Besides the heights you have all them beams over your head they are crazy

Super big bucks there brave

This is how it is supposed to go. If it was me? My spud goes through the incoming piece. Old School. It'll help keep the member from sliding off. #1208425

What going on with that first beam slice only having one bolt on one side of the clip?

Horrible tag and hook on man not getting debris off flange Work safe

That little tickle you get in the seat of your pants when he walks out on the beam. I used to follow connecting crews around, coating connections. I absolutely loved it, until one day I didn't. No reason, no incident, didn't see an accident. I was just walking a beam like this fella and stopped dead in my tracks, as if I had at that moment become aware of my existence, and thought WTF am I doing here? Strange day that was, with 14 years under my belt I never cooned iron again.

What the @#$%!

And people from McDonald’s want to get paid as much as these people. What a joke.

"Dem hoes for everybody." 😂

What does a job like this earn per year?

Sexy cantilever connection.

Depending on the height,you'll hit maximum velocity about the time you it.

Bar joist jobs are the worst.

Much love to my erector set men from a framer in the Midwest (carpenters 322)

Shouldn’t have a retractable that long looks like you would hit the ground before it stops you

pretty dang cool from that perspective. i think you have to put two bolts in each end though before you unhook per osha though

Respect str8 badass...i could never do that

Men of Steel.

Love the tree. I'm too fat and top heavy now. My glory days of connecting are over. Got all i needed and still have all fingers and toes. Would rather stage and rig now. 8 year old vid , i was still connecting then. Miss it a little. Stay alive fellas. One slip and down you go.

😵 😱

I'm imagining what it's like doing this hungover with too much coffee in your system.

Damn hitch hiking rocks and the punks that don’t remove em.

Miss iron working man but the kid that ran it was a drunk coke head we always butted heads

What is he using to tie off to the beam? That ain’t no beam strap OSHA

You get scared just watching.

Scab mfers

I install skyliner fall protection systems and walk around on all the beams after these guys put em up. It's scary shit forsure even being tied off. And I only make $20 an hour, these guys probably make around 30-40 per hr

YOU ROCK BROTHER..!!

Wahoo

jesus...one wrong move and you get your finger pinched, that finger is GONE....such a thankless job these ironworker and anyone in the construction field

Finally someone ties in

Wow dude doesn't even drop down to the bottom toe of the beam ... hardcore skill..thank brother for all that you do...I'm a ex tradesman retired

Nope, no thanks...I will stick with excavating sewers

Thats magic gotta love blue collar work when its that smooth 💯🤘💪🇺🇸🎯👍

Yea fk this job

No tag line, gravel all over the bottom flange, and a wire tag in a bolt hole? I'd fire your hook on guy.

Wow who using slings to set iron

Feel like connectors are one step away from being a trapeze.

MAD RESPECT GENTLEMEN, AND LADIES.

Them maneuvering that massive beam inches from his crotch area made my nads shrivel

Very cool, but how tf did he get on that single pole in the beginning?

As a construction worker ( Plumber) I can honestly say these guys are a lot of the time the most arrogant , outta my way We're the most important people here type of guys you'll come across. And its because ITS TRUE, got nothing but crazy respect for these crazy bastards. Without these guys and the concrete deck guys I couldnt do my job. Those fellas are definitely a different breed.

4:39 SORRY MATE, THERES NO SMOKING ON SITE, DUE TO SOMEONE COMPLAINING OF PASSIVE SMOKING

This man has nerves of steel.just another breed of a man.i got dizzy watching this on my phone.he better get payd good for what he does.

I need a job to make money I need a job thank you

Nice job....well done.

Thats dalton and kylies crane isnt it

Respect ! I've worked in a stone-coal mine, 1km under the surface... - but up ? 😱

I used to do this back in the 80s. Man I miss those days of hell raising! Lol. I was a connector on One Kendal Square in Cambridge near MIT. That was a cool building to hang with its huge atrium.

I hope this job pays big time because I’m sitting here like nope 🌴👍👍😎🌴
