Not to worry Mick, the walls aren't getting closed up anytime soon. I've got plenty of time to get the electric sorted out. I plan to run probably about 100 amp sub-panel to the garage. That should be more than adequate for several 240V circuits for the welder, compressor, and maybe a lift (11' ceiling).

As for woodworking, I will probably only go with portable dust collection. I only intend to have my panel saw, and maybe a large sander out there some day. The rest of the woodworking shop stays in the basement. I do wish I had kept the Jet 1200 dust collector that I sold a few years ago when I upgraded to the cyclone.

Let me know if it works, this was my first. I really had to edit it down to fit it in to the allowed 10 minutes.
