I'd probably give up my welder before I put a sub-panel in the house.. but yeah after I typed that I was looking at some tank builds to see what other people were doing.. Untamed has four dedicated circuits.

you can get duel breakers that are 2 breakers that fit into one slot, depending on your pannel manufacture, you can have up to 12 devices on a single breaker and you can load a single breaker to 80% of its load eg, 12A max on 15A breaker.
add up all the watts of your devices and divide by 120 and thats how many amps you will draw, so you need a breaker or breakers to fit that load.

Have 2 dedicated circuits and sharing on a third. Though none are maxed in either capacity or receptacles, advantage is they are independent and can turn off one part without effecting other for rewire or maintenance. Also since running GFI breakers (GFI receptacle on third) one can trip without crashing my whole system.
