What will freeze in the workshop?

It's that time of the year again, and I'm trying to
figure out what I should bring in to keep from
freezing.

Glue, definitely.
Take the water stones out the water

What else? Can I leave finishes out? Poly? BLO?
Tung Oil?

Thanks,

S.

I did something similar but used a metal cabinet and a 1500 watt finned bar
heater and b10 mechanical thermostat from Graingers.

I did not want to have the chance of the spark produced by a light bulb in
the same cabinet as the resins and such so I used the heater which only
operates in the black heat range.

I bought it with potted leads as well so there was no chance of a spark in
the cabinet.

I can't answer your question about the oil based products because I'm not
taking any chances. Even if not frozen, rubbing tung oil at 25 degrees
can't be good so I bring all that stuff into the house I made a simple tot
with handle to carry out the glue or whatever when I'm going to work out
there.

buy yourself a 48 qt cooler , put anything that will freeze, in it also drop
a trouble light with a 10-15 watt bulb in it and leave in nothing will
freeze.

That's a good idea. I went ahead and made a tote (tot) and
carry that in and out. One thing I like about hand cutting
dovetails is that I can use plywood.

I also remembered batteries. Must bring in rechargeable
drill batteries so they won't charge in freezing weather.

Just kidding, I guess.

Or were you -really- trying to get his goat?

Making a simple tot is easy enough, but how'd you put a handle on it?

To be sure read the label for each product or take everything to a
location where it won't freeze.
