Not that I have been doing a lot of work out there with taking care of mom, but have the Big Buddy Heater going out there. With a WalMart lined Flannel shirt on over a T shirt 50-52*F is suffice, 55* is perfect, no glue ups and onlyhands and feet are okay, but for you softies I keep my house at 64-65*, here at Moms, for her it is 73*.
55* is more then nice in the shop.
I am looking at a this heater for my place in Appleton,Wi after my stint here with mom, it should not be too long, less then a year I figure. Most shop is in the basement some things in the garage, but nice to get into a 55*F car that warms up in half mile

The Hot Dawg is a good unit. You could save some $$$ and installation hassle by using a PROCOM wall mounted ventless and flameless heater.

My basement woodshop is really nice in the summer with the AC going, stays about 60 to 65. My problem is that since my wood/coal furnace sits in there next to the chimney it tends to be too hot much of the winter. Right now the outside temp is 23 and the woodshop is about 75+. I just need to change some ducting around and close off the area more and should be able to get it down to about 65. I just can't seem to get to it. Thankfully the furnace is an insulated cool cabinet one. With a roaring fire going most of the cabinet is cool to the touch. Not just warm, it actually feels cool. The door area is the only place where it puts off much heat directly. Maybe I can get that ducting ran this week while it is cold out.
