[Woodcarver] Merry CHRISTmas until 2017!!!

[DickFaulkner]

Thanks for your good suggestions.  The shop is "as big as my wife will 
tolerate" 28' x 30',  I wanted to go to 40' but that is a little large 
for the back yard.  I do like the idea of putting in quad outlets and 
will put in large enough wiring and breakers, the old shop sometimes 
popped a breaker when the radial arm saw was cutting something big.
