For a complete rookie, like me, this was more helpful than you could imagine. Thanks!

And, if you don't have a giant steel table, then these types of helper tools can have an added copper or silicon-bronze stud added to the back end to put your ground lead clamp onto as well. What a great idea for holding smaller items. The "third hand" just might become a forth, fifth, and sixth hand in both my metal and wood shops in the near future. Thanks for the inspiration and "kick in the pants" needed to build more shop tools. Much appreciated!

I haven’t struck a single arc yet and I love this channel. You’re a good teacher.

I am not much of a welder, but when you figure that I learned to weld in 1960-61 when I was in high school, that I can weld at all give credit to my teacher. Your video shows that you enjoy what you do and that you try to help others when you can. GOOD ON YOU!

I wouldn't have thought of using a hole saw to cut the profile for that weld. Cool stuff.

Easy to follow presentation with a simple yet effective bending jig included. You included easy shop math, measuring tools and several other tools/equipment demonstrated. Thank you.

So cool to see someone build something that was just in their head. Nice work!

You should make more videos on in house custom tools, this was awesome!

Nice job. Would love to see Bob Moffatt back.

I’m only a hobbyist and because of disabilities I only do small jobs, so I think I was be scaling down a bit. However, that doesn’t take away from the value of the information and guidance, thank you.

Something about welding makes me so happy. When I flip my hood up it like an artist taking a good look at his art.

Love this site! I'm new to welding/fab work and I really like all the cool things you use in the craft. I'm learning a lot of tricks from you.

Very cool project. Soon I will retire and have more time to “play”... Thanks for sharing your skills with others..

When you need a heavier hand, I fill the pipe with sand before welding ends on, or make it from solid bar instead of pipe.

🙀absolutely brilliant I’m gonna make one tomorrow you rock

While its a video for making a third hand I really appricate some of the tips you gave while fabing this up. I always try to learn something new every day, can definitely take some of this knowledge to the shop with me. Thanks again for the content.

Even having a third hand for building these would have been handy. Nice build

Knowing what these were right away, I assumed that I'm not even close to needing this as I just start to learn. I watched the video anyway, and still learned something else tangential to the project, so glad I did. Thanks.

By the looks of this video, I obviously need more than that in my shop. This tool is the least of my worries.

I made my third hand from an big old 12 ton D-shackle and the end of a stainless sewage manhole cover hook. Welded the stainless to the D-shackle with 312 stick electrode with some preheat on the D-shackle.

Abom sized third hand!!! Awesome

Love that mark al pencil. I use magnets to tac only. But to each their own. Build them anyways. We all know. Theyll be that one day... Im glad a take care save and find new ideas like this. Nice! Im building them.

Awesome, I’m going to make one of these tomorrow!

I been glued to your videos for few hours how :) great videos and thank you for helping us out

Great video! Good combo of explanation and demo. And in the end... you get a good "helper tool".

Entertaining, yes. But mostly informative. Thank you.

Thank you for the great idea. I always learn something here.

Great vid, thanks for the upload!

This is a slick trick. I'm 67 and was a certified welder for over 20 years before becoming a quality engineer. Never saw one of these! I'll be making several of these different sizes over the winter. Well do sir!

Love your weld cap Devildog!

Thank you for sharing these two awesome helpers. Liked,shared. All my best.

Why is there always someone who has to be a jackass,and put thumbs down on informative information. Fabricator for over 40 years, and have built similar hold downs over the years. Basically because I never liked magnets, Arch interference is always there when placed to close. Teaching others is to be looked at as being commendable. Nice job in my book,

Just remember that the thumbs downs take many attempts, and much dribbling makes it harder, while they are distracted for almost half and hour it gives the carer a well earned break for a cup of tea.

Very Good video. I put both of these on my to do list for next week thanks....

Red beard you are my favorite instructor I’ve seen on here, funny thing is I watched your grinder safety video yesterday. Then watching you over hand that grinder 😂 . I get it I’ve been there I just wanted to give you a hard time

Good stuff! They are very practical helpers to have on hand. Thank you for sharing this.

Buddy of mine made a wooden one. His shop smelled nice when he tried to use it.

The beak. Yeah the beak 🤣🤣🤣. I'll have to try it before Christmas break.

great Idea, thank you, "need a tool, build a tool".

Very interesting , i’m a retired Woodworker who has been interested in learning more about metal fabrication i did work at a company for a short time that did both Architectual Woodworking and Metal builds most of their metalwork was in decorative Aluminum with some type of Wood accents i enjoyed learning more about metal since growing up i had only learned how to weld structurally but not necessarily decorative or pretty my Dads father,my Grandfather was a professional Welder untill they forced him to retire at 67 years old ? and he was very Artistic as well plus had some Machinist background in his past that was some of the reasons my Father didn’t have all the skills to teach me as when he and my Uncles needed something welded they dropped it off to my Grandfather to do

I know what my next diy build is gonna be! I need these for art projects. Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍

My table can use a third hand, but yours seems to need a third *arm*. Love the scale y'all work at.

I have a question. To me its very important too. Really can't wait to hear your answer. So here is the question. What camera are you using to film the whole thing and how come it has no issue with the TIG light?

You could use an off the shelf saddle washer or unistrut washer instead of making one from scratch. I know not everyone has those parts on hand, but they are cheap, easy to get, and save a little fan time. Thanks for the videos.

Love the bottle jack pipe bender!

On the second one I would weld the head of that bolt to the bent piece of metal. So it doesn't spin when trying to tighten the wing nut.

