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