No #14 wire for you!
That's for the stereo system.
Exactly!
I had to add my 220V higher-capacity circuit for my machines. I just went in steel conduit (because I had a bunch left over from my wall tent frame) on the outside of the walls. It'd be more better to just do it inside the walls from the get go. However the cost of higher-amp wire and fixtures make many guys cheap out and de-rate to a step below what they should have used. In my misspent years as a realtor I saw lots of shop wiring called out as marginal or worse... just go large here IMHO.
