Whatever works for you but just remember not to put too many outlets
on one circuit. Up to 8 on 15 amps and 10 on 20 amp.


Does residential have limits on numbers of outlets on a circuit? I thought
that it didn't.

At any rate, those are good numbers to keep in mind.

In a shop, I think you don't want too many devices on the same run.
I think it goes without saying that you should be running 20 amp
circuits (12 gauge wire), doesn't it? Use 15 amp for the lighting.


If you know where the stationary tools are going to go, either put a
separate circuit for each tool or if you are going to be the only one
using the shop, a separate circuit for all the tools. Be sure to put
in 220 for any tools that can handle it.
