    He is quite the pro at driving the "Mule". He made it look like anyone could do it.

    Had a little time tonight to get the electrical outlet boxes mounted.
    I still need to pick up 6 dual outlet (4) boxes tomorrow.
    Also removed the interior shear braces. The OSB will add all the shear bracing back it.
    Hope to get the Sub-Panel mounted tomorrow and get most of the 12/2 wiring done.

    Never seen that many outlets on a wall that length. Do you think you have enough. I think I saw 2 or 3 studs that don't have one.

    Just kidding....... Now pull some wire and get it powered up........ Looking GOOD......

    Got all of the 15AMP & 20AMP boxes wired tonight.
    Need to pick up some 10/2 wire for the 220v 20AMP boxes and the 120v 20AMP boxes for the bigger machines like the DC, RAS, Compressor & Router Table.

    Sub-Panel Mounter and the 15 & 20 AMP wires installed to their breaker.

    Got more wiring done tonight.
    Ran all of the 10/2 wire for the 20amp 220v outlets and dedicated 20amp 120v outlets for the machines.
    Got the 6 gang box assembled, mounted and grounded for the switched.
    Still need to put a floor outlet in for the table saw.
    Hoping I can switch the Delta Contractor Saw to 20amp 220v. Can't get to it right now. It is buried in the garage

    Not understanding why 10/2 for 120v? 12ga is 20amp. 10ga is 30amp. Why would you run 10ga for anything 120v? Just asking as I am in my wall wiring plans now.
    Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

    I ran a dedicated line of 10/2 - 120v for my Dust Collector, Air Compressor, Lathe, RAS & Router Table.
    No specific reason, but if I ever upgrade those machines and need a 30amp line, I am all set.

    Ok that makes sense - future proof of those boxes to change to 30amp 220v in the future if you ever want to. Thank you.

    Yes, I do.
    Also have a 5 gang switch cover that they shipped me by mistake. Not worth the cost of shipping to return.

    Here is the link, they are very reasonably prices ........... http://www.deepsurplus.com/

    Looking good Steve! Enjoy the process. I remember a similar level of excitement when my shop was going up.

    One thing I haven't seen mentioned; do you plan to put protective plates on the face of the studs at all locations where wire runs through them? Minimal cost for protection against a screw or nail hitting a line inside the wall.

    John, I didn't plan on adding the plates. 1" holes are drilled slightly off center to the back of the stud. But after giving it some thought, I think you're right. I should add them. If I am adding shelves or cabinets, I might be looking for extra long screws to make it as sure as possible. Will I remember exactly where each wire run is, probably not
    Thanks for asking, it only makes sense to be on the cautious side and be safe.
