I am going to a trade show soon.
I have wanted to get my TIG fingers into local welding supplies for a while now but didn’t really know how to go about doing that so I am hoping that attending a this trade show will give me some insights.
So what I am doing in this video is making a prototype of a Point of purchase display for that show.
My plan is to take this prototype into my local welding supply and get their feedback on it..
Is it too big? Too small? Would they put this display on their counter? Etc.
I would probably get some props like wood blocks for a job like this but since its a point of purchase display for TIG fingers, I will use a tig finger to prop for all the welds.
Well after I finished this, I drove to my preferred local welding supply which is Holston gases.
They were very helpful and gave me some constructive criticism as well as some contact info for their main buyer in Knoxville Tenn.
One of the suggestions was to make it a bit smaller.
So stay tuned for that video and I will keep you posted on my progress on getting my TIG fingers into local welding supply stores.

Problem with the tig finger is that once you start using it, you can't work without it.
Definitely 100 percent 👊🏻
True👍🏻
Help me understand. Please
@@ederson7s the Tig finger works so well that you want to use it every time you Tig weld something
Another Great Video !!
I have two tig fingers, I would not be without them after having used them !
Thank you for your great product, and for all of your great instructional videos !! 🤗
As a welding instructor ... GOAT!
I’ve got several TIG fingers they work great welding up just about anything / any position ! Thanks for all the years of videos Mr Jody 🫵🏼🤙🏼
thank you
He's right about weld inspections. Take me into a boat dealership and I can't leave until I look at all the welds. lol I never used to be this way until I learned how to tig aluminum.
And don't forget those aluminum dump truck bodys
😂 It's not just the aluminum. I have to inspect and identify every weld and welding process, and have to point out to my guys what was done, and how well.
I had to laugh while you were doing this. At 75 there is never enough light or magnification! I also laughed because I work at an engineering college and I continually get dxf files for "boxes" that consist of 6 rectangals with little thought given to bending and saving weld time (yes, in your case it is to showcase the welds). Keep pumping out these videos Jodi as you have done more to promote welding than Miller, Lincoln, Esab etc!
Of alllvthee specialty welding supplies I've purchased, the TIG FINGER has helped me be most productive.
Thanks Bx NYC
Thank you 🙏
The only downside to the TIG Finger is that every time one of your buddy’s who also welds comes by, your TF goes missing 😤 Mine have lasted forever and work as well today as they did years ago when purchased. A top shelf product!
Doing retail for 8 years now my first thought was also going smaller with it
I would also have the bottom inside be tapered, possibly fillet weld a slanted bottom shelf, that way the product laying down could look displayed as well without just looking like a dump bin
Having dividers would lend to easier inventorying the different sizes.
Depending on how fast the retailer is selling these peghooks also take more time to stock. But if they liked the pegs having the peghook welded on instead of loose is a BIG bonus (keeps them from getting lifted out of wack) just remember to ball off the end of the hook, this could also be an area to display a weld
Another great area would be lap welding a plaque on that would show the price tag at the base, the only trick with that is some retailers use different tagging sizes.
Still loving the content! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great info
Excellent demonstration. Thank you!
I ran into your channel and podcast (I'm only on episode 28). Recently picked up Tig as a hobby. The only regret I have is not buying the Tig Finger as a bundle deal. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
I already have your TIG fingers in our welding supply! 😁
Nice project! I used my TIG finger about an hour ago. They’re also great when you have to push on sheet metal right where you’re tacking and you don’t want one finger of your glove to become a raisin.
My local welding supply shop stock them in the UK. Oxford Welding Supplies. Must have bought about 10 of them for myself over the years. Don’t weld without one and always have a new spare on me. Recently got my company to buy a load in to stock in the cupboard for all the other welders in the shop. Amazing product!
Funny thing is I have both tig fingers but I forget they're there and by the time I remember I'm mostly done with what I would use them for!
Yep, you want it just big enough to frame the product and allow the customer to pull the product with no frustration. This causes the display to both look full, which triggers a subconscious perception of abundance in the store and has a minimal footprint ...every inch of the store being expensive real eastate....thanks again Jody...hope you and yours are doin great.
Just pulled the trigger on a TIG Finger myself, won't be using it for a couple of days but I boiled a pot of water and pressed my hand against the wall of the pot while wearing it, didn't feel a thing after about a minute or so of shoving my hand into the wall of the pot until my wrist had tremors. Released pressure after realizing that if I wasn't feeling it after over a minute, the pot would've cooled down by the time the heat would finally transfer to my hand. Fantastic product, looking forward to spoiling myself for aluminum and stainless work.
Love the tig finger great for overhead stick welding
My first order from your store came with a free tig finger. Thank you.
Same!
Awesome Jody. Just picked up two, totally changes everything on pipe and in general! Thanks for all the lessons over the years
Loved listening to your podcast, I wish new ones were out.
