Yeah I used to love tube welding, chill-rings were my fav, I alway had a few extra chill-rings so when the foreman did his end of shift count my team had a higher count pissed off everyone except mentor he loved it, taught me everything.
- Ken, are you really surprised by that? It's been hard enough over the last two decades to keep Boilermaker work in power plants prosperous enough to earn a deceit living between scheduled outages... Then, you have Boilermakers endorsing the very political party and, Presidential candidates that are absolutely committed to eradicate fossil fuels of oil and coal. And, judging by your comment that all the places you worked as a Boilermaker that are now torn down, sounds like their plan to put Boilermakers out of business is, working!
@@dominancesubmission every place my local worked is gone and they all were torn down during pos45's time in office. I don't think they want to do away with just boilermakers but, all "skilled tradesmen and their pensions healthcare as well as their hourly rate.
@@KenSmith-bv4si - Haha... Really? The pos Trump is nothing compared to the pos IBB President, Newton Jones in charge of operations and who embezzled hundred of thousand dollars from the International and represented his mail order Ukrainian girlfriend / wife more than the rank and file members of the Boilermakers union. BTW... your power plants that were shut and torn down while Trump was in office were decided and approved by the other Democratic America hating President, Obama... Those planned powerhouse demolition work orders were just completed while Trump was in office and not part of Trumps plan... In fact, those shut down orders were the same ones Democrat, President Dementia ordered on his first day in office shutting down the XL-Keystone pipeline killing *thousands* of union jobs.... And, that's how Democrat Presidents represent the union workforce.
@KenSmith-bv4si I'm sure you know it's a 3 to 4 year process when decommissioning a coal fired power plant. Most all of the Power plants torned down in the last 10 years where scheduled under the Obama administration.
