Clamps
Just wondered what people used to clamp the metal before welding?
I have got a couple of those magnet right angle ones, but i know i need plenty more.
How many are needed/advised?
What size of clamps?
Are there any ones to stay well away from (i was thinking plastic ones as they may melt  )?

I prefer not to use the magnetic clamps- I find the magnetic field effects the splattering of the molten weld (which is ferrous and therefore
attracted to the magnets). Each to their own but I prefer normal welding clamps....

Welding clamp, Small 2" G Clamps, but also spring clamps, ones you see holding tarps on market stalls.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

G clamps of quick release clamps. got magnets but never used them - the magnetic field can also distort the arc.
