They are so good, I generally hire one but they cut the time down.
If you can get a self feeding screw gun with the extension, you can cut the fixing time to a third because it is si quick and you dont need to keep shifting planks and ladders to get all round the room.

I purchased a 160A DC TIG/Stick & 40A plasma cutter about 5 years ago to help me build one of these 36' steel boats:

Loved it! (Still do). AC would be nice for Aluminium welding, but otherwise great.

That was when we were living in Canada ... never did finish the boat, had a kid and moved back to Oz.

Had to leave my Argon bottle back there - damn shame you have to rent them here (although I see that there's now someone in Sydney who sells and refills 'em).

Wood or metal - as long as there are tools

Too true, my wife is always onto my about having multiples, here favourite story is "he has three nail guns".  I started collecting titan chisels and turner planes a few years back and it turned into a disease for a while
