I agree 100%. I have wired many many shops for people. Commercial and residential. (I am a journeyman electrician by the way). I never install anything less than a 20 amp circuit. 15 amp may get by, but it’s not any more work to put in 20 amp circuits, so go for the 20. A little extra cost in wire but it’s worth it. Put plenty of circuits in for tools, a refrigerator, and just in case you like to have get togethers, roaster pans use some juice! Good luck with your project!
Your rafters have no tails?? And the top plate is the exterior rafter tie?
How do you plan to deal with roof runoff to get it away from the footings?
No snow load in your area looking at the spacing too.
Watching your build, that's about the size I'd like to end up with.

Pretty typical pole barn construction around here. We don't get much snow pack in the valley, just a few inches at a time. I'll either add gutters or I won't. Surprising number that don't have them around here -- my last house didn't. We really don't get much rain either. It's high desert and the only reason things grow is all the irrigation.
Pintos could explode if rear-ended...the gas tanks would split open. Sounds like new cars can throw a small fireball if you plow into somebody just right...
Well I'm jealous! Congrats man, that looks like a really awesome setup. I agree 100% on the 20A breakers. I don't have 240V in my garage but I have the outlets wired on 3 separate 20 amp breakers and I've never have any trouble tripping breakers.
So, when is the Pole Barn Warming Party? 😀
Maybe I could get my Takata airbag replaced at the same time!

I heard he booked the Miller Lite girls and he was flying us all in on his dime! What a guy, I'll tell ya!
I'd suffer thru miller lite, just for him.. 😏
Actually, it sounds like something I would do if I hit the lottery.
