I just have a 30' #10-3 extension cord that I run to my 220 volt tools as
I need them.


Did you purchase it as an extension cord or did you fabricate it yourself?
Do you protect it with anything? Flexible conduit?

I'm just a little squeamish of a high voltage cord on the floor of the
shop.

Good Lord, man....it's 220, not the transformer primary on the floor ;-).
If it was me, I'd consider just wiring another outlet on the same circuit.
