Instead of an actual oven I've made a couple of welding rod storage units. The first one was based on a piece of bakery equipment that was designed to keep bread/rolls/etc warm. It was an insulated cabinet on wheels to which I added a single lamp bulb socket in the bottom and used a 200 watt light bulb.
The second one was an non-insulated wall mount tool cabinet to which I simply added a 200 watt light bulb.
I've seen others made from old/non-working refrigerators again with a 200 watt light bulb in the bottom and a slice of the rubber door seal removed at the top & bottom of the door for air circulation. BTW the wire shelves in a refrigerator work well to circulate the hot air, or you could just install a computer with the metalworkingfun forum up & running. :)
