    Sawdust Stove

    Obviously things have warmed up. But I’m looking towards next winter. I have seen several YouTube/blog woodworkers with sawdust stoves (both I believe are working abroad) but I like the idea of being able to upcycle some of my sawdust for heating purposes in my garage. I can’t however find...

    Rocket Mass Heater or other suggestions

    Hello all, I am looking for a heat source for my workshop. At the moment I am insulating the ceiling and walls. It is approximately 15'x30' in size with a concrete floor and is a separate building from my house. I have been thinking all along that I would be getting a 220v ceiling electric...

    Despite my best efforts to the contrary, I wound up in the doctor's office yesterday suffering from heat exhaustion / dehydration. My work has been outside for the last three weeks (siding replacement) I took all the precautions I could: Drink lots of water, drink "Gator Aid", take frequent...

    Help!!!! Painting in heat!

    I am desperate for help. I have a craft table I am trying to complete (just finishing to go), and I tried painting last night (spraying), but the nozzle clogs up almost immediately with just the primer (which I have thinned with some distilled water), and I cannot get anything accomplished...

    Heat Bending - what glue to use

    I have a project where I will want to heat bend some inlay banding on a hot iron pipe. The banding tends to separate under heat when using regular yellow wood glue. Titebond-II seems to work better, but I still get some separation. Anyone have any experience heat-bending a glued-up laminate...

    LP tank, tankless heater and duel-fuel heat pump

    The water heater thread reminded me that I've been putting off some decisions - so thanks to all for the info on tankless water heaters. I've been considering one of those for a couple of reasons, primarily energy efficiency. The unlimited hot water will be nice as our three boys start...

    Shop Cold? Very Cheap Heat

    I have not built one of these bad boys but I've heard they are well worth the time spent. And it's fueled with a byproduct of all wood shops (sawdust) and just as good uses no electricity :gar-Bi Link ---> http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=317

    Heat For Shop

    My shop is 16x24, insulated. I could make it a little more air-tight. I don't need heat for me. I am comfortable working down to about 35 degrees. I don't have the budget for full-time heat. We also don't have gas here. So... I am looking for heat mostly for glue-ups/finishing. I'd...

    Finish heat resistance?

    I've replaced the top from the my first kitchen table I made a year go. Wasn't the best idea for that to be my first project ever but hey I learned plenty. Now I made the new top out of black walnut and put on my finish. Here's the finish schedule I used. 2 coats of garnet shellac ~1.5# cut...

    Heat, Wonderful Heat

    Sweating in the winter is one of the reasons I wanted to move South!! After much hemming and hawing I decided I needed a heater for the shop. I had decided to get an electric (Dayton type) heater and deal with any power issues that might arise. I discussed this with a very good friend, telling...

    Augmenting heat options?

    Ok it's freaking cold AGAIN, I have a big old 2 story house with big rooms, 10' ceilings which is hard to heat. My wife would kill me if I dropped the ceilings and frankly I like em too. I really need to supplement my gas pack with something else beside propane (Cha Ching, bend over, yada...

    Shop Heat? wood/coal

    Hi Everyone, I am in need of a wood fired shop heater. I have a small, old worn out, grates bad, fire brick all busted ( get the picture) wood stove in the shop right now and it just will not hold enough fire. I am spending more time keeping the fire fed than getting anything done just to keep...

    shop heat

    My shop is set up in my brothers 4000sf building. His office space takes up about 1000sf. My actual shop space takes up about 900sf. The problem is that the shop space is wide open to the 3000sf warehouse area of the building. All that space seems great, and it is, but heating it is going to be...

    Unsafe heat

    I put this thread under the safty and health forum rather than the usual griping thread. I had a small honey do project that needed doing last night. I came home for lunch and turned on my AC (24000 BTUs) and a fan to help circulate the air. By 7:30 the temp had dropped to a bone chilling 87...

    Prickly Heat

    I suffer from Prickly Heat- BAD. It is when a bacteria on the skin infects the sweat pores, causing them to close at the skin. The sweat collects below the skin, forming a firery red blister. They itch worse than poison oak. Scratching the blister off causes relief from the effects of the...