Who else watched the grinder safety video where it said to use both hands with the auxiliary handle....lol. just teasing you!! Thanks for the great informative videos...keep it up! Stay safe...Doc

Great video ! Thank you SIR.

Cool the perfect tool when you need a helper and the boss say sorry he busy cleaning my truck . But thanks for the video

Great video. Gonna have to make me these two.

Cool, never thought of a item like this but can see it would be very useful. I will be making some of those.

great video, I think I will make one for our shop, keep up the good work sir

Like how at 4:17 you attached 2 galvanized nuts to your pecker. That's the kind of craftsmanship I appreciate in our line of work.

Great scrap metal project for beginners or teaching kids how to weld.

No such thing as scrap :)

New to the channel, and the hold down's concept of the one fab'd from pipe just gave me a way to get use out of the treadmill frames setting around the scrap bend. Most have that same bend already, and only needs the adjustable "Pecker", (@@) ! Thx for the great idea's, Bear

Really nice he showed how to make one without welding. Now I can make one to use for my

Nice job Marine!

I APPRECIATE the video, I learned a lot. Thank you so much for explaining what you were doing as you did it. That allowed me to analyze WHAT and HOW you did things and later when I try to do something LIKE that, I can change it a little and build what I NEED. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I am going to build something like the second piece today. A SUGGESTION, BUILD IT SO THAT YOU CAN TWEAK THE ANGLE OF THE "FINGER". I hope my meaning is understood, instead of the of the force from the finger being at one angle it can be fine tuned to come from a slightly different angle.

I like it! Time to go the garage and build something.

I made my first one yesterday! Three large bolts and a bit of solid rod tacked together, I only need to sharpen the point!

I wish I seen these ideas when I was younger!

I liked the level V punch thing, bet that comes in handy...... Stocking filler for me!!!!

Awesome video. On that last 3rd hand it would be interesting to see how vertical you can get the point pressing straight down on the work. Maybe use an extension block off the bottom... possibly magnetise a third hand.

Pretty cool!! Thanks for sharing.

Great video!Clear and to the point!

Thank you very much for sharing.

Excellent video, very informative, no BS... Liked and Subscribed.

Excellent and well articulated vijeo!

Great projects! I thought there for a bit those projects were being built for the space shuttle with all the measurements you took. :-)

I don't know how to weld yet. But I think you're videos are very informative and interesting.

Dear Sir, nice video and a couple of innovative ideas to solve a problem that I didn’t know that I had. I do now because you answered why my welds with magnets holding the pieces together didn’t seem to run well. As you can guess, I am only a beginner with welding. I’ve done a bit of blacksmithing and love seeing you bend the cherry red metal like it was a piece of plasticene. Beautiful smooth curves and symmetrical results. Try doing that with cold metal, a hammer and a forming tool. Total mess. Cheers and all the best.

Hello, good evening, it's prefect idea bywas fabrication, I hopefully that's it is spectacular,

Great ideas and craftsmanship! 👍🏻

so much fancier than what i use. i just get an 8" piece of rebar, bend it in half, little more than 90 deg, then point another piece of rebar, bend the point 90 deg back about 2", then weld the 6" leg of the point piece to the apex of the bent piece.

Excellent video gents 💚

Nice work...you have taught me so much I didnt know I needed to know...thank you...i have one question regarding removing mill scale...what do you use and have you ever tried muriatic acid...I did with amazing results and it was so EASY!!..was wondering why you didn't....I guess that was two questions...thanks in advance for your reply and keep making these awesome and informative videos for noobs like me..✌

Good video and ideas. The first one requires flat clean surface at base or it would rock. Instead I would simply make a horseshoe fork out of 3/4 rod, weld a hook on it with a point at end. Also a vertical peg at top so a heavy metal weight (with hole) can be slipped onto the peg when additional weight needed at point.

When people make things look easy, it usually isn't.......great video! I'm definitely going to try to make one

I really like your style man. Great video. Super cool attitude & interesting content. Picked up some tricks.

can't tell you how many times I have used these doing welding since the early 70's, once you realize what a great thing they are you will never not have some. magnets have their place too. but you might go a week or more without using a magnet, but I used these 3rd hands almost every day

Nice project, well explained.

Love your work! I don't know how you all deal with the Imperial measurement system. Keep up the good work

What's funny is I fabed for over 40 years and never thought to build one nor needed one, and after I retired decided to build one out of 1/4 and 1/2 stock. kind of handy, but those are beasts.

Have had those for years, called a third finger. They are handy for sure. Solder some copper to the tip and base for better conductivity to help with grounding.

What type of Calculator is that? Looks very useful in dealing with measurements and Also what's the pipe center finder punch tool Thx 😎

Came for the third hand, learned a new coping method.

Thumbs up but only because of the music and the fact you had a Man Cub sticker on the vice.

Good video and wanted to mention if you want to center something really simple then just measure one side approximate where the end of the pipe meets your base and then duplicate that dimension on the other side. You don't have to worry about math and it will line up between the two marks and easily adjustable if you overshot the measurement. It is so fast once you try it you won't believe...

Thank you for sharing mate. Very nice work. Regards. 🇦🇺

Nice! Thank you.

Great stuff. Very clever. Thanks buddy.

Simply outstanding!👍👍

Word means being prejudiced against women. Not sure how that applies to the weld he was doing. Nice tool though. Own a fab/setup table that has adjustable movable clamps. If I didn’t have that I’d make me a couple of those.
