Consider running all your wires in metal conduit surface mounted on the interior walls. If you get your shop all wired up and the wires are buried in the walls, it will be a big deal to change anything later. I used OSB (oriented strand board) for the walls in my shop, so I can attach electrical boxes anywhere without worrying where the studs are. Bending metal conduit is simple once you get the hang of it. | Consider running all your wires in metal conduit surface mounted on the interior walls.

Don't forget though that electricity is very dangerous, and it is highly recommended that a qualified electrician does the work. It might seem costly now, but a life is worth much more. Remember that 120Volts will kill, as it only takes .06Amps of current through your heart to stop it. | Don't forget though that electricity is very dangerous, and it is highly recommended that a qualified electrician does the work.
