    Electric heater question

    I would love to have a wood stove in my shop but there are just to many problems to overcome for me. First is I don't have the space and even if I did there are a lot of trees that go over top of my shop so I would be concerned with the chimney being to close. Also I often times am only in the...

    Busy Bee Tools selling Accusize products

    Good to know. It's been a long time since I have bought anything from busy bee. Last time I dealt with them I kept getting the run around on when things would be back in stock. Seems like they were always waiting for more stock to come in and didn't have the items they had on sale.

    Electric heater question

    They are but this is my third or fourth one and they have all had this problem. From googling last winter I guess it is a common problem with electric thermostats. I am not sure if it being in an exterior wall plays a part as well. If anyone can help solve the thermostat problem I would be...

    Electric heater question

    For metal working I am comfortable if it is 10 degrees. but for wood working with glues and finishes I like to have it at least 15 or better. I also want it always above freezing so I don't get rusting issues on equipment. Keeping it above freezing can be bit of a guessing game with the...
