And for us MIG guys, maybe a holster to hold the gun while you turn or reposition the welding area? I find myself just laying the MIG gun on my bench while I prep the next weld area. But when I'm welding on my pickup truck project a belt holster may be a item to consider.

There's those magnetic hooks that you can put in your table but I hate those

Yeah, my MIG gun doesn't have a belt hook on it (small 0.025" wire gun) so I may have to come up with something. But a magnet may not be the answer. Not sure a snap type gun hook would be any better. Maybe just a simple gun rest, because not having a hook on the gun means less interference when working in tight areas.

Would a tool belt harness that has a chest strap maybe work? Something like this...

You could attach a conventional rod bag to the cross ******** your chest. Might sit a little high though...

Know any leather workers? I have a buddy that does a lot of leather work and he made a sweet camera harness that kind of does what you are wanting but for a camera. I think a leather worker could make you what you are after and it should be durable enough to hold up to your steel working.

Archery quivers are for arrows that are 27-31” long typically. I have never seen a worn quiver for crossbow bolts. The quivers for them are usually 3-5 bolts mounted rack on the bow itself. Many hunting compound bows also have a bow mounted quiver. Only the competition bow shooters have hip quivers and the are unwieldy things I hate even on the line.

When you say “up there” I would assume you are welding up high and have a fall harness on? Back quiver will not work with that.

Yes, harness sometimes, but can still do back quiver over it or atlas sling it over my shoulder
