Well, it will be expensive to add 3 phase to my garage.

The other option is a 'variable frequency drive', but converting single to three phase you need to oversize the VFD by 100%. (ex 1hp single phase motor would require a 2hp VFD) ABB ACH550 UH 04A6 2 AC HVAC Drive 4 6 Amp 3 Phase 0 500Hz | eBay

Also, you will be limited to 208v motor, so if you have a 480v 3phase motor you are out of luck.
How do you think, will this VFD work for my motor? https://www.mrosupply.com/motors/ac-motors/general-purpose-motors/26523_vm3546_baldor/
