A Day In The Welding Shop

[@kimknowles3681]

Don't hear any one complaining about having a job. It's work and it's hard but at the end of the day you did something.

[@VandeeTV]

Yes!!

[@patrickoneill8757]

Well said

[@BaronBoar]

I am sure it's not easy but humping drywall and hanging 5/8s on the ceiling all day really does suck and is hard on the body. My body was constantly achy. I would have to go into small places like this poor guy in the trailer. I am taking a welding course and hoping this will be my career until I retire. I am 35.

[@JDR71326]

​@@BaronBoarso you spend a little of your salary on a gym where the body aches for the better then when you are like 65+ you will thank your self for investing in you're self by having fluidity in your joints and you're bones are still strong as if you were still in your 40s thats the thing with trades somtimes good pay if you are in the top 10% but your doing the grueling hours and job

[@tinicoleofficial]

I’m planning to go to school for welding in April ‘24 & I’m definitely looking forward to it. Ready to learn a skill rather than just working a job👍🏾

[@VandeeTV]

Awesome, yes definitely a great skill to have

[@GoldenArmWelds]

You’ll love it at first then hate it after a few years 😅

[@mr_krb7051]

I'm also a fabrication welder and hell, I still learn something new everyday! One of the best trades out there. Great vid man.

[@VandeeTV]

Really appreciate it!! Yes always something new to learn

[@juliobonilla2222]

I just started welding and fabricating and I love it it's one hell of a trade

[@suwakore]

so many of the things you saw on your way to work that morning couldn’t exist without people like you keep up the great work

[@ara_brodjian2533]

I’m a food grade stainless steel fabricator, I’ve been doing it now for about 2.5yrs. I love it so far, very fulfilling.. especially when you build a big ass project and it comes out square and level! Love to see the Respirator!

[@VandeeTV]

Absolutely!! That is awesome. Thanks for the comment and hope you have a great day

[@tr33tv]

Great to see PPE being used. To good health and a lifelong rewarding career!

[@komoru]

Would love to see more of what you do at your welding shop. This video was very well edited and filmed, BTW

[@VandeeTV]

Thank you so much ! I really appreciate that ! I am actually working at a different shop now

3:25 big tip for you get a high amp plasma cutter you will save a lot of money and its quicker and cleaner and more accurate of a cut

[@VandeeTV]

Yes !! Definitely.

[@Neon-cz9xg]

I was a assembler for a welding shop still learned a lot even though i was not welding we were assembling racking solutions for the Auto industry

[@VandeeTV]

Yeah you can sure learn a lot if you just pay attention

[@Neon-cz9xg]

@@VandeeTVyeah we were mostly fastening rubber and plastic parts on racks after they were welded and painted sometimes there are missing welds or parts then we had to fix it

[@Neon-cz9xg]

I wouldn’t say assembly took skill or experience but you still need to learn and pay attention quite a bit

[@natenate2280]

that shop is nice man I wish I could get into 1 like that around here

[@VandeeTV]

We actually built it

[@natenate2280]

@@VandeeTV I believe it, just from the minimal exposure I got from the video I was jealous lmfao

[@VandeeTV]

Hahaha yeah it is an absolutely beautiful shop. I don’t work there anymore though because I started my own business with videography & photography

[@Holion5604]

i work in a fabrication shop too, do almost the exact same thing as you do. but with a little music you made your life look alot more epic than mine. lol

[@VandeeTV]

Haha I was surprised how this video turned out too 🤔 I should do another because it’s been a couple years and I’m at a different shop now

[@juice8057]

Cool video. I just started my second week of welding school so don't know too much about the trade yet. It's been very fun though; very cool to see what a fab shop looks like!

[@jonathanhafner4934]

5:31 Im feeling that one, when lying on the ground😅😂😂

[@VandeeTV]

Hahaha yup

[@Buddydownroad]

I’m 16 in highschool and I’m very interested in taking this trade. I’d love to learn the skill of welding and want a job that I enjoy, if I’m gonna be working for decades I want it to be something that I like! I’m also quite excited for the salary lol

[@ChillwitCam]

Great job bro just for even wanting to do it… you got the right mindset I pray my son is the same way

[@kingstevo2347]

i am a fabrication welder as well i love leaning new things about welding !!!!

[@Jakethatguy221]

Really dope vid, I’m a stick welder, but I work in a Mig shop. Waiting to get into local 63‼️ the work you do looks like it actually takes skill.

[@VandeeTV]

Thank you so much! Yeah I know welding takes skill but after you get good at it , it feels like your a robot and you could teach a monkey to do your job hey? Hahah I know that’s how I felt anyways .. but yeah it definitely takes a lot of work but the feeling I get when I finish editing a video and watch it thinking to myself “damn I made that “ is a really good feeling , just like how we would look at a finished project and think “ damn I fabricated that “ lol

[@panther7584]

Thank you for the video! I'm interested in taking this trade after leaving cabinetmaking, looks more fun! I took intro courses, safety courses (fucking expensive but they are required by welding union in my city for better wage). I noticed you decided to follow your passion instead of working, whatever it is, I hope you found and am still holding that!

[@VandeeTV]

Thanks so much for that I really appreciate that. I started a videography business !! I am going to start uploading more videos soon. It is really fun work and I do miss welding some days. Again I appreciate your comment

[@cathycurrent1180]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I was recently accepted into a welding program, and was glad to see your video since you were working in a shop. I read that many welders travel for work. Can you tell me if this is a personal choice, or a requirement? I’d rather stay at home if at all possible. Thanks!

[@VandeeTV]

Depend on what kind of welding , pipeline welding ? Shop fabricator? Field fab ? If your just planning on getting a shop job you will be fine but pipeline welders and field fabricators are almost always on the move/in camp

[@cathycurrent1180]

Thanks so much!

[@KavusHabibi]

I'm 29 years old...is late for me to learn welding? is it good career? I've always liked work with iron

Is there good money in welding? And if so, how long do you have to be in the field before you start making good money?

Not long before your making good money , you can get a job sweeping the floor of a welding shop for $18-$20 an hour and slowly learn from there how to weld. Once you can weld and pass your CWB test your a certified welder

Can someone get back to me whenever u can. But how hard is it to make 30 plus an hour as a welder. I saw that there are some huge companies that pay a lot. But that’s prolly not where I’ll be. So is it u heard of for someone young to get a job welding somewhere for 30 plus an hour?

[@VandeeTV]

You have to start somewhere, get hired pushing a broom for $20 Hr then maybe the boss will see potential if you work hard and teach you how to weld or if you know how to weld after pushing broom for a while show him your work ! Gotta work for it.
