[Woodworkers] New Shop

[Mike Hales via Woodworkers]

Thanks 2Dave. I'm getting it dialed in pretty good now!

I am planning on two branches, one down each side and the deep boxes, 
already have a bunch of 'em. There will be a "dedicated" circuit in the 
ceiling right where the garage door opener would plug in. 
(Coincidentally, it's right above where my Table Saw, Jointer, band saw 
and planer are going to reside. ;-) )
