What about hanging a sub/pony panel in your garage and feeding it with 220v
and 3/8 in your conduit.

I'd like to be able to do that, but according to my Black and Decker
_Advanced Home Wiring_ only two 8 ga wires will fit in the conduit. I
wish that I could install bigger conduit, but I wouldn't be able to do
so until spring. It'd be nice to do a little woodworking now

The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits three 8ga wires in 1/2" conduit if
the insulation is type THHN or THWN. As I noted in another post, however, what
the NEC permits in a conduit, and what is physically practical to try to pull
through it, are two different things.
