I'm the type of guy that always hopes for other people's success no matter their experience or aptitude. I'd never hope someone else fails. I've been welding my whole life, and when I see new welders with cheap equipment do well, I'm very happy for them and will try to advise them the best I can to get the best results they can. I never let my ego get in the way of the fact that some people do well enough without $20,000 in equipment and 40 years of experience. I'd never withhold information just to see someone fail, what possible satisfaction would a person get from that?
Every welder made their first weld at some point, every painter does his first paint job at some point, hopefully they have a good experience, do a good job and are happy with the result. It's what makes a community like this great.
