    Feeder type confirmation

    Powering a new to me shop, 100a service. Power will feed from outside main breaker panel on opposite end of house. I would prefer not to trench as there are a lot of older trees in a very small yard and don't want to harm the root systems. So my rough plan was to go under the house (crawlspace)...

    Combine 2 existing 110v circuits for 110/220?

    Just bought a lathe that looks like it will require a 1-2 hp 220 VFD. The breaker panel in the shop is full, but not over capacity as I tend to only use one device at a time, plus a few residuals. I have 2 options I can think of to get power to it 1. Tap into existing overhead run to table saw...

    Back in college I built a welding table. Frame was angle and 2x2 square tubing, put a shelf on the bottom, clamped a vise on it and was happy. Except the top, it was made from a double layer 1/8" that was a scrap flatbed from a truck my roommate bought. I don't know if it was already...

    Questionable wiring

    Tracing down breakers to label them in my house and ran across some questionable wiring. Is this legit? Circuit panel has a 14-3 cable running in. Ground and neutral are normal. Black goes to one 15a breaker, red to another non-connected 15a breaker. Run to a switch box. One hot then runs...
