Yes, no lack of available outlets
When cutting the opening in the OSB, my son wished I had waited and ran conduit and boxes on the surface.

[David Nelson1]

Actually that is what I did do.

[Frank Pratt]

A little late to be suggesting it now, but I used a Roto-Zip to cut out my outlets. My walls are 13/16 OSB so it was a little slow, but it cut out the boxes perfectly.

[Steve Kinnaird]

I have plenty more to cut out
The drill a hole and use the lig saw is working fine.
I have a template I use because they are all at the same height.

[Jack Jackson]

Just curious... are you noticing a significant "off-gassing", for lack of a better term, from that OSB? I'm doing the inside of my shop right now also and it's so bad I literally can't be in there without a respirator on or my nose starts burning. In there working for very long and even my clothes have the smell in them when I go back in the house. I was planning on painting but now I'm thinking I may need to seal it all with something better than just paint. You noticing anything like that?

Not getting anything like that.
OSB has been stacked in the workshop for about a month.
Been cutting out for outlets and switches this past week and nothing unusual. Just smells like saw dust.

[Jack Jackson]

Thinkin I must've gotten a really "fresh" batch. I transported it in my truck for the 20 mins it took to get home from Lowes and my truck interior even smelled foul for a few days. I'm just gonna let it air out for a while I guess.

I'm cutting out for outlets right now too.... the only downside to having lots of outlets? Having to cut out for each one....haha

[Steve Kinnaird]

Just a little more progress.
Fighting a cold

I typically only have one outlet per sheet of OSB - outlets are about on 4 foot centers. You seem to be closer to 2 foot centers! It's nice to have plenty and the cost isn't very significant. Looking good. I'm back to working on my shop for the moment. My wife got fed up with the mess my work creates in the house due to my demolish of the woodstove chimney. I hope to get the walls up before she is back to wanting me to work on the kitchen.

[Von Bickley]

Get that ceiling done and everything painted, then on to some shop cabinets.

The reason for all the outlets is that they are not all the same.
Most are just a 110v 20amp group of 5 or 6 outlets on a single 20amp breaker with 12-2 wire.
Some are a 110v 20amp on a dedicated 20amp breaker with 10-2 wire. These are for the main tools. RAS, Lathe, Jointer, Router Table, etc.
Some are 220v 20amp outlets on dedicated breakers with 102 wire. These are for the bandsaw and the table saw at this time.

I should NOT have a shortage of outlets

Getting closer every day.
