My shop is 12 x 24 metal siding and roof and no insulation, located in
southern MN.

When outside temperature is below 35 degrees I abandon it and do other
things.

But warmer than that, I bundle up good (insulated pants, multiple jacket
layers, and stocking cap) and go out. I have a small propane radiant
heater (the round type). I hung 2 250 watt heat lamps over the bench, and
two over the lathe.

(By the way, I tested the heater by blowing a handful of sawdust into it
when it was running. Just a mini 4th of July as dust grains flared into
sparks).

I've been amazed how much I can do in that environment, without my hands
getting TOO cold. Of course any gluing, or finishing has to be moved into a
heated location, as well as anything that has water.

Probably doesn't fit your situation.

Luxuriating in warmth these days.
