Oh, and a decently equipped woodworking shop setup in the garage for making cabinets for projects.

Do you like BLUE? (my favorite color)
I did a sweet portable AM/FM radio in Patriotic Blue a few years ago.
3/4 inch pine case, custom lighted dial and big assed speaker.

As if they ever listen...... anymore.
Now thats a radio! 
Did you do the electrical? I can critique it and the subpanel. I am good with calling out code violations. Not that I assume you'd be the one to do so.

Of course I did!
I design and build things with a "one-of-a-kind" design in mind.
And anything built with commercial designs or parts are modified by me to my stringent standards.
That blue radio kicks ass with nice tone quality, great reception, and runs for hundreds of hours on 6 "D" batteries, or AC adapter.

And here's a cool "Stereo" table radio that I made a couple of years go.
It's actually got twin mini woofers and tweeters in each side, angled outwards for impressive stereo seperation.
Flywheel tuning, custom lighted dial, and my trademark 3/4 inch cabinet.
I use it in my bedroom when I take a nap.

Post pics when you can, and the subpanel with the cover off.

You mean the rear panel?
Take a peak....
I hand craft the dials, even the numerals, design the LED lighting, and custom design the tuning mechs for silky-smooth operation.
It's tedious, sure, but the end result is so much better than mass-produced stuff.
No, the electric panel for the workshop. But that can wait.
Either way, I like the build quality of your radio. Impressive.

I'm not sure I'm understanding you Chet....
Do you mean the circuit breaker box?
It's the main one for the house, nothing specials - 20 breakers.
How many circuits to the shop?
I assumed you had installed a subpanel for the shop, never mind then.

3 breakers for various outlets, including my workbench, and 2 in the garage.
The shop/basement area doesn't need anything heavy, just the garage for the power tools.
Ah, ok, I see now.
I know some who run a 60 or 100 amp feed to their workshop and have a subpanel with a breaker for every other outlet. Those type of setups appeal to me.

In my mind I imagined a bunch of receptacles on a dedicated circuits underneath and across from the work bench.
But ultimately that would be me projecting my preferences onto you.
I have a thing for over-wired buildings.
For beginners lets just say if everyone were like me every other commercial building would have a NFPA 517 type 1 power system LOL.
