Default 110v line to 220v line?

Well, supposing I'm running a space heater (15 amps) on the black wire and
the bare wire. And running a hair dryer (14 amps) on the white wire and the
bare wire. That's 29amps in a bare piece of 12 ga.

How would you wire it differently?

Not if they're connected properly.
