Wha t no picture shots of all these welds..... I wanna play inspector
Mark's Welding & Mech. Srvcs.
Lol you dont want to see my welds. They will hurt your eyes.
where in pa
You don't need them to inspect, real welders run smaw (stick) UPHILL always....only amateurs and pipeliners weld downhill.
I'd end up in jail if NavSea caught me welding downhill.
I'm welder
Spend day welding come home on my free time to watch someone else spend their day welding.
Hahaha same here what the fuck is wrong with us?
No Bullshit I’m honestly tired of welding pipe but here I am
Same
@@williamweaver820 but yall making like 100k so why u tired 😭
LOLOLOLOL
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.
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
Bro you look like Bobby Hill.
Wilder 😂😂💀
"Bobby!" - Hank Hill
Benny Hill
God damn it Bobby! I tell ya hwhat
Lol more less like scuzz twittly !!!
Not gonna lie, this looks like satisfying work.
Prolly pays 5x as much as stocking shelves of a grocery store, too.
Kenneth Rollins I think they get paid really well, I heard around 100k a year
I made 115k first full year as a helper, 132k the second. The main thing about being a helper isn’t the money, it’s the experience. I moved up to inspector 4 years ago and haven’t made less than 280k a year since
code y’all hiring???
@@catalyzt9 full of shit
@@catalyzt9 why lie
I’m a commercial plumber/pipefitter love working with my welder he’s the best character you’ll ever meet!
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
That’s funny.
Wait where you edge grinding it face grinding?
@@CalebAdams2002 150k plus depending on if it’s a good year. 100k-150k
Finally some raw footage!!!! I like these man please do more
Adolfo Reyes
Steadily getting footage. Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Adolfo Reyes u forgot to mention the cool background music... adds to the whole Tough working welder guy! MAN JOBS!
Yea but you like all men, homosexual.
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.
I like how he hung up the phone when you were almost done with the last rod. That's good help
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.
Hey Austin i love your attitude! That's how you do shit!!! You help the next one inline ...and pull him up not treat him like a bitch! Good for you need more welders out there like you buddy ..
Looks like plenty of daylight left to keep going! I couldn't imagine doing your work all day every day. Much respect.
I rather have this job than doing roofing now that I'm seeing what they do pretty awesome 🤙
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.
I can really feel the atmosphere
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..
You should look in the description part under the video, he posted his social media including Facebook, him and his wife do a podcast and want to hear stories like yours. You should message him!
Getting into this field any advice
Jose Morales yeah make the money cause it’s there don’t settle for anyless
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?
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.
All my hard working fellow Americans I salute you 😉
There is a reason that we live in the greatest country in the world.
first of all yall should stop calling yourself *americans* yall are united states residents. I am canadian and i could also say that I am an american. people in Brasil, Uruguay, and other places in south america could also say they are americans.
Statistics shows USA is not even ranked top 10 lmao
@@eluzelu5086 Bye.
@@lalipop241 Yes because we will stop doing so because leftist like you tells us to. We been called and call ourselves Americans for over 100 years so why would we stop now? You are called Canadian because you live in a nation called Canada. Mexicans are called Mexicans because they live in a nation called Mexico. Americans are called American because we live in a nation called United States of America, makes sense. Haters will hate what they cant have or where they cant live. Is the USA the best? No... Is it the worst? No... It is in fact Great like many other nations because no country is the best. You got good and bad country's.
@@stuart3712 As far as Im concern, I would call myself a socialist. you americans believe yall got the best system in the world? here we have good free health care, how about you ? here we have access to free shool until master degree (23-24 years old ) How about you ?, here we have anti weapons laws, how about you? here the proletarian money is behing reinvest in public services, how about your corrupt governement? here we think about our planet before our profit, how about you ? Americans are a huge parts of many countries economy and thats why you are behing still the strongest. wait until china rise, US will fall. China own many of us debt and if they want, they could simply create another stock market crash at your little door. Think about it twice miss AMERICA
I love it. I'm learning how to weld with my everlast welders and really enjoy it. Maybe a life as a welder is in the cards for me. I sure do like watching welding and doing it myself.
