Red Fox and Demon Wilson, Sanford and son. I used to get such a big laugh out of the! My favorite is when Red Fox would grab his chest and say, “here I come Elizabeth; this is it, this is the big one.” lol so hilarious
You made a very important point that I hope was heard by all those just getting out of welding school. You’re NOT going to be a top dog weldor the first time you walk onto the job or in the shop fresh out of school! You’re going to pay your dues and if you want to succeed, you better suck it up and say, “yes sir”, and get in there and do the dirty, grunt work and act like you like it even though you’re cussing under your breath with every fiber of your being. Being the new guy with no experience, the work site politics alone will run a lot of people off.
I work another trade, but "McMaster Carr company" sells pipe flange wedges that are tuff. These are long slinder about 5/8" wide made for seperating flanges when having to do maintenance that requires removing pipe. I'm retired from multiple facites of maintenance, but i still learn a lot from your videos. Your videos are top notch. Keep up the good work.
I met union pipeliner a year ago or so. My buddy made him a custom pre fabed weldin bed. Nice guy, so i went on to tell him about my weldin rig/trailer. A Vantage 300. Gas powered compressor. In a utility bed mounted on a old 1 ton military trailer. (Works wonderful for me). He looked at me in dispair. Then i proceded to suggest brackets for a gin pole. Again a look of dispair. To which he proceeded to inform me it was not politacally correct to have anything more than your bare neccecities to perform yor job. They have a image to maintain and world be laughed off the job if they had had anything like that. Then apoligized forbeing blunt. I said i wasn’t offended at all but was concerned thats all he could do.
Lol! That’s par for the course. I’ve never been in s union. The truth be told the union really did a lot for the pay of welders. I guess too much of a good thing starts to have diminishing returns. I’m glad he was a nice guy I’ve met some real assholes
As I catch up on all your older videos ,I can’t help but laugh. I went to a community college to welding school . The school was located in a unincorporated area near Novato California. Why is this info important well one night I needed a piece to weld went behind the shop reached down and stoped before I touched the metal . Seems the 30 inch rattlesnake wanted that warm piece of metal . I called it a night . But up at my cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains everyone know use a spud wrench a bar But never stick your hand where you can’t see
Great vid, just sub'd, you've got a great channel going. Good pace, clear and to the point, but easy to understand. And no profanity for the win! got my vote.
Appreciate the videos, been searching for these types since I’ve started welding on the job for the past year. Hands down the best explanation and useful tips that I’ve seen on TH-cam. I would appreciate it if you could do a video with some tips and tricks on the R-stamp with 160 wall. Thanks again!
That's one tool I don't have. About 80 bucks today on E. I'll see if I can find a second-hand one first. I might need more than one...well who doesn't need more than one of any tool they really use?
My man what's your workout routine ? And what do you recommend I do to become a pipe welder all I have is the welding certificate right now, what would be the next step ?
I cut the labels off my carhartt shirts too! Lmao
My grandfather gave me great advice for buying tools." Buy the tools you can afford. Then borrow some and buy better tools "

Just found your channel.Sub'd, very practical info Thanks for sharing
Killin it, good stuff man i like how your tools and setup are obviously used every day and well worn into their place. Shop tour too Boss👍
The adjustable spud wrench, definitely always need a pry bar!
Forklift fork for wedges

R-stamp?
Thank you For watching. And for the kind words that’s awesome.
I think I might have used the wrong term but a 6G uphill 6010 root and 7018 all the way out on 2” pipe
What about a workout routine and what you eat or take to stay in shape like that man🙏🏽💪
Ironworker union 378 27 years , spud and adjustable spuds lol
I bet you do got both LOL.
You can use the open end of the wrench to pick up pipe too, without a flange on it…
Question, at 1.18,and 1.21 what are these big spacers and what are they used for in welding pipe?
That's one tool I don't have. About 80 bucks today on E. I'll see if I can find a second-hand one first. I might need more than one...well who doesn't need more than one of any tool they really use?
Iron worker's tools, must have a sleever bar and 18 inches of chain with two different hooks one on each end
LOL
Im looking into buying a vantage 300. What kind of hours would you think is to many hours on the machine?
Man I don’t know I’ll be at one that has almost 8000 hours on it and it still runs good
My man what's your workout routine ? And what do you recommend I do to become a pipe welder all I have is the welding certificate right now, what would be the next step ?
Get a machine and start practicing five to seven days a week for 30 minutes no more than an hr
You’re the second person that asked me about working out I’m gonna make a video about it
Alright you got it !! And ok thank you I'll keep my eye out for it 👍
5:27 1¼ on ¾? Because that's what it looks like you're holding.
Hi Chris . Buy Silver and Platinum .
