If that safety person was so concerned about you tying off, why didn't she say something while you weren't tied off? Instead of waiting till you were finished connecting? What a joke. Sometimes you got to do what you can to get the job done.
Much respect to all trades no matter what you do!! its hard work! Im more of a rat (non union) lol i work where the money is good for the time being i dont join a union or stick to a trade... but ive met alota great union guys working in shipyards (pipe fitting), doing papermill shutdowns, tank building and other industrial work.. the only trade i can say i dont like was doing electrical mind numbing brainless work!! unless you get to terminate. Trades are a good choice for someone who doesnt mind working a ton of hours!! Anyone can easily find work and get a chance. myself i havent even finish high school and i did MANY jobs and when i got tired of one i could easily quit one and find another whenever i was ready. Shipyards are an easy place to start! and they will get you certs like osha 10 and 30 which will help secure other jobs as well!! like i said i dont even have a high school diploma and i wont even take a job where im not making at least 1500 a week!!! I just finished a job doing a shutdown just doing cable pulls and conduits for a month i was taking home 2600 a week thats including my perdiem though, they even got me an apprentice electrician license for my state! im taking a break a few months now and then ill be heading to florida to head to a shipyard
I'm still trying to figure out how in the fucking hell the first connection is gonna bolt up. I didnt and couldn't see an offset clip. The bolt was going the opposite way.... bolt up crew is gonna be PISSED!
i work as a concreter and finisher. all steel fixers and iron workers you gotta be tough just to be out there in the cold in the hot and long days and consistently week in week out.
Hate when they say hold that. Just say "Hi" for the hoist. Swing for the swing and trolley or boom for the trolley or boom. makes it so much easier. footage helps too
Trent, it looks like the first connection is sharing the bolts on both side the column web. only one bolt was there when you took the nut out. could you give some details about the first connection? Thanks
How do you go about getting into this? What do I need to get done before I even go down to my Local and Apply for an apprenticeship. I live in Philly and need to get into some union. Applications for March 2019
I guess all you big time Union Ironworkers missed the fact he had the top bolt on farside going the wrong way and left it... wondering how that's going to bolt up?... Just a Rat that hangs more iron.
Will - The bolt facing the other way is done so purposely. It is a safety for making doubles. Look at the clips as the beam comes in and you will see the staggered pattern. If you know that-being a big bad iron hanging guy- and thought he should have spun it around, comment on how you would have done that. Teleport through the decking? Go go gadget arm reach under the beam? All of those connections will be stuffed off of a step ladder. Period. Don’t act like you have a clue, you obviously don’t.
im from the local |||| galactic spacial milirock union. We can connect Milirock so much faster and i cant believe you primitive humans still use "IRON"
man those dudes work hard. you would wonder why modern tech would not have a way of pre facing those things to interlock and build faster..i have no idea about any of that kind of work but it seems really old school. not that old school is bad but just seems antiquated. id have dropped that wrench a million times before first break
They go up pretty fast. I’m not sure exactly what you mean about preface and interlock but I’m sure if it could be done, they would be doing it. Speed is everything in this industry.
@@colelythgoe3136 my point is it's a 1/2" drive on a spud ,good for fuk all exept falling down way down again lol.wont take alot to torque the guts out of one either ,wont get much hold on to many points either the odd time it might work a bit wont touch a actual spud ,

Philthy Phil although that's true, he could've easily tied off to the column lol
How about the rod buster under the damn load?
Marcos Carmona Ironworkers always do that
I don’t know what’s more nerve racking. The heights or being in Reading PA?
LMAOOO im from reading and yeah. its fucked.
Why the fuck is that guy working under the connector?
nice work BE SAFE OR BE LUCKY.
Hey cuz word of advice when spuding a beam turn the offset to you save your fingersLOL
Some of us learn because we were told and some of us find out the hard way😂
I never met a connector ever that liked using a beam dog.
What is the technical term for those? Like a beam grab or something?
@@jonathanaldana4941 theyre quite literally called beamers. The ones I personally use are beamer 2000s. Now sure about the doubles in the videos.

