Jamie, You should remove the tape from the cables and inspect for damage to the copper, if it is damaged you should have it repaired and taped up securely. Or replace the cables. This could be causing the overheating and melting you have observed.
As for the 220 volts outlet, you could run a 220 extendsion cord from you kitchen oven to the yard, but do not try to operate the stove and weld at the same time. Your cloths dryer is 220v also but usually only 30 amp. (this is not a good idea). You should have atleast 50 amp breaker.
