Very nice Steve! Congratulations!
I sure wouldn't want to be the one driving the shed around the yard tho!
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.

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

Do you have a 6 gang switch plate?

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.
