Planning on putting up a garage this fall, that I will use primarily for a
woodworking shop. size is 24x32. 2 car garage with separate smaller
"workshop" extension. will probably use it for storage and finishing.
question is approximatly how much electricity should I use for the shop,
will probably have to have a subpanel from the main house, or might need
separate panel from the pole. any pro con for either. I have a table saw
and lots of hand held tools, but dust collection, air cleaner, and other
stationary tools are in the future. also how many outlets, how close
together etc. of course money is always an issue. will try and do alot of
wiring myself, with electrician doing the actual hookups. any help would
be greatly appreciated..

One other thing I saw posted before on the Wreck is to keep the
outlets a little over 4 ft off the floor so sheet stock leaning on the
wall doesn't cover them. Wish I had thought of that.
