As a former welder and 45+ year veteran of construction and welding, I have to say that Shieldarc is well informed and does provide a wealth of information. His knowledge of the newest equipment is very good, I suppose mostly because it seems that he owns most of it. LOL

Not fetish, investment. Fetish has a negative conotation.
And I agree- I am an amateur welder, constantly learning through burning and reading. I belong to some welding forums, but get as much here.

Having a job that pays well enough to afford all the toys you want is the American dream. Nothing wrong with having a few "tools" to play with. Some day we all want to retire and by having bought all the stuff to play with already, then we can afford to play and have the time and toys to play with. If you wait till you are old and tired or retired to get your toys, then likely you wont ever get any and miss half of what life is all about. As they say, no one ever looks back and says I wish I had worked more rather than taken those vacations, or played with the kids etc etc.
