If anyone reads this and is considering building a rotisserie stand to weld a fuselage stop and try this first.

Like sheep most people build a fuselage welding jig low, so you can sit. Including me. Out of frustration tonight I jacked it up about 6' in the air so my welding is done at eye level while standing. It was awesome. I'm already half way done or I'd change my jig but if I were to do it over again I'd hang that prick from the ceiling somehow and have fun welding it. It makes a big difference.

Anyhow, it's easy in life to just do what every one always does but don't, step.out of the box and find a way that works for you. One of the hallmarks of a good weld is to weld in a comfortable position.
