Tig torch...

Im glad I learned with no pedal.
When your laying on your back woth the torch overhed its hard to work the pedal...

I also think the pedal is a "crutch" for some folks.

When I use the Tig in a comfy standing position I use the pedal and move the torch.
Would indeed be difficult to use a go pedal while on your back....

I just prop the pedal up against one of the jack-stands. In the old days, before auto-darkening lenses, it was a bit more difficult.
The few times I have messed around with the tig machine I struggled with the angle of the pedal....thanks for the tip
