Are You Ready For Winter?

[@philbaker1085]

I've found a fan heater to be an excellent way to blow dust around the workshop. I stopped using it and installed an infra-red heater instead. This keeps me much warmer more quickly.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I have an air filter so it’s not dusty

[@julianugentarchitect]

Your videography and editing on this one is great! Nice color balance, creative shots, simple storytelling

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. Much appreciated

[@WoodworkJourney]

The lighting and B-roll with music all seems like it’s gone up a notch and looks great, nice job! 👍

[@freakeystyley34]

Sorry to say it but that heater is going to drain the batteries way quicker than you think. We have a similar battery in our campervan and my attempts at running even a little 300w fan heater were disappointing. If you're doing anything, an infra red panel would be more effective and wouldn't blow dust around as another commenter said.

[@mickgoodbe235]

I’m just about to install a Delta Pro to do the same - have you got a video of your setup - if not would be interesting to see what you’ve done 👍

[@fredsmith6725]

Im looking forward to more winter time kitchen ramblings. HINT HINT😁. Thanks for the video.

[@hugov392]

I use a zeolite/desiccant based dehumidifier instead of a heater now in the workshop. These put out about 300-500W of heat and move the air, like a fan heater, but also remove water (into a tank you empty after ~15-30 hrs of use, depending obviously on how much moisture there is in the first place) and help prevent rust, wood warping, etc. Knock on wood it's been reliable for the past couple of years (Ecoair brand). In a small, well sealed space, even the moisture from your breath is enough to cause rusty tools.

[@davidbirch3479]

i have a similar vice - i mounted it onto a T shaped pit of wood which i can clamp in my bench vice. no need to hold it then :)

[@gan314159]

Came here to say exactly that! It's a trick I saw Paul Sellers do and.... He's the maestro

[@thomasbagwell4510]

I am blessed to live in Southwest Florida in the US. Our January high temperatures average around 25° C. Luckily my shop is air conditioned because summer highs average around 33° C. 😎🌴

[@alastairmackay4589]

Love the peaceful, slightly doleful, ‘winter is coming’ music.

[@WeekendShedHead]

What a beautifully constructed video Matt 🙌 enjoy the warmth , cheers Rob

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@davebron4888]

You would only need a diesel heater on the lowest setting to heat that place.

[@GreenSaxon]

Imagine the cost of that set up too, eco flow/ solar panels/heater/wiring. Cost an absolute fortune. Have to sell a hell of a lot of lamps to justify that lot.

[@MS-watch-YT]

Do those solar panels really give enough to charge the battery in winter when you’ll be running the heater on top of tools?

[@dwalsh3469]

I kinda doubt it, particularly in winter. But, I might be wrong.

[@120woodcraft]

I have a 2kw fan heater in my reasonably insulated shed workshop. On cold mornings it can take 2 hours to get warm. I’m on mains power but yours will chomp through the power pack. I’ve been considering a diesel heater simply for the fast heating. Less convenient, but far quicker.

[@joelhollingsworth2374]

One option that might be interesting is a portable air conditioner: one would need a valve to make a built-in unit double as a heat pump, but a window or portable unit can sometimes be used for heating just by changing the way air flows. Such a unit might be less expensive than usual at this time of year.

[@williba24]

Good choice of heater, I use the identical in the greehouse, excellent heater.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I’m glad it’s been working well for you

[@adammono1839]

It looks like a mini coffee table too!

[@dougsaunders8109]

Monday treat!

I've recently experienced the heat from an IR panel, did a good job. However, that doesn't move the air. I've also used an electric caravan heater. Lovely video Matt!

[@Badgerworkshop]

I will look at caravan heaters. Thank you

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome work, Matt! 😊 I loved the tea holder! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@truth3358]

Bad idea in a dusty shed But a good bit off kit 👍

[@markdyballuk]

Perfect timing Matt, thank you so much for the ecoflow information, very kind 👍

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@triggerthesound767]

Wow when you sit in front of those chisels that looks so hazardous, with all those exposed razor sharp ends just waiting for you to bump up against them.

[@awantamta]

You now have an absolutely brilliant setup

[@Badgerworkshop]

I’m pleased with it

[@bobx2387]

We are becoming a lazy Badger,,, Armchair, heating and tea tray. Now you have a Saw Stop you will have to find another way to trim sausages for Kitchen Ramblings. Great vid and production.. Go well Chef. Bob (Weston super Mare)

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Matt, Nice little project very handy just for those relaxing moments when you just finish a project, sit down with a nice warm drink and admire your work over the winter months with the heater on. Great video catch you soon take care

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you very much

[@philliprees7704]

great video and love the music very relaxing

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@GreenSaxon]

How much power will the solar panels be generating during winter is the question uppermost in my mind.

[@jscook54]

Love the music you added while building

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍 I was going to comment on your video, but Julianugentarchitect has already said it all. Just like to add, great sound track. Thanks Matt

[@carvideos3948]

Hiya what heater was it you used please? Can you share the link for it.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It’s this one amzn.to/4epGp6p

[@MrDancingBishop]

What panels did you get. I think it's time this winter to get some heat 😅

[@terrywalker4733]

Another Great video Matt, please keep them coming.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@colnelrandy]

What size is your workshop??

[@andyc972]

Thanks Matt, those changes should help to keep you cosy through the Autumn & Winter, good job you cleaned up that solar panel eh ! 😉

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you. It should keep me warm

[@davebron4888]

The heater is cheap to run....oh i do have a couple of grands worth of battery pack and solar panels though..

[@pitsnipe5559]

You put any more stuff in that workshop and you’ll have to move it to the house and live in the workshop. 😊

[@freakeystyley34]

What are you doing for ventilation in there Matt? You shouldn't assume it'll look after itself. There are little units available with heat recovery that just blow cold air out for a minute, also heating up a block inside, then blow fresh cold air in for a minute, heated by the block.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I have an air vent

[@karenfrostick6949]

I manage a charity and we have a large offgrid workshop on an allotment site we need to power lights 10 to 4pm and possibly a small heater which ecoflow unit would ypu recommend

[@FrozenMonkeyG]

why don't you mount your vice to a wooden board with a block on the bottom so you can clamp it into your wood clamp on your work bench and it won't rattle around when you try to use it?

[@forgotrafe]

I've done that with my grinder and a few other tools that don't deserve a permanent bench mount. Works really well.

[@kevinronald4137]

Hi Matt, you are looking comfortable very jealous you only need a bar now. Where do you get those door insulators? Just a thought about your tea holder looks rather chunky. Why did you not split your wood on the band saw? Your program is brilliant, watched for years.

[@Badgerworkshop]

It was these I used amzn.to/47ZD23v

[@kevinronald4137]

@@Badgerworkshop thank you.

[@colnelrandy]

Must be nice to get a free saw stop tablesaw. Lucky sod

[@samphire]

You can get one for free too if you put thousands of hours into making videos, oh wait, it wouldn't be free then... ;)

[@colnelrandy]

True but would be nice lol​@samphire
