Came up a bit short on 1" conduit so running into town to get a couple more sticks plus the requisite fasteners, couplings, etc... The shop had always been usable but it will be nice to have everything up to code and not worry about tripping breakers when working.
Improving the lighting too - when blacksmithing, you actually do not want that much light so you can observe the metal. When doing other operations, you want more light so wiring up the lighting to have three stages. Three large metal halide overhead lights (got these at an auction) for very bright illumination, fixtures over each workbench for mid-level lighting (already in place) and then a couple LED fixtures for dim lighting.
