More skill with grinder than welder

First off, my torch holder, made from old PSA head bolts.
The next is a parasitic power meter. It requires a multimeter, but with a good one, it is waaaaay more accurate than the cheapo's. An old Makita NiCd charger was used as a casing. Plug on the back.
The hole of the led and the reset button were opened and two copper plates were placed here. An Ammeter will complete the circuit and one can measure the current used by for instance your TV in sleep mode. Every 4mA is roughly one watt.
The last is an addition to my welding gloves. This I got as a tip from my brother. This is my torch hand (I'm left handed). This makes it possible to place your torch hand on hot metal without burning yourself to shreds. The fingers are cut open for all the control in the world. The bit cut off can be used to support your rod hand if really required.
