I find a good breathing cycle helps, much like shooting a rifle. A good few deep breaths to get your blood well oxygenated, then on the last deep breath exhale slowly then hold your breath half way through the exhale. This gives your body between 7-10 seconds of pure stillness. With practice you can get longer depending on how many tabs you smoke Perfect for getting those tricky welds in the corners without wobbling, especially if you can get your body "jammed" into a good position ie both hands on torch, both elbows on bench and waist tight against bench.
