Wha t no picture shots of all these I wanna play inspector

[nobullshit]

Spend day welding come home on my free time to watch someone else spend their day welding.

[kenhomeier]

I was fortunate to work as a helper for a seasoned welder in a fab shop. Learned a ton and still have full respect for him sharing his knowledge. That was 25 years ago. I still love fabrication. Those guys can make a big difference in someone’s outlook on a trade.

[GrimReapiN]

Not gonna lie, this looks like satisfying work.

Prolly pays 5x as much as stocking shelves of a grocery store, too.

[CigzMuch]

Hearing someone say they made only 2 welds a whole shift isnt impressive till you see the sheer scale, requirements, quality and how many beads you gotta lay on a 42 inch pipe. Damn impressive. Keep it up guys

[MrSalazar]

Been welding for 9 years, remember the days of carrying a 9” wildcat grinder around with my lil old welder. I was his wireless remote. Lol.... Great content here, keep it up

[kirsch]

I’m a commercial plumber/pipefitter love working with my welder he’s the best character you’ll ever meet!

[adolforeyes]

Finally some raw footage!!!! I like these man please do more

[Galen-wsph]

I'm an old man now, but dad was a welding inspector and at 16 I found myself as a welder helper for a hot pass welder to start with. Pipelined until the creation of OPEC. I helped quite few welders, some great and some worse than a spoiled dog. I was 3rd generation pipeliner. I really enjoy you and things you do.

[KGisthename]

All my hard working fellow Americans I salute you 😉
There is a reason that we live in the greatest country in the world.

[wesleycooper]

Looks like plenty of daylight left to keep going! I couldn't imagine doing your work all day every day. Much respect.

[qklmike]

I like how he hung up the phone when you were almost done with the last rod. That's good help

Austin. hi, my name is Andy, I worked pipeline for about ten years, I want to tell you my story some time. I like your videos and find myself watching them a lot. Part of my story is I came out of the hall green to pipeline as a laborer (Labor Foreman on heavy highway work for 20 years) then the Millennium pipeline came through New York, 382 miles along the western tear of NY state, I worked on 2 spreads with one of the most hard core Superentindents ever, won't say his name but its RF, well after 2 years green I became #1 and 1/2 on the call list, It was the best 10 years of my life, I met many great folks, welders, helpers, drivers, operators and laborers, with whom I still send Christmas cards with. I did a short stint as assistant Safety man, not my favorite roll but I got to meet everyone up close on our 500 plus spread. One small, very small tip, have your helper put a guard on that grinder. I know I know believe me I know, but almost any job in 2019 they can run you off for that. I would like to share my story with you.. Keep on keeping on and be safe, God Bless.. Andy..

Keep it up buddy, good job, soon get welding licence and start yourself. I like both of u. And lot of respect from me for wat y r doing.

[AsifItMatters]

The company i work for makes 45s and 90s up to 48 inches in diameter for pipelines . its nice to see them being installed instead of just dropping off of the forge at work.

[larryezell]

These videos have a very high quality to them. Mr. Ross you do a excellent job interviewing people to elicit relevant and on-point testimony from the pipeliners. Have you worked as a teacher or instructor in a prior job?

[mariahwyant]

Watching this make me miss welding. I always welded in factory settings. I'm actually trying to get back into welding. So I'm really looking forward to it.

[edgargl]

Watching this before I start as a Welding helper with my dad excited to do this !! And great Video 💯

[Studioofficial]

Im about to start trade school for welding so these types of videos really help get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!

[jacobwalter]
