Ok guys, it's time for me to get back into the shop. But it's cold out there!
What are you guys doing for heat? I need safe, dependable, cost-wise with the emphasis on SAFE !
I had considered:
Propane tank top heater - but I have concerns about dust and open flame. I don't think that even under the worst sanding conditions there is enough dust in the air to be a problem. This is my most likely choice. Can be located where I need it.
Electric - cheap and easy, until you turn it on. Then the meter spins like a cd player. Can be loacted where needed
Woodstove - I want to expend energy on working on guitars, not chopping, toting, stoking wood. Not movable ... would have to move to it or keep it roaring.
I can get the propane tank top easy and cheap .... I have access to a barrel to build a barrel wood stove .... IMHO electric really isn't an option.
Thoughts?

I agree that this can happen, but EVERYTHING I have seen indicates that having enough dust in the air to do this would make it impossible to breathe. Basically, It would be like throwing a bucket of dust in the flame.
BUT, that could be wrong.
The gas/garage story doesn't apply to here. This is in workshop, not a garage. But then again, his problem was OTHER circumstances ... leaking gas is bad anywhere.

I have a power sander that I use on my drill press and this kicks up a thick heavy cloud of fine dust that would ignite if any open flame were in my garage when I'm sanding. When I sand using this equipment I'm usually sanding many wood parts and going through all of the different grits. I wear a respirator which is mandatory using this equipment.
I do all of my wood working in my garage and I do park my cars in my garage also. I'm sure many people on this forum use their garage the same way I do, so my buddies car leaking gas story is just good information to keep in mind for those people that use their garage as much as I do. I'm just extremely big on safety
