I keep knocking over me pots of nuts and bolts, it's really getting to me...........I need more room!

matt, i use an oil filled(mains electric) heater in my "hut" .. cause theres no exposed eliments theres no fire risk, and no danger if it gets knocked over / you pour something over it. cheap too, think mines was ~£20.

never liked useing exposed eliment heaters in a petrol/thinners soacked environment.

Remember you still got 218 bananas with this cam timing and similar power when it was spot on and felt the same at the bottom end!

rev oil heaters.

belive me these do catch fire , they used these alot out in bosnia to heat up the pongos rooms in the winter we had loads which catch fire as the element gets knocked it weakens the join to the heater and oil starts to leak into the element chamber and bingo she goes up so be carefull when using them.

Well that's from a fireman, so yes be careful.

Yes Carl what i can't work out, is i do the same thing evey year and, i found it this year, i haven't changed the way i did it, but i guess it was a half a sleep moment.

also polystyrene isnt a good idea nether if that catches fire it will burn like a barsted,

best thing is to line the shed with stirling board.
