I hang one of those cheap foam filters in front of the a/c's filter. It can be shook or blown out many times before it needs replaced.

I do the same as Bowjunkie, placing a cheap pre-filter in front of the A/C's normal filter.  I replace the pre-filter a couple of times during the summer.  I always pull my A/C out of the wall in the spring and rinse the coils out with water before the next seasons use.

I like it, but it's for the bow wood more than it is for me. It maintains a perfect relative humidity in there. If it was just for my comfort, I'd only have it on when I was out there, but it's on all the time from may to october.

Just stepped out in my garage and raised the door to let it cool down a little, it was only 93 degrees. Many bows hanging out there, a couple strung,.

Don't worry Mark, have ac in my shop too..  :)  I clean the front filter before each use, that fine Osage dust really plugs it up.

I wouldn't even start to bend wood if the humidity was a lick over 60%. AC is essential if a guy works in a garage. I work in a basement shop, so a dehumidifier is my best friend. I dabble all summer, but fall and winter is when I really get after it. Humidity down in the 20s and 30s makes osage meaner than a snake.
