Brrr, It's cold in the woodshop!
 

In spite of the the wicked cold temperatures today, I still managed to
get a little woodwerk'en done. Had my propane heater blasting.

Damn but ain't that the truth? I had between 20 and 25 for the bulk of the
day today. It didn't stop the few things I had to do but I really need to
rethink the space I'm in. A friend talks about moving his guitar shop not
too far from me... That would suit me fine.

Yesterday I went into the shop, got a couple of washers I needed and left.
I won't go back to do any work now until mid March.

Ed,

I bought a small propane heater a couple of years ago. Works ok. I
pre-heat the garage'er woodshop for fifteen minutes or so and it keeps
me moderately comfortable.
My garage is finished off and holds the heat ok. The weakest link is
the garage door which is cheaply made with Styrofoam panels. It's
tempting to upgrade the garage door to something more insulating.

Looked outside my window today at a 72F reading.

Would have preferred an 80F, but it's January.

I do have a 30,000 Btu heater and it gives me a 30 degree temperature rise.
15 + 30 = too cold to work. especially after a single digit night.

If I insulate the ceiling I'd get a lot more out of it, but every time I
look at what has to be done, I sort of lose interest. It would be a PITA.

Brrr, It's cold in the woodshop!

Around here (Midwest) I actually sweat MORE in winter than summer. Some
stores keep it way too warm to keep a coat on and be comfortable.
