    I am a welding inspector in So. Cal. for 20 plus years, local 433 are professionals, they take their jobs seriously as they should. This is what Union training brings....professionalism...period.

    A job as an iron worker has, structure, content, meaning and power in the form of education and pay. I appreciate good honest hard working safely people. I'm a retired union welder fitter. I miss the guys.

    I recognize that one connector that has the one spud and bar, I think he has a you tube channel called "Dirty White Guy", has a lot of good videos of hanging iron in San Francisco and Oakland. He gets around good on the iron.

    Hey connectors, never stab tab the top hole!! 1 reason you have to work around your wrench. Always stab the second hole down, that way you can stich the bolt and move the iron around.
    Also, the guy that pulled the bar out for a slap connection on a floor beam. It is better to use your wrench, only pull the bar out, when you need to pry. No offense, we are all brother Ironworkers!!

    • @peteywheatstraws4909
      @peteywheatstraws4909 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely. Spud the second hole down, for slap connections or doubles, and for a lot of smaller buildings (retail, churches, schools), my bar seldom comes out unless I'm sliding big stuff around in the web of bigger stuff.

    These guys are the pros at rigging and signaling, but I'm just puzzled as to why their chokers are so close together on those planks @ 32 seconds. Its like asking for the load to fall out on one side.

      Glaziers IMO are just token workers on the most part they just don't have the overall skills and expertise needed to get the job done safely and under budget. From my experiance, they drag ass all day long. However, there are exceptions.

      Unfortunately iron workers are taking other trades work and calling it structural or are putting it in a structural package they shouldn't be touching glass and decking is work done by architectural sheet metal workers iron workers are trying to take it just like carpenter are trying to take other trades work.

      +Moises Villanueva yeah pretty sure you need to certify to have a chance at becoming an apprentice. I have my D1.1 manual cert and I probably won't even bother applying until I get my semi automatic certification later this year. I went to Mt. Sac and 2 or 3 guys last semester alone got certified and got jobs as apprentices right away. But they had 2 or 3 certifications

    In my humble opinion and I've only been I am working for 35 years structural steel high-rise buildings are very Antiquated and outdated the sad part is nobody gets it you have to ask yourself who and what are the biggest organized work forces on the planet number one it's the United States military in my humble opinion then you have to ask yourself how many military buildings are there over 5 stories tall and this goes for militaries all over the world I know it's a trick question
