A little tough with that budget. Maybe build a small (one bay) free-standing room out of rigid foam insulation and heat with a space heater?

I usually keep my shop around 60F, which is a comfortable temp for most work if I’m moving around, but if I’m standing still (like at the lathe) for very long, I get cold. So to heat a small area (like at the lathe), I’ll hang up my heat gun a few feet away so it will blow right on my work area. Those things put out a lot of heat!
