electrics 101: use # 12 wire in conduit, run up to 8 duplex recepticles off
one circuit in series, prefereably 20amp. use one neutral for every other
circuit, in order, as in one red feed one black feed to a common neutral,
ie: in alternating current the neutral can serve one circuit from each side
(cycle) at the same time because of the "alternating current". if you get
it wrong or get two circuits from the same phase the neutral will potentially
be overloaded and get hot. For the 220v compressor you can put a 220v
diconnect( box with pull switch)or just put a 220v recepticle (of the proper
amp rating) and unplug it, you could also use a circuit breaker as a
disconnect, preferably one with the two switches linked.
this relates in a way to the above( first part) as one ll0v leg from each
phase of the cycle added together =220v. hope this helps.

You might consider using some "plugmold" it is a strip of plugs about 6" on
center and it comes 6-8 ft long. goes great on the face of your workbench.
