I threw an old wood stove in a garage for a few years. I would build a fire, have my breakfast and go out there. I threw some foil faced insulation up into the rafters. 60 or so is a nice working temperature for me.
It was very homespun, but a very pleasant working environment and a nice routine. Carburetors and such were rebuilt inside on the old kitchen table. OTOH, yesterday I was rebuilding the chute motor for my snowblower on my knees next to the open garage door, so what do I know? I had to bring the motor case into the house and warm it on the stove to glue the permanent magnet back into place. It was probably 20 out, and I was happy as a clam.
Heating up a garage space isn't about a roaring fire with flames licking up the flue pipe. It is just about creating a little heat and a little common sense without the need for perfection. It is a little winter adventure to get out of the house and maybe do something useful or engrossing.
The thing is, if it is just about doing something and spending time out of the house, you can always turn the workspace into a project in and of itself. What do you think you want to do ?
