re: heaters

My first shop was heated (primarily) with a wood stove, though I had a gas forced air furnace to hold the temps to 50º when I wasn’t in there. I have to admit, the crackle of a fire in the stove (along with a chance to conceal all mistakes) was really special when I was working in there on a snowy day. But the stove did take a sizable piece of real estate and eventually had to go to make room for an assembly table (sigh). We moved and my new shop is slightly larger, but evne though I brought that wood stove with I haven’t hooked it up…just putting in another gas forced air furnace. Some day, maybe, I’ll put the wood stove in; but as I age I find the prospect of gathering fire wood a lot less attractive.
