[General] Heating Note

[Ethan Chew]

Interesting!

          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.