Watching this before I start as a Welding helper with my dad excited to do this !! And great Video 💯
Edgar Miranda same here bro hope it’s going good👍🏻
You guys should update us I'm going in next friday as well
Glad I found the video I just got a job and never thought about working pipeline but don’t wanna pass this up
Nice looking welding rig. Simple and effective
This is a great video giving insight. I wish there was more explanation of what actually was taking place though along each step or at least the most important or common steps along the way...
Still a cool and inspirational video either way. Great job and thank gou very much for uploading it.
Thanks
Loved this video! Would like to see more of what you guys do on a day to day basis. I have thought about getting into what you and Sam do but feel like it wouldn't be fun to be away from family. Its awesome to see what all you guys do though!
Outdoorsman20
It’s great to get feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There is more to come. Thanks again and thanks for watching.
Great machine and great bed! Gotta be a great welder 👨🏭!😃👏👏👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've been looking for something exactly like this for a while now. Thanks!
My advice to guys, if you like using your head, get into fab work and well hookups, if you like fast paced repetitive work , get into main line.
My father once had a helper named Buffalo. He looked like Karl Childers the main character from Sling Blade. Buffalo kind of talked like him as well.
I respect hardworking people.
So about 3 years ago freshmen year in high school I had a offer to go be a helper for somebody but blew it off and watched this same video and here I am now back on this video rewatching it because I really love welding and with my creative mind I can become a welder
This is a dope video i will be graduating from welding school next month and i was leaning toward a fab shop to get more experience but after watching a few of these videos i want to be in the field. Keep these vids coming its motivation.
Thanks. Congrats on graduating soon. Fab job would still be a great place to get experience. I worked at a fab shop for 3 years right after high school. That gave me tons of experience. I don’t regret it at all. But I hear ya. This is where I enjoy being most. So keep the goal in view. 😎👌
How is is the career turning out,
? Was it worth it?
These vids just keep getting better and better😁
Mark Garcia you ain’t lying brother. They’re getting very very good at this
I worked on a survey crew for two spreads (42") in Canada. Welders are the rockstars of the operation. I never really got a chance to see the welding up close. Thanks, this is neat! The other rockstar was the pipe engineer who would walk the line with his assistant and mark all the bends out. Memories!
Nice video on your profession. My shop recently let go a welder who did not make it past his 90 days. He was asking me for help on projects. I can weld. But as a Diesel mechanic not the best. It takes a lot of fabrication and patience to become a great welder.
Wish I had found this video when I just started helping... I’m a helper in West Texas have been helping for nearly 2 years it’s an awesome job super high paying for how repetitive and chill it is although you do work your ass off from time to time and depending what hours they work you can be straight exhausted from working 7 12’s for months on end if you guys fall behind from wind outs or rainouts
If you don’t mind me asking what’s the pay like?
Blue collar hard work all the way!!! I just started getting into welding myself
How's it going..???? I'm considering welding school...wondering if it's rewarding as far as stability?
@Sametra Kelly I just did it for fun. I know some friends who do it. It’s hard work, but if you run your own business then it’s better than welding for a company.
It was good video. Two partners getting along. Looks like fun being welders helper. 👍
Great video. Looking forward to making that journey.
You know you should be driving that ram.
Just now seeing this video, but I definitely like this style of video(raw footage) alot!
This was helpful since my first day of training starts Monday!
I enjoy the relaxed mood, no haste.
11:10 Gd hand you ground all in the bevel 😂😂 good video
Love it! Keep em coming brother
Good jobs bro, Well you have documented this work .You and your friend are doing a good job 😘😘
Hey Mr , I’ve enjoyed watching your videos , , keep up with your awesome attitude, & excellent work !!!!
I use to work for Midwest Pipe and we Put the Coating on the Pipes it’s kinda crazy seeing you fellas welding them together 👍🏾
Is it hard to get a job out there I'm from NC
Bob Smith Not at all starting pay for the good Jobs out here in $17 plus
@@iLaMbo2 do u need high school education or ged
Bob Smith Yes
@@iLaMbo2 really ? There has to be illegals down there working ?
