I made this tig torch holder so that I could move it around my welding bench. Now my holder is where I need it. I built it out of scrap metal, and added a couple of magnats, and kick stand, so that it wold stay up. Tig welded with my Maxstar 200 DX. Here are a few pictures.
I used your idea and made one of my own. Back caps are broken a lot at our welding school because students hang the torch by the back cap. I deviated a bit and used available materials for the magnets. I used the magnets that attach to business cards and a heavy base plate. Our TIG torches are scratch start so I put a piece of PVC as a liner to prevent inadvertent arcing. My instructor didn't like that and found a piece of ceramic that just fits into the metal tube and supports the tip.
