I would like to see more of the Pinkie to Thumb Collapse Technique [Stick Welding] with 1/8" 6010
It sounds easy, looks cool, but it's actually hard for me to do. My fingers keep getting in the way, idk.
I would like to see example of all positions in a single video.

That would be great. You don't actually have to run all the rods. I was just trying to figure out how to get my hands positioned right. I even took small clips of some of Jody's videos and tried to stitch them together, for my own benefit.
I saw him attach a pair of vise grips below, when he was welding vertical. That helped a lot. I just have to figure out this thing. I think he has the best finished welds and i would like to mimic his technique. He seems to have found the best way to do it. Anyone else with a better way should upload some videos for comparison.
Staring today, I have a new pair of soft contacts with a slightly different script, which I'll be trying.
