Machine shed heat

[milomilo]

Picked up this wood stove a couple months ago to put in the machine shed for heat in the winter when I need to do dome lathe work. The pic shows the stove upside down as I needed to add an ash bin.

I had to break down and buy new steel, as I needed some 3/16" flat bar 6" wide. 8' of 3/16" X 6" was $28. The ash bin will have a door to pull out the ashes. The stove will be lifted off the floor about 40" on a angle iron frame, so no bending down to load it or clean out the ashes. The stove has a 8" flue.

The only additional work is to make and new smoke baffle as the old one was in bad shape and far to small at 8"X 8" square. Probably will be about 16" X 12". The stove is 24" deep and 20" wide.

So far this afternoon I got the 6" X 6" hole cut for the ashes to fall into the ash bin and cut the 3/16" FB to lengths.
