Climate change in garage affecting table?

I have a 2 car garage (20' x 21') that I'm putting a 9' in tomorrow and it has no heating / air, but the door goes right to the living room. Modifying ductwork to the garage is not an option either. There are no windows and no vents so I dont know exactly how I'm going to cool it but I have some time for that one since it's coming up on winter :D. I'm insulating the garage door to help. I live near Charlotte, NC to give you a point of reference for temperature.

I have a couple of questions:

1) Will a dramatic shift in temperature affect the table poorly? It's a saunier-wilhem that looks like a brunswick anniversary and a solid table. Lets say it's 10 degrees outside and I turn on an oil filled space heater to warm it up before I go out there to play and then cut it off for the night would that be a good or bad idea? Should the heater be running at all times to keep it warm or should I leave the door open to the living room?

2) I read that the oil filled space heaters dont dry out the air and cause humidity shifts like other type sof heaters so I'm wondering if that's the best way in this situation to go about heating a garage or is there a better method that you can suggest?

If anyone has experience in this situation please let me know. I'm a little unsure of how to handle this the best way and what it'll do to the table.

Thanks!

I used to do this very thing,,,,,,,,,did not care much for the oil heater though,,,,,,,,I ended up putting in a good window unit AC for summer and a 5 brick gas heater for winter. Playing conditions will vary alittle just like anywhere else, but there were no adverse effects on the table itself..

Curious, did you pick that Saunier Wilhelm table over in Graham, NC about a week or so ago?

Be careful with burnng that oil heater because of carbon monoxide fumes.

It's one of those space heaters that doesnt burn oil so no fumes :)

Good I'm ok with changing conditions as long as it wont mess up my cloth, rails, or damage my table.

Regarding the table in Graham, NC I dont really know which that table was but heres the one I bought and I'm having 860HR Tour Blue put on it with new rail rubber.

the key is consistency.

try to keep the temp as close to "the same" as possible, whenever possible.
its the drastic ups and downs that warp things

Beautiful table there, looks alot like the old Brunswick Anniversaries,,,,,there was a SW on ebay a couple weeks back, 1950's era with a starting bid at $905,,,,,didn't know if you might have picked it up. I never looked to see if it sold or not.
 
What a beautiful table. You are one lucky guy. It will look terrific in Tournament Blue (my favorite color). I have the 860HR on my table and it plays great - you'll like it. Good luck.
 
You should consider putting in one of those ductless heat pumps in the room.

Nice find Chris! If you can locate a hotel going out of business you can pick up a used A/C - heat combo floor unit from them. A neighbor did that and had no issues as they are on thermostats and you can control your temp. I think he said his used unit (which looked new) ran about $500 installed.

Alright I insulated the garage door, placed the heater out there as best as possible and kept the door open to the living room. It was 29 degrees last night outside and it had no problem staying 70 degrees in the room. I lowered it to 65 because 70 just seemed too hot for me :) and the heater didnt have to run very often so looks like it'll be no problem! I was kinda concerned and trying to pre-plan everything, but looks like its gonna work out.

Heres the table in my empty undecorated garage :D
