That and a 220 outlet isn't hard to install. It's just one double or ganged breaker,
some 10-3 romex (red, black, white, ground), and a 220 outlet that will match your
equipment. Some go with the standard dryer 220 then adapt. 10gauge wire will
give you a service max of 30A. If your going to weld super heavy metal with
a stick you probably would want a 40A service (8 Gauge). Running, bending, and
connecting 8ga is a real pain in the ***. You need the largest wall box you can
fit.
Always run the primary outlet (220) first then sister off for any 110 outlets.

Installed one in the garage just in case I get a welder and paired it up with a
20A 110 outlet for the central heat and a 20A 110 GFCI outlet for running lamps,
weed wacker, leaf blower.
In all cases you should either get a construction permit (with inspection) or
have a licensed electrician do the work. I had an electrician I know pull the
permit and do the inspection.
