Yup. One of the pics from my DIY cabfab.Lots of magnets and clamps. And mini-split so I can work whenever.
Love having a lots of magnet clamps, need more though
At my apprentice company they welded cow fencing for the neighboring firm (nowadays its outsourced to Poland) and they used such positioner to weld self feeding fence main posts. Just a high reduction industrial reduction with motor, a lathe three-jaw and a potentiometer to control the speed.I find a rotary positioner to be pretty handy for making nice welds around things

What welding table tools do I want? Anything that will allow me to catch a breeze, while keeping it away from my gas.

Maybe I need to invest more in arc welding. I prefer stick to flux, but I've seen a dedicated flux setup that wasn't trying to be some combo, flux/mig rig. I'm pretty sure that this was a flux/mig welder, but this one was always set up with flux wire, and it was easy to make a really good, and pretty weld with. It was an old Miller. But generally I find stick welding easier than getting a nice looking weld with flux. I'm a tool maker though, and welding isn't my best contribution to the trade.
