Started several new projects on Friday in my unheated garage. Cut my blanks, sprayed my patterns with the glue I had warming in the house. That was enough for that session.
Saturday I drilled holes and prep'd all my peices. My feet were feeling like icecubes.
Sunday I actually cut one of the projects until I felt my core temp dropping. Stayed indoors
all day yesterday and today it is a balmy 10-15 degrees with the high of 25 today. Brrr....
Happy New Year everybody. Stay warm, Stay safe and happy scroll'n!!

My garage is the same way but I am in a old house the garage is not the one that has roll up door, it has two panels that open up, and they are not sealed good has big open gaps, I have tarp to block the wind but still gets cold, I use two work lights on stands that helps keep my head and hands warm. When I get too cold I call it down for a while too.

Sounds like it's time to invest in a small heater for the garage/workshop, I have a small fan heater in my 16' x 10' shed, I put it on then go make a coffee , when I return it's lovely and warm in the shed.

About 10 years ago I built a 2 story shed (12x24) and that was one of my priority items. That the bottom floor be insulated and heated. I use a small gas furnace and it normally costs me about $100 a winter to heat. Mind you I only fire up the furnace when I'm out there which is 3 to 4 times a week in the winter.

I walk out to my garage and turn the temp up to 65 degrees. I purchased a electric furnace for $75 about 20 years ago. It came out of an old mobile home. The walk from the house to the shop is cold....... ;D I am looking to put an AC unit this coming summer maybe ;D

It was so cold here this morning I saw a guy trying to chip his dog loose from a fire hydrant.

It was so cold here that this morning I saw a layer standing on the corner with his hands in his own pocket! No offense you lawyers out there! LOL

It's so cold here that the cold is looking for some place to warm up.

While driving my car home from work last night, my dashboard thermometer said it was minus 27 degrees Celsius. (-18 Fahrenheit) You know it's cold out when the snow has a loud crunching sound under your boots. I didn't even venture out to the workshop, it was that cold. My wife thought I was sick. :-[

Sounds like time to buy a BIG heater ;-)
