one foot for the "gas pedal"
and the other foot (if your welding pipe) to run the speed of the positioner..

A local repair shop has been holding welding classes for the past year on and off. I finally got on the list for their Oct class. It's only $25 for supplies. I'm excited. And my friend's dad just bought a kick-butt welder. I dont know a lot about it but I know you put it on a trailer.
