All input is appreciated! Well, let's see...where to start....
First off I proposed to my mate on Christmas 2011 with "Crazy Girl" by the Eli Young band playing in the background. She said yes and made me the happiest man I have ever been. I spent a chunk of money on the engagement ring and wedding bands at the jewelry store downtown. We moved to a new house shortly after due to our neighbors at the time. We are now settled in to our new house, but we still have things packed up and stacked up everywhere.
Then, in April 2012, we tried for a pup and succeeded. I will be the happy (but nervous) father of our little cub, who we are expecting to come around December 9th. Preferably NOT during a snowstorm. If that happens, we will not be going to the hospital. We will call an ambulance instead. I wouldn't be able to drive in that kind of weather knowing my fiancé is in labor and wouldn't risk driving on icy roads anyway.
Lastly, I got a complete welding set for Christmas of 2011, which includes a stationary welder (220V), a portable welder (110V), a plasma cutter (110V), and an auto-darkening welding helmet, and will be making my own metal/yard art after we get our shed cleaned out a little more. We have the shed wired, but there just isn't enough room for me to work at the moment. I will be taking small custom orders, as I am not very skilled as of yet. As I become more skilled and more confident, I will take bigger custom orders.
I won't be on FA every day like I used to. I will be on 4 days a week at most. Though I will always be a proud furry, these things are important and come before the fandom.

Did you get both Mig welders or a Mig and Tig? And Miller? Lincon... who make?
Hmmmm.. material usually isnt cheap. Check out the local welding/fab shops. My boss has a WALL of offcuts (leftovers and shit from larger sheets and old jobs). Keeping all that shit is bothersome and you may be able to find some stuff for a decent price because it would just go to the recycling place otherwise. You can haggle price (unless they go by weight) and dont just buy from the first place you go to.
Anyway
All my welding equipment is Chicago Electric, which is what was apparently recommended by the store for someone of my skill. They are both Flux Wire Mig Welders, except for the plasma cutter, which is, of course, a plasma cutter and not a welder. Obvious statement is obvious lol
