Hello,  I'm encountering an interesting scenario that involves setting up a wood shop on site of a building renovation project.  I have a decent sized woodworking job to complete while being on the hook to renovate an older commercial building. I came to the conclusion that the only way to do both is for it to be under the one roof.  There's enough space in the building that I can occupy 1500 square feet or so of work space without really being in the way of the renovation.  The building has 220 service and 3 phase.  Both main panels are kind of rough, and I'm still working on getting the power back on.  The power has been off for awhile and it requires an inspection prior.  Heres's my dilemma.  More than likely this will be a 6-12 month temporary woodshop.  Once the building is presentable it will be available for lease.  I do own the building.  I found a group of nice Powermatic equipment from a local outfit downsizing, and plan to pick it up this week with the intention of re-selling it all after the project is finished.  The equipment consists of the 20" bandsaw, 20" planer, 8" jointer, 25" drum sander, 3520B lathe, and few others.  The equipment is 3 phase.  I'm not entirely sure what I will encounter trying to get the 3 phase service running on site, or if it even makes sense to mess with it versus just using the 220 service with a converter.  I do see the value of having both services active, and I know there's a possibility the next user of the space will want the 3 phase service.  I guess I'm looking for some advice for options in the event that I can't get the 3 phase powered up without major cost.  Considering this is a temporary shop, and wasn't intended really to be a shop.  Does anyone have a recommendation for how they would navigate this situation?  Beyond, of course the obvious that this may be a horrible idea and possibly end in sabotage of one job for the other.  Thanks, Steve
