#173

Just an update on my Shop Heater Project. I got it installed and am doing the initial burn for heat. Testing the blower and checking temperatures around the heater. I have also selected a name for it from the many names suggested by the project viewers. Thanks to the many suggestions from viewers on this build I believe I have a top notch heater for my shop.

Excellent build SIr. Great presentation.

[@mikemason4987]

Well done. That boy can weld!

[@johnbutler5208]

Love that heat exchanger

[@CrossesbyCharlie]

I used to watch your channel a while ago. I think we even chatted a couple of times about turning. Some life changes took me away from turning and I'm trying to get back into it now so I looked you back up. The stove looks good. I think you did a really good job on it. The only improvement I would make, would be to put a pot of chilli on top on a cool morning and see how it cooks like and how good it would make the shop smell. It would be fitting to have it in a cast iron pot. I just think that would top it off just right. If you are a coffee drinker and old fashioned coffee pot on top would look good on it too. Thumbs up.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you sir and good luck on your return to turning. I used to keep my percolator on my old woodstove and it really made a great pot of coffee. I have Cast Iron Dutch Oven and may just see how that will work. Thank you sir and I'm glad you enjoyed this project.

Great job Stephen, turned out great. You can cook you a pot of beans while heating your shop. Enjoyed watching the build.

[@creedsexton296]

Steve I truly enjoyed this build I am not a guy who can do metal work so I learned at bit in the process thank you for all of your content....great job.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. I do not know much about metal work either. I just picked it up as a hobby. Just like woodturning, "Make every weld a practice weld". I really enjoy it also. Take care.

[@toddcorey3190]

Hey Stephen, been a minute. You seem well. Yeah, my shop is 24/32 and this year I decided on doing a heat pump. I found a great deal on a wall unit. We heat our house w wood. Ain’t nuttin like wood heat here in KY.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Todd. I run a heat pump in the house with a really nice woodstove as backup for those really cold nights. Works great. I agree that wood is a different kind of heat. It is just better. Thank you and take care.

[@wisconsinbush2940]

I’m using a gas furnace blower motor assembly on low. It’s amazing how hot it gets in there with the fan on low. I also have my blower fan on a thermostat. Thanks for the idea!

[@milltek2]

Really great fire Stephen. That sucker'll keep you toasty as long as and as much as you want! I used to live in a two story house in the North East with an over-sized wood fire and it used to get to 85 degrees upstairs no matter the outside temp!! You really did a marvelous job!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. I am hoping to one day have a larger shop and hopefully this heater will heat it. Glad you enjoyed this project and thanks for commenting. Take care.

[@The2Time4792]

Great video

[@brianbest3777]

Great series and superb Burnie. No shortage of coffee with a good heavy jug! Enjoy

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Brian. Glad you enjoyed this project. I have a ten cup Percolator to keep hot coffee on the stove. Take care brother.

[@raysimon1368]

Great job I would also add a damper in the exhaust pipe to shut down the air going out when the fire is just coals works great been heating my house with wood only for 30 years like your videos keep em coming

[@jameskoehn4331]

Great Job Steve, Looks Great. Put a patent on it, if it all works out. Market it. Berney got a nice burn to it. 😎

[@qubadmalik1]

Great build and design. God Bless you brother. Keep safe.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed this project. Take care.

[@jefffoggymountainworkshop5021]

Awesome job Stephen! Came out great and should keep your shop nice and toasty. You won’t want to leave! Cool name too!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Jeff and yes, I can get out there earlier and work later. Been wanting this for a long time now. Take care my friend.

[@josephbrabham8209]

Great job! Will keep the bones warm!!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Joseph. I certainly hope so. Glad you enjoyed this project. Take care.

Thanks for sharing enjoy the series

[@jackthompson8019]

I guess that I am just lucky. My shop is in my basement and stays around 52 degrees year around. Good job making your more comfortable.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Jack. You are one of the lucky ones for sure. Glad you enjoyed this project my friend.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Awesome job glad it’s working out for you stay warm my friend take care god bless

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Donald. Can't wait to really get to using it. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. God bless you also.

[@SD-rq2ob]

Great project, enjoyed watching, thanks for posting. Stay safe, keep warm.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you SD. Glad you enjoyed this project.

[@annlaurie1484]

Great name and great job, well done. 👏

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Ann. Glad you enjoyed it. I think the name just works. LOL!

