Nice rig! The price isn't too bad either if you plan on scaling up production! I have no ide if this would work but, if it can, it might save you a lot of time! Could you load a rod with open rings and then turn the welder on its' side and hold the rod in front of it and use your pliers to grab the rings and push them against the electrodes one after the other down the rod and when done, load the second rings on the first and load the rod again and repeat with the new rings that are hanging of the first rings and so forth until you get a sheet of mail? Don't know if that made sense but, it did in my head.
Ooh, ooh! Have a rod with a groove lengthwise and insert a thin strip of metal so when you slide the first rings on, they will have the gap lined-up on the strip and then you scoot them down and off as you weld them! Clear as mud?
