12"x12" branch test

[@bradblake9642]

Great channel I haven't welded pipe in 30 years. I enjoy watching your channel seeing some of the tools you guys have now are sweet.

[@mikemullins3761]

Sure appreciate u all doing these "tutorials" for welders, especially young welders. Old-timers r very stingy with imparting their secrets and how-tos when it comes to welding. Again, thank u. Fantastic jobs: welder, helper & videographer! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@firstgendres]

Coming from somebody who has never struck an arc. How you explain things is very easy to get. Keep them vids pumpn!

[@paulpeterson7401]

Thank you Jacob I got a test next week for a company and this is one of their test they give. And it's my first branch test. I'll let you guys know how I do.

[@radarsock1]

And?

[@glennward89]

Paul Peterson well🤔

[@renevillarreal4807]

So how did you do?

[@jbolin105]

Good video Jacob. The welding is the easy part a lot of times. It's the prep and fitting up that can be a pain in the butt.

[@tcwaterdrill]

You do a good job of showing what needs to be done. Good pipe welders take pride in their skill. A good pipe welder is hard to come by. Worked in a major oil refinery for 30+ years, when money got tight the ones in charge would look at cutting wages on the contractor side for shut downs. When they cut the pipe welders wages the good local ones would go out of town for work. This would cause the shut downs to run out one to two weeks longer because of all the busted weld, rewelds, extra x-rays. Then the ones in charge would want to know why it took so long to finish a shut down. Sometimes the ones in charge have to learn the hard way about good pipe welders, some never did. Glad I am retired, got tired of the fight to keep the pipe welders pay up. Good pay for good pipe welder always made you good time and money getting the shut downs finished. Nobody wants a bad weld in a oil refinery. I good pipe welder will not do you a bad job just because you cut his money, he will just not show up and go out of town where they do pay for his skill.

Thank u for doing this 3 video series on the branch. Only thing I still don't know how, is how to bevel the saddle

[@josephcastleberry7228]

Glad to see someone teaching others about the pride, nowadays the older fellas just don’t have the patience or tolerance to deal with the way these younger bucks have been brought up, no respect. That’s all I have to say about that. Keep up the good work! I love your videos because you are real, and you are not acting. Again, great work, don’t give up. Keep going, you’ll never know the people you help, but the Good Lord will!!!

[@JacobSchofield]

Joseph Castleberry man Joseph thank you sir. That means a lot and I really appreciate it. Be blessed

[@dabdaddyjosh]

[@genereed5070]

What a great group of guys.. thank you for taking the time to show us your trade. I've been structural welding for some time. Tank and Tower quit a bit. I am wanting to learn pipe and you seem to a great journeymen to learn from. Do they realize how hard it is to find a knowledgeable journeymen who's willing to teach!!??? Dude how can I learn from you!!! ?????

[@JacobSchofield]

[@Silencedbearar]

Good video. I'm going to be going to a 16 month tech school. Hopefully I can get to being a pipeline welder someday soon..

[@rolandgarza4247]

Good info bud, you think you can make a vid about how to burn 8010G rods 5/32 & 3/16 rods what settings all that, I know the best way to learn is burn rods but, a few pointers would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

[@JacobSchofield]

[@bigdaddyrogers]

🤙🏻 you guys are bees knees

[@snowmexican1913]

Why do they make you do the branch tests in the states. Is it just to see if you know how to cope pipe? Vs doing a pipe to pipe test?

[@ricardosilva8106]

Any tips on how to get started in this trade. I always been interested.

[@ryanb1874]

6010 for tacks and roots?

[@MadMetalShop]

Not a pipe welder but now I know something about pipe welding lol 😂. Structural welder.

[@JacobSchofield]

Hahahah well good man glad to help.

[@12RCARR]

When you weld a branch you still use 6010 for the tacks and root right I’ve never welded a branch before

[@jayb2257]

good deal this is what I need to practice on

[@donfiherrudo2075]

Y firulais también trabaja ahí???

[@chrisr5716]

Good man...i rig weld and been around alot of old pipeliners and you have to deserve/earn to hear this knowledge

[@JacobSchofield]

very true Chris they really test you before they will help you.

[@chrisr5716]

Yes sir and they shouldnt do that because you can teach the whole world the trade, and in a hour the fakes will fall and golden arms will stay.its a lifestyle from the soul to engineer..since birth we had a thing to built shit hahaha