I would love this 😣
Randomly came across your vid and man does it make me miss the times i had on the pipeline
That's what I did from time to time a welders helper, I worked with some great guys.
Not a true “day in the life” til you stop at the beer joint. LOL. My dad was a pipeliner for 40 yrs. He was “abnormal” in the fact that he didnt hardly ever drink.
I think you finally found what you can fall back on when you get out of welding?
Dude, honestly, your truck is awesome :) greetings from a metal worker from austria :)
Good stuff I do the same thing up here in Canada you to are a good team thumbs up from Canada!!!!
Should get some close up shots of the finished grind and buff. Show people whats hes doing and why. Good video
Jack Masse
Video coming soon about why we grind the bead including some footage of that.
Sams the man. Is he a welder now? Link that channel son
Nothing beats work on the ROW. Be safe
well done....good to buff off or grind rust pain to a distance of to say 20 mm from joint bevel edge... so that welding process.. not draw it..the impurities.. into the weld metal.. weakening the weldmetal and joint ..enjoyed.. yr video..well done..enjoy hols..christmas..new year say warm... thank u for a wonderfull video..i wish , i had a good trades assitant.. when i was welding..
Nice. I’m a first year apprentice at local 597 Chicago fitters👍🏻
42" pipe at nearly 3/4" thick. Big pipe for sure.
Nice Crew!!
Im at the NM University taking Welding Classes, trying to get my degree. Dont know what's up out there, but thanks to showed up those videos, so we can learn real life everyday. 👊
It's a sunday morning and it's my day off from work, and I'm sitting here watching and learning from you. I think the helpers should wear knee pads just like the welders. I'm a plumber and I know about being on my knees😂😂🤘🏽🛠 great video.
If you in western pa areas you might know my uncle he’s an inspector
Tucker and Dale? From Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil?
Your hot
That's a good day boys. Well done
Sam seems so cool, and austin he was lucky to have you
Where do I fill out an application ? 😉
When does the inspector 'Xray' your welds... Can you make a video of that process ?
Dave Smith
An x-ray tech and his helper will shoot the weld any time after we are done with it. Some gas companies require the weld to set for 24 hours before they x-ray it. Yes i will put it on my list.
It’s a whole different branch of engineering called ndt search for radiographic testing videos
@@arosswelding how do I get a job doing this ? I need to make a better life for my family!
chris bevins find yourself a union nearby study take the test and hope they call u in to start an apprenticeship
@@JohnDoe-us1ek do you need to go to welding school first and be certified?
Thanks for making these videos. I’m a junior in high school and it’s my dream to weld on the pipeline. I hope I make it there one day looks like fun work to me.
Hey if you’re a junior ask your school if they have a program where you can get college classes as you’re in high school you do that now you have a chance for one year I did that for 2 yrs best choice I made
@@Dog15308 I blew that Chance and now I’m having to take 2 welding classes in college to get into the actual welding program:(
@@communisticorganism3416 ah damn well I hope best luck for you all I can say is don’t slack on math that’s real important in fabrication
@@Dog15308 and I also have a dislike for math :| but thanks for the heads up, guess I’ll actually have to read the book this time.
@@communisticorganism3416 oh yeah they real important I slacked on math and it cost me some competitions then I tried harder and I got 15th in a state competition I probably still missed some math on that but at least I knew more
Loved watching this, thanks for the fab video lovely x
Harriet Shearsmith
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video❤
Good video... Lots of stuff to do in a pipeline welding crew.
Lots of stuff to learn..
Plenty of money to be made...
Question.. your DeWalt angle grinder. The 9" inch I believe? ...anyways..no guard for the Blade? At those high R.P.Ms it only takes one disc to break and ruin someone's. Day... I'm just saying that based upon welding school... We would get sent home if the instructor caught us being unsafe ..
