How a can I weld 2 parts together but allow them both to rotate freely?

I want to bind a part to the character's torso, but I want that part to be able to rotate on it's own without rotating the character. How can I do it?

I don't think you can use a regular weld, but Roblox has "Constraints" now that allow for parts to be connected, like Rope and Hinge Constraints. I haven't used these much, yet. JasonTheOwner 391 — 7y

I think you are talking about the rotate joint. You can set a position relative to the character, just like a weld, but it can rotate around a pivot.

You can use a BallSocketConstraint. Using the Create button in the Model tab of Studio, create two different attachments onto two different parts. Then create a Ball in Socket and click on the two attachments to create the BallSocketConstraint. When you run Studio, you will find that the two are joined, but rotating freely - even if both have CanCollide on.
