Robinson Hot Air Engine.
Stilldrillin:
I hear you John. But.
For the little shop time I get, even in the summer......
It would take me all summer to insulate, so I could notice any small heater improvement.
Really not worth constant heating, when I can only get up to an hour's playtime, several daytimes a week.
On/ off heating causes condensation.
In winter I catch up on other, indoor things..... Ancestry at the moment.

David, you might consider getting a small version of the infra-red heaters used over outdoor pub tables. My rifle club has two 100' x 25' indoor rifle ranges, only used for 3 hours each evening, and we find infra-reds quite effective at keeping the chill off us on the firing point. They only heat what the radiation hits, so we aren't trying to warm up a vast volume of air in a poorly insulated building, and the effect is instantaneous.

Thanks Andy!
I already have one of those infra red heaters! Bought new, 2 years back, and now forgotten, in the greenhouse..... ::)
Will give it a whirl, when I feel ready to try again. :thumbup:
We had them on our ranges too. Very welcome, when it was your turn to be RO.

You've reminded me - it's my turn as RO on Monday night, buggrit. Met Office predicts -5C. :(
Note how those tears seem to freeze as they hit the floor. And I bet not many turn up. Still, at least we have a separate clubroom with fan heaters.
