Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

Well that is how I have envisioned the original idea of the stinger holder/rest. It can be moved, rotated and adjusted to the desired length and I'm happy with the outcome/result.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

And the other part, the Tig torch holder/rest, I made it very simple since I presume or guessing that it is not that heavy compared to the other torches.

And here are pics of my built and adaptation:

Got a piece of SS flat bar of about 2" X 6", made a bend of 1" in one end where I will weld the two SS rods. Also cut two pieces of SS rods measuring 4 1/2" X 8 mm. These rods will catch the Tig torch. Also made a long cut in the middle of the flat bar and this is where the small bolt will be inserted to serve as its adjuster and to keep it in place.

And this is where it will go :

This piece of flat circle shaped SS will serve as some sort of a landing for the adjustable Tig torch holder/rest.

The rest plate can be moved backwards or forward by just adjusting the fabricated eyelet knob.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

Adjustable, movable and can be re-positioned at any angle.

Which ever direction or angle I might prefer, it can be adjusted and re-positioned with ease.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

Oh by the way, I have to make these also so I can easily adjust the torch holder/rest easily and to make the eyelet knobs look uniform. Here I learned that SS rods are so tough to bend compared to ordinary mild steel rod.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

I would just like to make some additional pics for the Mig torch holder.

This holder can be raised or lowered or it can be rotated 360 degrees. By just loosening the eyelet knob and re-positioning it at any desired direction.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

The main body or skeleton without the three attachments.

I added this one so it will not look so boring and ordinary for me.

And with the complete attachments for Stick, Tig, and Mig torches/stinger.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

And here are pics of the total project in different angles and sort of floating mode.

OK, that's it and thanks for viewing the project.

Re: DIY 3 in 1 Stinger & Torch Holder/Stand

Thanks bugel,

hehehe, a very simple idea only for the stick ( stinger ) holder that got a bit complicated with the addition of the other torch holder support.

Anyway I did enjoy making the project and loved the outcome. Now the other two attachment will for sure remind me always of getting a Mig and a Tig welder so it will be useful. That's what you may simply call as self " KULAM ",LOL :jawdrop: :borg1: :dog:
