Guy at work is constantly talking about this now that its getting

this was people with the skills to do it. What would be the point of
asking office people for example how to do anything. We have acess to
steel sheet from 12 ga to 3/8 thick.
He can get slabs from his brother-in-laws sawmill and wants to run
hot water from the outside furnace into the house. Then use radiators
to warm up the place. I know that there is more to doing it than just
a box to get it very efficient and thought he should find a book on
how wood stoves are constructed. Anyone here with any experience at
this or wood stove construction? I think I remember that if you use
steel plate that it won't last as long as cast iron for some
reason. ??

You are talking about a "boiler" rather then a "stove". Normally
boilers are thought of as devices to produce steam but they can
equally well produce hot water and frequently are in businesses such
as the food processing industry that use quantities of hot water.
