It is hard to believe that four candles ( Not for Forks) can really heat up a workshop, has anybody on hear tried it?
Have I not read that you need to be careful with gas heaters as they give off condensation that can result in rusty tools
See below for any that do not know of Four candles Fork Handles

I have an electric heater, not sure output, but unless I stand right next to it, it does no good in the uninsulated 2 car garage. To make matters worse, this winter has already hit below 0°F and that was before winter officially started. I think I will get one of those propane heaters to keep warm…
That’s always a good option Sandy! I wonder if anyone had found a nice pair of gloves to use? Like mechanic gloves,. When it gets cold, my knuckles stiffen up.
My question is, should we be concerned about the joinery made in an uncontrolled environment and wood movement? Winters tend to be extremely dry and summers extremely humid here in Illinois.
I was visiting a friend of mine the other day, and we went out to his shop, and I was suprised how comfortable it was since it was about 10F outside. His shop is 16′ x 20′ and insulated, he had two 8′ Cove Heaters up on one wall, the radiant heat kept the entire shop warm enough that I had to take my jacket off and work in my shirt sleeves.
Here is a link if anyone is interested.
