Not all the caps have flowers, some have polka dots. Bikers wear leathers for protection the same way welders wear the caps for protection. On pipelines and other out of position welding, you can wear the cap sideways so it stops sparks from going in your ear. Have you ever had a hot spark go in your ear or land in your hair. Burn't hair has an especially nasty smell. Ever notice that the real fancy helmets cost a lot more too? There's lots of plain helmets available. The helmet doesn't make you a better welder. It can make some jobs a little easier though. I tried to explain that to a kid doing work experience for his high school welding class. He was sure proud of his $300+ fancy Miller helmet. It even came with a special bag to keep it in like a motorcycle helmet. He was worried about getting it scratched! He was having problems demonstrating his welding skills one day because he couldn't figure out that 90 amps is way too cold to burn 1/8" 7018. Take a look at what a pipeliners helmet or other real world welders helmet looks like after a few months.
So what if you don't like the HF welder? For material under 1/8" a MIG/wire feed is much better. If you're not a good welder, you'll probably just burn holes in your pieces with 3/32" rods. HF is probably like the Princess Auto welders up here. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on any of their chinese built welders. Watch your weld from the side. It's hard to see through your hands.

As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
