It's usable and almost finished. Needs some kind of "guards" on both

Don Foreman said that not so bright red color of the coils is fine, I
will look for a bigger fan at acceptable price, but for now will use
what I have. The fan I have now is about 230 CFM.

I think I said that glowing some won't hurt the coils since coils in
toasters and radiant heaters also glow. I also recommended using a
larger fan. Glowing coils could result in undesirably high enclosure
temperature.
