I put the woodstove on in the workshop yesterday, as I had some gluing up to do. A bit of a palaver, if I'm only in there for a short period of time, but for a whole day's stint, well worth the effort.
Managed to get the temperature up to a balmy 68 F .on my Factory's Act thermometer. Which , for me is positively 'Bahamas' This did wake up a wasp from it's winter sleep, and it spent the rest of the day crashing into my fluorescent tubes
In the past, with various rented workshops , heating was a problem. One, an old cowshed, of flint and clapperboard constriction was impossible to bring up to a workable temperature, especially during a cold-snap such as this, Work ,would then, invariably, have to stop until the weather changed, as the outside loo would, also, be frozen,
There has been a trade -off between the former and present workshops. With the old ,there was plenty of space , allowing me to tackle larger commissions, but with lots of winter down-time.
With the present one it can be used throughout the year and offers a pleasant working conditions, though the downside is, that I am a bit restricted for space.
