X53Gunner, what did you use when running the pipe through your wall? Pre-made section of pipe or did you make something? I'm about to install a vogelzang kit, and I too have plywood walls.

I'm not in a hurry. I have multiple other places I could just take my projects to get welded, mostly friends' shops, but I'd rather do it myself in my own garage, that's half the fun of it. The welder will mostly be used for custom bikes. Again, thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the advice CNGsaves. You all have me leaning towards the professional route, as I will be installing an overhead heater in the future, and would like to get my hands on a lathe. The whole reason I have this dilemma is that I picked up the welder for basically free, so I'm trying to...

Okay thank you. I originally searched "How to run 220 V to garage" and got absolutely nothing. I now see that all of the words except 'garage' weren't counted in the search because they were too vague.

Thanks for the help.

Also, you should know, the only reason I want to do this is to run an Arc Welder I picked up for VERY cheap. So, that said, would it be feasible/cost-effective to just purchase one of these and use it instead? I believe I've read that 5000 watts would be enough, or would I need to go to the next...

Hi guys, I believe this is my first post here and I don't know much about navigating this forum yet. My question is, is there any good step-by-step instructional on how to run 220 to a detached garage? Don't currently have 220 in the house either. I'm guessing this topic has been beat into the...
