Hi Clifford and all. I had planned to draw power from the house panel. I'll consult my expert friend John Smith, yes, that's really his name, about what I need to do. I can usually get him to help me with such projects. He is a very good friend and we help each other a lot. Thanks to all who have offered advice and comments. I don't plan to put in any large power tools such as a table saw. I'll move my drill press to the shop and maybe get a grinder. Oh, yes and a small lathe of some kind. I still have all those messages everyone sent in response to my question about lathes.
