What's this "stove in the shop" concept about?
Aint'cha got a wood stove in yer shop? I think that's almost a requirement around here. Let's see we got a Fisher in the basement shop, an Orley in the other, and I think this winter we're gonna build a stove for the barn too. Ya gotsta do something or the refreshments is gonna freeze up. Then where would ya be?
Speaking of stoves in the shop, I'll cut and paste this from the firewood board. This may turn into the barn heater, who knows.

OK time for another project with the kiddos.
Please save all the insurance, emissions, EPA, wood eater, smoke dragons are evil, baby seals are gonna die, etc. type stuff.
This is just a plain ole fun project for the kids and me to tackle this winter as we have some time for it. May finish or it may finish next winter, we'll see how it goes.
Hodge podge away, mix match come up with something good. This may end up being the sit around the fire in the driveway stove for us. Or it may wind up busted down and reused in other projects later, who knows. It will not be put into service until and unless I deem it safe.
Here is what we have thought up so far:
Has to be a barrel, we found some 24" pipe, .375 walls. 5' long. Will have to be cut way down.
There has to be a cooking surface so, the kids would like to use heavy diamond plate for that.
That's it so far.
Leg, door, air intake, all the rest........ Any ideas? Creative is what we are after, re purposing is way cool, looks is a factor also.
We did find some how some place high temp pink paint, I was told this is a must have for this project.
What say the masses.
