Saw works at -12F!

[RmeDad]

Keeping with the theme of the thread, I just thought I would let you all know that the saw has been working fine in Phoenix at 80 degrees also! I will advise this summer whether it works at 120 or not! LOL!

STAY WARM GUYS!

[Hey Blue]

Cold here too!

I know what you mean! In my shop in Tempe, AZ, it got down to almost 70 the other night. I **** near had to turn off my ceiling fans! BRRRRRRRRRR!

The only reason I would go outside in -12 degrees would be to get in my car to go back home to Florida. It has been cold this winter with having to turn the ceiling fan off in the garage at night. What's up with that?

And BTW, when it's hot, all you need is shade and a breeze to cool off. Nobody's got to put on 18 lbs. of clothes just to function.

And you think it's gonna just start right up, don't you.

Blue is a particularly appropriate color for these smilies, BTW. Or do they show up as a healthy pink in Florida?

Oh C'mon these days even the frozen North isn't that frozen (well, I guess it still is up when Stick hangs out ). We went all of January without going below 0! It's been over a decade since we hit -30 in the Cities, and as someone who likes snow the lack thereof has been somewhat disappointing.

But with all of that said.

I finally gave up this winter and have started moving everything into the basement and building up a shop down there. I don't mind being cool (~40+ is fine when dressed appropriately) but I was tired of using 4000W of spot lighting as pseudo radiant heaters when the temp would drop into the teens or single digits.

42 degree swing

A balmy 30F in the shop this afternoon. I didn't have to remember to not put the key between my lips when fumbling around at the garage door with an armful of lumber.

About two weeks ago I had to build some speakers for a paying customer so I was cutting mdf in my tiny shop and it was -26 below. I took the heat lamp out of the chicken coupe and it actually kept things warm.

Got frozen chickens?

The chickens do alright as long as I put the lamp back when I'm done. One of the roosters crows none stop , so he's about ready to become lunch .

Going to the beach, huh? Not a bad idea. But, I got boards to rip, 2X10X10's to be exact, for my bench top. Had the BT out on the driveway when working since I don't have a DC unit yet, and got a red neck to prove it. Where in Orlando are you?

I'm in Conway.

I don't heat my chicken house at all, just their water. They do fine as long as they're out of the wind. We only use heat lamps for chicks.

Oh, and yeah, a couple comments. A BT3100 works at -40C. And MDF dust hasn't exploded on me yet and I heat with wood.
