"I use a Mr. Heater garage heater in the winter in Sacramento, CA. I prefer to work with the doors open in order to clear any dust particles from various woodworking tools that my vacuum system misses. I mounted the unit in such a way that it directs its' infrared heat waves directly on my work area. I work comfortably in 40- 50 degree temperatures, often in shirt sleeves. The beauty of this infrared heater is that it heats objects rather than the air and the effect is immediately felt. I have lots of tools, this one is my favorite!"
