Frank,

Thank you very much. I am definitely new to carving, but am enjoying it tremendously. I hope to learn much from everyone and someday be able to offer some expertise myself.

Thanks again.

Gary White

GWhite...I also have a garage shop and I bought a heater from home depot that goes on a 5 gallon propane bottle....my garage is insulated and so is the door but the heater heats the whole shop up in 10 minutes or less...shop is 24 x 32...just a thought!

Hi_HO...

Do any fumes accumulate to be concerned about?

Thanks for the advice.

Gary

You can smell the thing burning a bit but not bad, smells a lot like a kerosene heater...but goes away and I don't have to leave it on long anyway...don't want the shop hot, just warm enought to be half way comfortable.....

Great thanks. I, through an unfortunate moment of not paying enough attention, am replacing the garage doors anyway. The ceiling of the garage is not insulated but I intend to remedy that this spring.

Thanks a bunch.

I insulated the whole garage and covered with that white plastic material, but I insulated up into the rafters and left the ceiling joists exposed, that way I can use them for storage.....works great and in the summer allows the heat to raise up to the ridge and away from the working area and I installed two "turks head" turbines on the roof.....

Ive got about a dozen plastic shoebox size plastic tubs w/lids like those and was thinking of the same thing for quick easy axcess, but knowing plastics propertys when you really need to trust plastic to do its job it fails,
