Run a heavy cable to the workshop and install a sub-panel in the workshop to
feed each circuit that you require.

Thanks Nate, do you have any recomendations as to wire size,and or breaker
amps. The main panel is about 100ft. from shop area.

rated @ 20amp. also would like to add overhead flurosent light, run

to go.
Thanks Woody2

For a workshop area, I would plan on having several spare 20A breakers
available for installation of outlets etc. the more circuits the better
just in case you end up having a helper working in there with you and
you end up using two or more appliances simultaneously.

I'd keep the lighting separate from the receps. because eventually you
will trip a breaker no matter how well you plan, and it sucks finding
the door in the dark.

good luck
