    Since I screwed up and ordered the wrong damn pot for my pedal I
    decided to soldier on with the finger switch using a rest to slide the
    torch on . My problem with the finger switch is holding proper arc
    length - because of the location I can't get a firm grip . The rest
    worked out well , though I really need to practice . Didn't look too bad
    after I touched it up with a flap disc on the angle grinder . A coat of
    paint helps too .

    A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't.
