Chill blocks and clamps, as well as welding in small stitches. The chilling and clamping may be tricky on a piece like that without making some custom blocks.
Though I notices your torch setup in the background. You're not welding like that are you? The pieces are all backwards.

And the pink cup is installed backwards too. It should thread into the gas lens, the lens threads into the torch, there should also be a white insulator between the lens/cup and torch head.tungstendipper wrote:Your gas lens is upside down.
