Lol
Sorry I didn’t look it up. I assumed it would be somewhat cheaper being on Kijiji !
Professional help is always recommended!
But
Should be able to get a 2nd 2pole breaker in there. But make sure it is in a spot that connects to two different busses.
Probably position 2&3. Opposite the compressor (6&7).
Fill in the single poles in the left over spots. Still not suppose to double lug the breakers or splice in the panel!
As for wire size, that is dictated by current (amps) not the volts. What size welder? Post a pic of the electrical rating plate. But the feed to your garage is your week link. Too big of welder you will trip the breaker feeding the whole garage. (40?) especially if your compressor starts up while your welding.
But you should be able to run a little mig pack on a 20 or 30 amp breaker with #10 wire. But your maxed out!
Pm me if you have more questions or want somebody licensed to do it for you.

-Wire your welding plug with # 10 on a 2 pole 30 maximum.
- should be ok, but maxed out with plasma and compressor running. Your helpers can’t be using a chop saw etc. While both running.
-don’t run the compressor when welding heavy material with your settings cranked. Or wait till it’s full. Lighter metals should be ok.
-The 40 amp breaker feeding your garage can legally be change out to a 50 if you confirm your wire feeding the garage is #8 or larger.

I would never have a shop without a press saves so much time when fixing toys and vehicles pressing bearings is a breeze found when you take a old bearing out keep the outer take it and grind off enough for it to slide back in so you can use it for the next bearing to seat it proper and it won’t stick just write on it where it came off
