Back in September my wife and I sold our weekend house. I couldn't sell my shop for a price that made it worthwhile, so I gave most of my tools to a good friend on extended loan. He's done some small woodworking and wants to do more. He has a huge, four-bay heated garage. He's got an unfinished apartment above the garage -- I can already picture trying to convince my wife that we should spend our vacations here.
I can't get over how much space there is. He's going to dedicate half the garage to the shop -- out to about where we're standing in the photo above. It's about 27' x 27'.
The primary question is where to install the 220 30 amp outlet(s) for the TS, BS and Jointer, and the 20 amp outlet for the DC.
Here is my rough plan for laying out the large tools:
Any suggestions on layout would be greatly appreciated. The floor is beautiful, flat concrete, so the BS, jointer, planer, etc., will be mobile.
We'll put a bunch of 15 amp outlets along the back wall by the miter station.
I thought about dropping one or two 30 amp outlets over the TS and the jointer/planer area. Would we be better off running a cable along the floor (with some protective cover) and putting a box on the floor near the tools?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