*_I got my tig finger a WHILE BACK. Saves the day, that's for sure._*
Hello, great Video. Greetings from Austris 👋
Great idea with the display case Jody...years ago as you prbably remember Marquette, Forney, Harris ect, welding had display cases of rods and accesories in just about all the welding supply and auto parts stores with great success. I have both size TIG'Fnrs, used them at work and my home shop with great results SAVED a lot of gloves and fingers lol!
Jody, been using the Tig Finger for the past nine years. It’s a little ugly and dirty now, but still keeps my finger cool and glides along helping me produce a proper “prop”
Truth, if I don’t have it on when I’m doing Tig, my hand feels bare, and I gotta grab it!
Hoping this takes off in shops like a rocket. 👍👍
Excellent product!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great looking display rack Jody. Great product too and you placed a great weld where it would be seen. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Use the tig finger all the time!
I can't remember when I bought my Tig Fingers, but they're one of the most useful accessories I ever bought. They've been a lifesaver on TIG, but they're also really nice to have for those long runs with MIG. They make great practical gifts as well.
Always amazed at your arc shots, I don't know how you do it.
Even back when Jody was getting started on the 'tube, they were the best thing around. He has been doing it well for a really long time. I've done some streaming and videos for training, and once you dive in to cinematography, it gets complex fast. It's a skill all it's own, and will make or break a channel with content like this. His videos being no-nonsense and straight to the point, with no stupid 30 second intro, definitely helps.
Love my tig finger and everything else I got from you !
Thank you for all the help you provide for the community. Could you make a video about millscale? When to clean it, when you shouldt, what the effects are on a weld?
I just recently ordered a ck #18 torch with the leather protector and a aluminum stubby kit from weldmonger about 2 weeks ago.
I love the kit and the torch thanks for getting it out quickly, and I LOVE the xl tig finger been havin that for about a year now
Jody, I suggest having your parts laser cut and punch some decorative holes in your aluminum case, and use dimple dies on them like you see in Motorsports. Guys start drooling when they see dimple dies and TIG welding, trust me.
Good
I love the clear cups.
I love them until I drop one. 😂
Tig Finger is great ,I picked one up at our local welding supplier,I thought I try that for twenny bucks can't go wrong, I dont need it every day but those are sure Handy
Love using your tig fingers i have a few of them i bought from suppliers here in Australia who stock your product
Love the display idea Jody awesome video as always.🔥 I wouldn’t even touch aluminum without a Tig finger use them for everything. Also helps keep your gloves from shrinking from the heat 😂. Don’t know if it’s possible but if you can try selling them at places like northern tool and maybe harbor freight maybe smaller time people may see it there 🤷♂️ probably harder to get them to sell products though
Should add a picture of a burnt up thick leather glove or something. I praise the tig finger xl and I would have a tough time welding aluminum pipe/tube without it, me and my knuckles thank you.
If you get the stock lasercut w/ weldmonger branding/piercework, it is less likely to get repurposed for other products. good luck!
Grace à toi,j'utilise ce TIG FINGER depuis longtemps
Merci pour ce rappel
Thanks Jody
Es un chingón maestro saludos desde México.
Hey Jody, is it possible for a video on 6061 material less than .040 groove weld to simulate crack repair?
Plus if it’s cold out and you are driving and someone cuts you off, no problem! Keep your finger nice and warm! Give ‘em the Tig Finger! 😁
Would it not be better to bring out a pair of gloves with the little fingers made from tig finger material. (Built in tig finger)
Would be cool to see a video welding austenitic stainless with a blend of hydrogen and argon. I've never seen the effects of it.
Great suggestion!
What number cup did you use and did you use a gas lens as I remember in the past you liked to use a number 5 non gas lens
#7 pro cup from furick with gas lens. I do like a collet body #5 sometimes too but this cup lets me extend the tungsten to get the cup out of the way for filming
What were your machine settings for this?
Can they be purchased overseas? Europe here ;)
Yes weldmongerstore.com/
Jody, Where’s JD Brewer at? I miss the videos with you 2 working together. Hope he is ok.
JD is good. He is busy on his business but is still working with me on welderskills.com and still doing podcasts with me there
@@weldingtipsandtricks Thank you for the reply! I’m glad he is good and busy. I’ll check out the welderskills.
Oh geez, you lost me at "Holston"...
If you don’t have a tig finger, are you even a welder bro?
🫵🫵💪💪👍🫡
COOL!
🔥👊
Love the Tig Fingers! Nice display too Jody! It would be great to sell them locally! I’d love to see them on the shelf here @puritycylindergas !!!
Thank you. Please email info@weldmonger.com and we will make it happen
Tig finger's are the way lol not a paid comment just a user with great results 🫡
I use a chinese copy of this product since you cant buy this in New Zealand.
Definitely helps welding aluminium
Would definitely buy the real deal if i could get one locally. 👍🚥
Good