Honestly I want to be the guy driving the bulldozer lifting the pipe, not as much money but you still get to drive the bulldozer so there's that
This mason money ain’t cutting it, I wanna switch trades
Erick Montejano what is mason money? You want to switch to welding?
@@Athecubus He obviously does Masonary work
I like your videos man keep the hard work
Love this Chanel I’m a welders helper in coalinga rn been doing it for about 7 months former navy veteran looking to make a career out of welding awesome video brother
Matthew Haddadin been there, done that. Put in your 100% effort and it will work out!
I have a question. Do you absolutely have to go through welding school to become a welder? Or is a welder helper a good place to start too?
I'm about 6 months away from being ready to join on as a helper.... any recommendations for a union. I'm in California now, but me and the family want the hell out of here.
Put some names of companies that could be hiring. Thanks
Thanks man you help a lot. A lot a lot
I always recommend any green hand to start out as a fitter helper in a refinery or sulfur extraction plant some where get experience in welding and real fitting such as rolling offsets standard offsets exotic metals and the fundamentals of what the oil and gas industry demands in craftsmanship
BINGO...exactly...
if you cant bevel a piece of pipe or weld out of position and still pass X ray you aint got a shot your right.. Lots of people are assuming they can just go RIGHT to pipeline work.. and thats just not the case.. If you cant fit you shouldnt weld.. I agree
Anyone else catch him saying “fatticus” instead of “staticuss”😂😂😂
Well, that is my nickname 🤣
Give helper a reason to breakout, video him doing a bevel on that pipe with the 7"
thank you buddy for sharing this with me
I wanna be a helper!!!!! Idk how to get started.
Whats with the hats lmao kiko wears one too !!😂
Welding caps man
Slag is hot and sticks plus it helps keep the smell down in the hair
Just recently started helping a welder for a gas well company. Mostly pipe fitting
This video did numbers. You da man man
I’ve been watching your videos and one day I saw your truck on Outlaw Diesels Facebook page . Are you from the Stillwater area ? I’m currently working as a helper in Cushing Oklahoma but I’m staying by Stillwater
JOSE LUIS Serrato
Yes i am from Stillwater. It’s a small world. Thanks for watching.
In college right now and I’m having a hard time with Tig 😩
Gotta have motion of the ocean. Keep your tip sharp and watch your stick out
College? What you learning there ?
Marissa Guzman well I got moved down unfortunately from Tig, so I’m gonna redo stick welding on 5” pipe
This video is awesome! I am really considering looking more into this career
Hello
Im looking to be a welder helper after i graduate. This is super helpful dude.
Getting paid that much do do that! ! Thats easy. . I already do 70 to 84 hours a week sitting on my butt driveing truck.
Thats still pretty good pay tho
fabrication is the coolest.. but it's all great ... (that underwater stuff is insane ..so I guess that's why they make insane money ) but Weldon is alot cooler than I wouldve ever imagined...
it's a better trade than being a cop. that's for dang sure...make .ore money too....
Shoot ya. I hear ya
Really great video guy super helpful do one on the welder start to finish! Keep up the great work!
Christian Pringle
Thanks for watching.
What's up from North Dakota. The Bakken is hoppin! Keep layin those beads brotha.
So just stand around all day handing rods... where do I apply?
BlownViper 505 street corner? Gotta get experience.
OK, I chanded my mind. I want a helper now 🤣🤣🤣 it's like a housewife at work
Glad it recommended me this video! Nice content👌
TJ
I’m glad you found us! Thanks for watching!
Hey mate. I am from australia. So I am new to seeing your welling rig set up on your ute. But i noticed you and your mate were talking about ice for your cooler. A suggestion us boys do with our utes is have a dual battery set up and a solar panel on the roof. And fridge in were your middle console sits. Engel fridges are the way to go.
Okay i am new to this welding information i am 19 and i am about 6 months away to being a certified welder i don't know much about it still but i was wondering what a pipeline welder is and what's there job and is it a good job or not if anyone can help me with that much appreciated 🙏🏽
Pipelines is where the bread is at! 💰💰
