Prostheta Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Another trick of mine is having the clothes dryer in the workshop with the outlet plumbed into a bucket to collect moisture instead of discharging to the outside.. Nothing like woodworking in a sauna Sauna is dry, not humid :-\ You're thinking of a banya or hammams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buter Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I could really go for a hammam sandwich and a banya split. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hilarious! I wouldn't dream of cranking a workshop up to 95-100°C and working naked :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Sauna is dry, not humid :-\ You're thinking of a banya or hammams. I am?I don't even know what those two things are... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauna Maybe I am thinking of a steam room...but being just a redneck from Texas,I suppose I could be off on my sauna lingo.

Tim37 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 is a small room or house designed as a place to experience dry or wet heat sessions i think your right wes but then agian i bet Texans kind think the same thing about saunas as we do here. just go out side and sit on the porch.

Prostheta Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Yep. Nobody quite has it down for being sweaty than Texans ;-) I've got to really figure out how to heat and cool my own workshop here in Finland when I get chance to build one again. The temps range from +35°C to -35°C or thereabouts, so it's definitely a big consideration. Put humidity on top of that and I've got a real adventure.

guitar101 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I recently moved into a house that has a 1 car garage (about 250 sq feet). Its a pretty small space and is fully insulated and everything but the ceiling is sheetrocked and taped. It currently has no heat in it and i have been using a kerosene heater to keep it warm when im working in there. I want to move to a better heating system that is less toxic and can be left on low when im not using the space. I am thinking of either getting a propane tank and a vent free heater, or going with a dayton g73 electric heater. Was just looking to get some insight from everyone here. I live in NY so i have pretty cold winters, but not completely brutal. Thanks! I use a natural gas heater suspended fron the ceiling. I leave the shop at about 50 degrees Farenheit and turn it up when I need to. Works great in Northern Ontario. My walls and ceiling are insulated.

tjiscooler Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I had an electric space heater but it blew a fuse and that was the end of that. Now I wear lots of layers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