I’m an 1st year apprentice at local 92 just got out of welding school got my 3g and 4g stick papers for local 92. Trying to find local work in Alabama
i work as a concreter and finisher. all steel fixers and iron workers you gotta be tough just to be out there in the cold in the hot and long days and consistently week in week out.
Awesome job stay safe my brothers.. 30 years from now you're going to be saying to yourself..I should have stayed in school
Yeah when they’re retired and living off their pension I’m sure they’ll be kicking themselves for not going to school
Hell, I’m a college graduate going into ironworking. You’ll regret parts of any job you do... mayaswell have one like this.
Lmao “no u weren’t “ lol
Hate when they say hold that. Just say "Hi" for the hoist. Swing for the swing and trolley or boom for the trolley or boom. makes it so much easier. footage helps too
This is awesome
Hard worken dude iron workers are the best pig iron cowboys chat me up brother
Double connections should be outlawed.
Trent, it looks like the first connection is sharing the bolts on both side the column web. only one bolt was there when you took the nut out. could you give some details about the first connection? Thanks
Bruce Chen yes I fucked up that connection it was my first time connecting
😄😄😄😄
That fucking connector sucks ass.
How do you go about getting into this? What do I need to get done before I even go down to my Local and Apply for an apprenticeship. I live in Philly and need to get into some union. Applications for March 2019
Yea go down to the local and fill out a application
Very slow for conecting
I guess all you big time Union Ironworkers missed the fact he had the top bolt on farside going the wrong way and left it... wondering how that's going to bolt up?... Just a Rat that hangs more iron.
Will Shehan that’s the first thing I noticed also. Someone in the bolt up gang is gonna be upset
Wtf yu crying about connecters connect bolt baggers finish the shit so get fuked with that bullshit

@@anthonycucinotti9705 these shittbaggers got a long ways ta go nevermind getting ther el's so let em bitch all the way back to web warrior land lol
Will Shehan it’s a osha lug dumbfuck
Is that a GoPro that you are using to film ?
Yes it was
Ya spend more time and energy fucking with all that unsafe safety crap than you do setting Iron...
im from the local |||| galactic spacial milirock union. We can connect Milirock so much faster and i cant believe you primitive humans still use "IRON"
What!..?.what?
Fuck and i thought making tdc or ductmate connections was a bitch....]
I’ve walked on some iron before steel framer but never long beams like that I bet they move a bit when connecting sketchy
You guys build the whole country and have for decades
550 pre apprenticeship here. Love the vid
Your beamer is junk get a beamer 2000 I hate making doubles JIW local 172
Michael Harris o trust me I got one the one I used there was junk
@@MrSmokeeater69 well you guys have fun and b safe I'm glad you have a better beamer
Rrrrrrr
Real men of genius
It's Brian maxey from St Louis brother
Why do the connectors phone rather than having a phone man? We always have a phone man
Generally the safety person was told not to mess with the Raising Gang and to steer clear.
Love the smell of pig iron in the morning
433 Los Angeles learn how to hang iron.
Ryan Mckenna IW433 💯🤙🏻
youre so bad ass dude
They use to catch me not tied
Off a lot
Gonna get my nr-233 nr-232 papers next week

you wouldn't be there long. No offense.

This trade isn't for everyone... and structural iron has come along way from its beginnings.
Must be wearing ear plugs....
Nice work. Well done
Try spittin on the holes before u spud them it bolts easier,,
Keep ur spuds shinny!!!
👍👍💪😎IW17
☮️✌️
Great stuff
Too Slow Boys
nice
lol
noooo you werent
How do you become a connector? Can you do this right after the apprenticeship ? Or do you have to work a certain amount of jobs
baysikecho gotta work your way up
Trent .Ozog so this is like a rank? Once you work a certain amount? Very interesting
Trent .Ozog trying to learn as much as I can
More like experience time in
Trent .Ozog ok thanks man
That small diameter wire rope being used for fall protection is not rated for 5,000 lbs ? just saying .
To make it easier i thing i would have used the ratcheting spud
Spuds your best friend and what's a wrachet?
Wtf are you talking about!!!?dunbass
Dumbass
@@ferrallderrall6588 Klein makes a ratcheting spud, you put a socket on the end
@@colelythgoe3136 my point is it's a 1/2" drive on a spud ,good for fuk all exept falling down way down again lol.wont take alot to torque the guts out of one either ,wont get much hold on to many points either the odd time it might work a bit wont touch a actual spud ,
