    Something simple and useful? A welding finger. I'm sure others can post other pictures.

    If you have a dumb assistant who will "hold that right there" while you weld something, you don't need one. It keeps parts in place that would be difficult or too small to clamp.

    Won't gripe about being flashed.
    Won't hit you if you burn it.
    Never makes smart a$$ comments!

    Hey young welder,
    I thought this may stir your thought patterns for a really different, yet quite interesting project. In addition, it is very useful. I didn't make it. The pics were sent to me by my sister-in-law.
