Am I the only one ??

[matts2]

Am I the only one that has a hard time getting out to the non-air conditioned shop to work on bows or really anything this time of year.  The heat is just too much to deal with now.

[Roy from Pa]

Yup, at 63 heat and I don't get along.

A 49 yo guy died at work here in the area the other day. Heat stroke. He went outside to take a break, when he didn't come back on time they went to check on him and he was dead.

You gotta be careful in this heat, sensible.

I still get out in the garage to do some bow work, but I get out there before daylight and I'm back in the house before noon. Just glued the handle section on an Ipe blank and I'm back in the house now at 11:50 am, and it's already near 100 deg.F out there. I don't get back out till the sun is nearly over the hill from me.

I get dizzy and light headed if I'm out in it too long and I'm only 42 but I think alot of it has to do with the meds I'm taking?

[Goose Gossett]

Had to suck it up yesterday and do something outside.  It's hot.  I was drenched.

[John Scifres]

I spent a few hours in the shop the last couple days.  Good to sweat it out.  In February, it's about 10 degrees in there

I have been working on one in the shop for the last few days. Of course I work nights for a living so I have just been burning the midnight oil!

Even at night lately it's been pretty dang hot and sticky though.

I'm just gonna say it. This heat just flat out sucks! I hate it! I think I might enjoy it more if I didnt have to work outside in it every day. My shop isnt air conditioned either and my bowbuilding really slows down this time of year.

[George Tsoukalas]

This time of the year I'll go outside and work in the gardens provided the temps are less than 90 deg. This past week I stayed inside. My workshop is in the basement. Too hot there too. Jawge

[T Folts]

My shop is in my basement and feels good this time of the year, no problems here.

[KellyG]

yep the low this day temp this week was 109 and 118 was the high. Just grateful it has not hit the 120 mark yet. Oh and my job keeps me inside.

[broketooth]

after 20 plus yrs in south eastern humidity during the summertime framing houses, the humidity we deal with separates the men from the boys. My trade is old school...there is no such thing as comfort! you do what you have to do. You need to suck it up, and be a man! And anyone who lives in the southeast Atlantic  states who deals with what we deal with will tell you to suck it up! Hate to be negative, but we live with this everyday.

[WestTexan]

Yep it's tough, I think we have had only a few days just under a 100 here in well over 2 months now. After the last week of 16 hour days and a couple 18 hour ones and we have to ware FR clothing year round here so that just adds to the heat....killer.

[Aznboi3644]

I do landscaping so I'm outside in this heat for 10-12 hours a day 5/6 days a week.

I almost passed out a couple days ago from the heat...sat with the hose over my head for a few minutes.  Thought I was gonna be in trouble but I cooled down.

But after being in the heat all day I'm just too beat to work on bows much lol.  I'd rather sit and recoop from the day.

[beetlebailey1977]

Yes I am almost 34 and I have had heat exhaustion twice for sure and close to heat stroke one of those times.  I also get light headed and sweat severely.

[AKmud]

We were mid 70's on Friday....thought I was going to melt!    

[iso2k4]

Been trying to get power out to my shop.  So I worked out in the heat (96F) yesterday and today trenching, laying conduit and pulling wire.  First thing I am plugging in is a window AC unit.  Have to wait to connect the branch circuit until tomorrow.  I ran out of gas.

[PEARL DRUMS]

Im lucky with my heated/AC'ed basement shop. Its always 64 degrees with perfect humidity. Year round! Great place to season staves and work on bows. I go there to escape heat actually.

[fish n chicks]

I was out last night in the shop (garage to the mrs.) sweating like a banshee. I definitely have chosen to not go in due to the heat a few times this year, but I really want to get this bow done for the person it's going to. I just try not to sweat on the piece. I know what i'm saving up for now tho after my first summer in our house and my new shop:

All i need is a good fan... I do factory work around 300 degree  presses so outside feels good to me. My wife thinks I'm crazy
