Got my 4800w 220v construction / wkshop heater wired to sub panel today and
after an afternoon and evening in the shop I think it is going to provide a
pretty comfortable working area. This will be my first winter of being
completely retired.
SWMBO is very happy that I am so pleased. She also helped with the
insulating and panelling of what used to be a garage and now is a workshop.
Thanks for help with questions along the way!

Wife bought a Marvin heater to hang from joist aimed at the bench that
has 2 tubes from Lee Valley. Toasty!

Ease off. My shop's 230 sq ft. When the son-in-law and I are both working
down there as we have been recently, we have to sidestep between machines to
let the other pass in the aisles.
There's another 24 sq foot available if I get SWMBO a side-by-side
refrigerator and get rid of the freezer and wall. Nest empties in another
year, so there's hope.

that small of a shop just eat bean and the gas would be enough to warm
it (G) or just use a propane torch that would be a big enough heat
source.

I agree. It's especially irritating to be covered in saw dust AND be hot. At
least if you're a little cool, it doesn't stick to you as well as brushes
off easily if it does.

Congrats! Brought to mind my first year here in the mountains with no
heat in the shop. I had a small electric heater sitting on the
workbench to keep the glue and my fingers from freezing. That sucked.
