 Foot control Oxyfuel
Can anyone direct me to images/plans for a foot-controlled torch? I've been curious to see a design, but do not have the resources to tinker on one myself, though perhaps I will be motivated once I understand the concept. Thanks gang.

here's a video with one being used. YouTube - Makin' Steel BOO FULLresVid It doesn't start until 1:25 into the video. I'll try to find some other still pix of it, so you can see the whole stand. All you need to do is get one of those gas savers and make a stand for it so it can be foot operated. I used an old brake drum for base.
