Sorry for the delay w more information. So I think I figured it out. The loads would be an electric oven I promised my daughter I would put in the outdoor kitchen addition, the other would be a small wire feed welder I have promised myself. I assumed the welder would need a 3/8 wire because it was 220V however it does not require that much power. I can feed it w an existing 2/10 wire that I had already ran and this will be the only load on this circuit. As suggested I can utilize a double/piggy-back to free up 2 spaces in the main panel by combining a plug that only powers my sprinkler controller w another circuit. This will allow me a short run to the outdoor kitchen oven w about 15ft. of 3/8 w a dedicated circuit breaker for it as well.

As an aside I was hesitant to ask this question here because I really wasn’t sure what I was asking and I knew you guys would immediately know how to solve but would have 10 more questions that I wasn’t sure I could answer. I can hold my own in a lot of garage related topics but I am a moron when it comes to electrical because I am terrified of it. I appreciate the feedback. I now know that I love the idea of a double pole-double throw switch and I am trying to find a reason to use one. I’ll post pictures on the appropriate thread once I am a bit closer to being done w my project.
