So I guess my main question is is should I use the 50 amp breaker or a 30 amp. I know that the 6 gauge wire will hold 50 amps, but if something goes wrong with the welder I would want the breaker to trip. I could always change out the breaker when and if I got a bigger welder. Am I thinking of...

Thanks for the input guys. I do already have the wire from another source. I was going to go ahead and run it so that I could hook up a stove to that circuit if I ever wanted to move some stuff around. I do some powder coating and need the oven. Thanks for the advice. Sent from my iPhone...

Ok. Thanks. The Hobart recommends a 30 amp breaker and has a 24amp input. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick question. I currently have a Hobart mig welder (210 MVP) and am currently wiring my newly constructed shop. I am wiring the 220 circuit. I know that it is way overkill to put in a 6/3 wire for my current welder, but I want to make sure that I have wire enough for future toys. Would a 6/3...

Good question Kevin. Not really sure other than I thought it would solidify everything a little more. I will have a front pad and that's why it is stopped a brick short. It may be a little while before I am able to pour it so I thought it would help with solidity. Sent from my iPhone using...

I also decided to put the roll up doors in myself. I picked them up from the manufacturer which saved me about $250 in shipping. Janus intl is about an hour away from the house. They are the 2500 series roll ups for anyone interested. They were relatively easy to install. Especially the second...

Working on the Brick now. Going to put cement board the rest of the way up on the sides.

Thanks Larry. I had planned to have a storage area up there and was planning on leaving the space open from the front after sheet rocking.

Started a new workshop a few months back. Have been taking is slowly so I can pay for it as I go. Have made decent progress so far. Front of shop will have a lift in it. Rear will be a/c and heat work shop. Would appreciate any insight and constructive criticism. Thanks

I just have some ideas right now, but am hoping to start soon on my new build. I have played around on the computer a bit to draw up some plans. I am no construction guru, but am hoping that you guys will give me some insite on any changes you would take into consideration. The enclosed part of...

Now theres a guy who does some work in his awesome garage!!! Very Nice!

You are my hero. Do you happen to need an adopted son to help you enjoy that build. Well done sir.
