THE SAGA CONTINUES...
So I went to Lowes to find a 6 GA wire in hopes of fishing it through my conduit. I got there and found that they had none. The guy I worked with was super nice. He told me that if I brought back the 6/2 wire I had bought that they would refund me and sell me the 6/3 wire that I should have got to begin with.
So I pulled up the 6/2 and laid down 6/3 this weekend. All I have left to do is connect it to my home's fuse box and test it all out. The shop is very small, so I only 4 outlets wired for 20 amps each. That will cover my larger machines, the smaller hand tools I'll plug into a power strip. Also put in a 15 amp breaker for the overhead lights.
I'll have to say, 6/3 cable is one stiff son of a gun to work with. My hands are sore from working with it, but it should carry 50 amps to my shed with little loss of power.
