Interesting!<br><br> Just for fun, and given our collective experience with propane burners and electric heating elements, I believe we could figure out how to build electric/gas radiant/convective heaters for the shop. It could either be a wood box with the heating and reflective elements within (like the vacu-forming machine) or a metal box with a fan and flame bars like the forge. We have access to electric heating elements, propane, piping, material for ducting, fans, and etc. as well as people who have built such systems.<br>
