I have no idea how many laps I made around this stupid thing to obtain the proper welding positions. At one point yesterday when welding mounting tabs on the top which was flat on the floor I was running the foot pedal with right elbow while holding the torch and feeding rod with the left hand........goofy sport this TIG Welding is.

LOL...I kow how you feel....I use to duct tape the pedal to my foot when I get into the funky angle cages.
I always tell people when you are first learning how to tig, start off by mastering the finger wheel. The foot op stuff is almost natural.
