Jigantor,
Nice job and well documented.
Here is what I came up with after years of dropping my torch and breaking the ceramic nozzles. The last straw was about a year ago when I was doing a small stainless steel job for a friend. Since I didn't have a holder, I had gotten into the habit of putting the torch in my lap while I positioned the work between welds.
All was ok until I bumped my foot pedal while the torch was in my lap.............!
The holder is made of some 6al4v rod I had left from a sculpture.
It is 7/32" diam and I found a small piece of 1/8" titanium for the base.
Bolted to a cup magnet, it has saved my legs and other parts from hot tig burns.
