Welders 3rd hand

What happens here

The creator puts on his auto-darkening welding helmet and welding gloves. He then positions a bolt head against one end of the bent round bar and uses a TIG welder to tack weld it securely. After welding, he demonstrates the strength of the weld by attempting to bend the joined pieces, confirming a solid connection. This bolt forms a stable base for the third hand to rest on a surface.

Goal: Attach a stable base to the main rod

Tools and materials

  • Bent Round Bar — The main arm of the third hand, Bolt (for base) Unknown

Arc Captain with its 180° view is absolutely insane. It's like my go-to helmet for TIG welding, grind mode, adjustability, light on the front. It's perfect. We can tack these two up, so let's get them tacked up. All right, I'm just going to tack this up and then adjust as necessary. Now that I got it tacked up, I'm going to go ahead and just run a bead.
