## Caption

freehand vs walking the cup — both have their place, but which one’s your go-to?

Freehand: great for tight spaces, more flexibility, and full control over your torch angle.
Walking the cup: smooth, consistent beads and less wrist strain on longer runs.

Tried both in this clip — now I wanna hear from the welders out there…
Which technique do you prefer and why? Drop it in the comments!
