First of all, I have lots of experience with a wood heater in a home and some with a kerosent heater, but not with a combination. Now, motor oil does not burn without some outside source of heat. For example, if you have a brush pile that is burning good with a bed of red coals in there and a small(hopefully) amount of oil is added the oil will burn furiously. Oil by itself may be encouraged to burn with a propane torch, but it goes out when the heat source is removed. Remember I said motor oil, not kerosene or diesel.
As I understand it, a waste oil heater, that I have no experience with, uses compressed air to keep a forced air draft going. I've never studied plans for one. Now I have seen old mechanics with a SMALL pipe into the side of the wood burning stove to let oil drip on the fire. All that should be approached with extreme care and only a small supply of oil close to the heater. Maybe a little Googling is your best bet.
A good wood burning stove will heat that shop just fine.
