Electrical receptacles for my work table

[Frank S]

Even Jane is now saying I need adult supervision in my shop.
I have been taking full advantage in a tween project time lately. Doing some much-needed housekeeping around the shop and adding a multitude of electrical outlets. I have extended this to include adding outlets on 1 of my worktables I am sick and tired of needing several extension cords strung all over the floor while working. They just seem to be in the way all of the time when moving something or at worst creating a tripping hazard when someone's feet get tangled in them.
This is one way I am solving that problem By adding a double duplex box on the legs at either end of the table then connecting it to the wall via a 3/4" non metalic flex conduit and a L6-30 twist-lock plug. Since I still have a dirt floor I can simply trench it in and bury it for now
And yes the first thing you might notice is I have the ground pins all located on the top. just the opposite of how most feel they should be. But I'll tell you my reasoning for doing this. Through out much of Europe and the Middle east the Earthing pin as they call it is located on top. Here we have these flimsy bladed plugs with a round ground pin when the ground is located on the bottom and someone steps on the cord the plug pulls out but the ground pin usually gets broken off mounted wrong way round the whole plug comes out and the ground pin does not get broken, another advantage to having the ground on top is if a cord happens to be partially loose and a chip or sliver of metal fall there it makes contact with the ground and not the line and the common. or in the case of a 240 connection both of the lines

With a little minor shaving of the clamp the conduit clamped in nicely
