I must admit that my tiny workshop 11 ft x 8ft inside dimensions struggles a bit with condensation.
the panoramic rather stretches it out
So, I use a small 150W tube heater with a thermostat set at around 7°C to limit the temperature drop. Plus I use a chemical dehumidifier. This keeps the humidity down and stops the worst of the rust.
I have avoided the electrical dehumidifiers based on the fact it will just take up more room. However, I was contacted by Alan with a measurement and control system that can switch a heater and a dehumidifier based on dewpoint measurements.
Hence I wondered what other techniques people use to reduce workshop humidity?
