[Woodworkers] New Shop

[Mike Hales via Woodworkers]

Well, after four years in our new home we finally got around to getting 
a shop building put up.
It's 20' X 28' slab-on-grade with  8' ceilings. Best we could do for the 
bucks.
I have natural gas and a 60-amp sub panel run to it from the house and 
(after some tribulations with the 'lectrical inspector over the trench 
being covered. Long story), we have passed inspections and are good to go.
Wondering if any of you all had suggestions as to wiring and heating 
options. I think I know how I want the layout to flow, with 20-amp 
circuits for the bigger tools and Cyclone, air compressor, etc. and 
15-amp circuits for the lighting and general bench receptacles.
I'm leaning towards an overhead garage heater (Hot Dawg type) in about 
the 50,000 BTU range with external combustion air so's I don't suck all 
that dust into the burners and such. Any opinions or alternatives along 
these lines would be appreciated?
What I'm really up against is my nemesis the Inspector. He started 
citing all kinds of "Class 2, Class 3 Combustible, dusty environment..." 
and other rigamarole, telling me I had to have dust collection hooked up 
to every damn tool I own. Finally, he left a note on the sub panel that 
we need a separate permit for the inside wiring (duh). I was going to do 
so, but this guy's going to have a bead on me every step of the way. Not 
very friendly to a home-owner do-it-your-self-er type like me, it seems. 
I think I'm going to need a bullet-proof plan to submit for the permit, 
or else just do it and hope it doesn't creep back later and bite me. 
Probably not a good idea...
I really want to do things right, but the budget says I need to do this 
myself. I can run wires and all that, I have a code-checker book (a 
little dated) and have run lots of Romex in my day, but getting the 
specs just right is a little daunting.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
