TIG Torch Hand - Rest

HFS

Well Known Member
I do a bit of TIG welding on smaller parts that sometimes are hard to find a suitable rest for me torch hand (I'm left handed - so the attached pics may "feel" backwards).

I used a magnetic base with a vertical round tube, that the horizontal square tube can be positioned to a location suitable for welding, up/down, forward/back. Made two "rests" - one for vertical welds (shown installed), one for horizontal welds that are close to the table (laying down in front).

YMMV - and probably will.

Great idea - thanks for sharing. Resting one's hand (or at least the forearm) on something is key to TIG for me, at least.
 
Great idea. I’ve made several different hand rests….. I like your idea better. I see one of these in my future….. thanks for sharing.