[@jamestempleton1627]

53 myself. The older you get the colder you get. I don't have any heat in my shop so I get it.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you James. I know exactly what you mean. It started all of a sudden also. I just do not like trying to work in the cold. Now, Hopefully I can. Take care brother.

[@jeffp7698]

Ha Ha, Glad you liked my suggestion, proud to be part of the stove build. How warm did the shop end up getting?

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you JP. Yeah, I really like the name and the shop is warmer that it has ever been. With a small fire and around 30 degrees outside it reached up to around 55. Plenty cozy for a shop. More than that and it begins to get uncomfortable the other way. LOL! Thank you for the name and take care.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great wood burner.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Doug. Glad you like it my friend.

[@jgotton6427]

Hey Steve. Nice addition to the shop. Nothing like woodstove heat AND the perfect way to get rid of all those cut offs and scraps. The only change I would make is to reverse the connections on your stove pipe so if there is any dripping of creosote it with stay on the inside of the pipe.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you JG. My old stove had the male connector and the top vent had the female connector. That is why I installed them this way. Your way makes better sense, but it would be a hassle to get it to work. Thank you very much for your suggestion and Thanks for Watching. Take care.

[@jgotton6427]

@@StephenOgle Understood. I enjoy your videos and look forward to coming projects. I like the fact that you are willing to share all aspects of what's involved. PS I'm jealous of that new lathe!

[@gregm312]

very nice build . looks great and very efficient .

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. I think it will work just fine. Glad you enjoyed this project.

[@tompuskar4426]

Nice! You can probably fry bacon and burgers on the top when you get hungry! LOL

[@exotictones1054]

Really good job man.looks great, works great,can't ask for more than that.hopefully the door w stay straight now.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you and I believe the door will be ok now. I have 4 pieces of angle on it and so far it seems just fine. It is a little tight when cold but after it gets hot the door works perfectly. Glad you enjoyed this project my friend. Take care.

[@ericschenck9954]

That is really awesome brother!

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Eric. Glad you enjoyed this little project. Take care brother.

[@ahsquared1]

Good job man! I like the name too... I'm certain you'll enjoy it, I cranked the heat up this morning in the shop it was 6°.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you very much. Sounds like you need it a little more than I do. I would probably not even be outside at 6 deg. However, now I probably can be. Glad you enjoyed this project.

[@johnbutler5208]

Very very nice I wish you could make one for me.

[@irishwanderer4206]

I used to always watch this channel I used to know you on Facebook from the woodchucks group my name is Darren if you can remember me, maybe not I didn't have a channel then, Darren Doheny is the name. Said I would tune in again wke through homelessness but I'm good now still have my lathe but can't use it living in an apartment.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you Darren. I left Facebook a couple of years back. I did not like the tracking and spying they do on their users. Glad you still have your lathe my friend and I hope you get back into a shop soon. Take care brother.

[@garymccoy2888]

@@StephenOgle I agree, I quit Facebook about a month ago. These big tech companies are a real threat.

[@darylreinke8621]

You’ll be turning in the middle of winter i in y your swim suit! I often see videos at this time of year where you can see the turner’s breath. How do you keep your finishing products from freezing?

[@StephenOgle]

LOL! Believe me, No one wants to see me in a swimsuit, LOL! Most of my finishing products are Oil or lacquer based and I honestly do not know. I have had my glue bottle to freeze before. Maybe it does not stay below freezing long enough to actually freeze in my shop. Good question.

[@johnbutler5208]

How much box elder would I have to send you in order to get a stove like that one. John.

[@pl747]

has the heat tubes in the top of the burn chamber warped up?

[@sttm1283]

not to be negative, but if you would put some effort in insulating that shed(did notice the gaps between the trusses and the walls or if it was the roof steel) you wouldnt be needing that nice big ass stove you built :D

[@SkunkTreeCarvings]

i put a Pyrex pie plate in the door of my stove in my old shop...i like to see the fire.

[@StephenOgle]

Thank you. That is a great idea. I would have never thought of using Pyrex. I like to watch the fire also. Take care.

[@davidstorm8879]

Your exhaust pipe should be fitted the other way round so your crimped ends are inside each other facing downwards so that the creosote residue from wood smoke drips back into the burner and is burnt away, the way you have your pipes the liquid creosote residue will run down the outside of the pipes is a potential fire-Hazard!

[@mattmiller-iv9qz]

put a forced air intake it will help you

[@edwardabrahamiii3742]
