Default cold

Living in south eastern Michigan , and wishing to spend my tightly guarded dollars on tools and supplies not heat , I work in a insulated but not heated by any thing more than the concrete floor and the earth below it. I have been working on My new shop space with R30 walls and ceiling but ear again no source of heat other than my activities . In my old shop water seldom freezes in the winter . My artic insulated CarHardt overalls are my friend . I find it hard to send dollars up the chimney gone for good when spent on tools I will have for years not heat gone in hours . But this approach gets harder the older I get . I got into shaping metal in the cold after finding MM and being bored out of my mind by winter .
