My turning "shop" is in my garage, this being the first year I'm trying it. I'm enjoying it so much that giving it up for the winter is not an option, but the weather up here will eventually keep me from working out there without a heat source. My dad gave me one of those forced air kerosene torpedo type heaters. It has plenty of power to keep it relatively warm in there, but it occured to me that there is somewhat of an open flame in the heater (with the red hot metal cap at the end). Since I don't yet have a dust collection system, am I creating a hazzard with this type of heater? Keep in mind, it never gets REALLY dusty, and the heater would be a good distance away from the lathe. Can I use this heater, or do you all have different suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
