Some people have been looking for a "infinite axis torch stand" with out luck so I decided I'd post a way to make your own. First you need a bar clamp, then all you need to do is use a punch or drill to remove the pin holding the arm that is in a fixed position. Remove the arm, then remove the pin from below the adjustable arm, after that remove the handle that screws inward to clamp on what ever your working on. Now all you should have is the adjustable arm the spring and the bar. Then remove the base from your torch and place your torch stand on the bar where the pin that went into the fixed arm was located. Place the bolt through the stand and bar connecting the two, and tighten so the torch doesn't move around. Then bolt the adjustable arm to the bottom of your table (you can make this so you have it in a fixed position or add a couple of washers so you can rotate it). and your done. Now you have a adjustable torch stand that goes up and down rotates side to side and can be removed to be a hand torch.
