I could listen for hours listening to old timers. They have the smartest, most entertaining stories, those stories can take you back to an era that will never be reproduced.

I must say Andy looks great for 73. I wouldn't of guessed he was that old, i would of thought he was in his late 50's at the oldest. I think its great that hes out there being active and getting the job done instead of stagnating somewhere. Looks like a great guy to know and mentor.

Andy is a great man. He was my dad's welding foreman for close to 10 years with Latex. They were some fun times and hard work. Andy and I would go back and do dig ups and spool ins if needed. I was with him in Kansas on them dig ups. I will always have a lot of respect for him. I never felt like he thought he was better than anyone else, I learned a lot from the old timers like him, coming up watching them.

Andi is the type of person this country was built by; he is a dying breed; those guys needed to be recorded and their storys need to be saved and shared; most of this generation would be screwed if they had to so what that generation did to get by; they earned every thing they got; mommy and daddy gave them nothing I really appreciate you interviewing him do it again soon Thanks for sharing

You ever worked in Pennsylvania? I was a helper had planned on getting my own rig but my body let me down i got asthma to the point i had to stop welding altogether. Chokes me up just commenting about it. I put so much dang effort and $ into it its a hard pill to swallow. But about a year after I stopped welding i could breath again!!! So i went back to being a carpenter what i know and love but i wont never be rich or broke. Keep it up man your channel is great. I loved pipelining and the people i met.

I started welding more than 30 years ago . And I’m only 36 . Dad would let me make big scrap people from drops under the saw . Then I turned marine welder , I worked for American yachts . 18 to 22 . Then I started building all the metal systems in yachts . Brass , bronze , stainless , all the fine and fun metals . Most recently I quit and now I’m a certified hvac contrator licensed in the state of Florida . Where better for ac ? Also commercial refrigeration . I still get to braze weld all the time. Love it . Open flame . It took me years to realize when you sweat that gas torch won’t shock you like a/c tig 200 amps with high freq in the back ground . I jump like it’s gonna shock me still . I got tig in my blood so bad . You will see my welds all over the world and out of this world . I contracted for lenco, Rupp, American yachts , tribute yachts , etc , nasa , D.O.A lures , navy , lures yachts , Armstrong, cgc canvas, Jim Smith boats , broward yachts , verizon yachts , American yachts , to many more to list . I’m an aluminum and stainless boat works junky that switches to being an hvac contractor. Hopefully I can do less with my back and more with my brain . Now I’ve got into the stock market so good that welding doesn’t seem like the best way to make money any more . But i sure do love my metal work .

I’ve been welding almost a full year now (I know I’d be on the low end of the totem, but you gotta start somewhere), and I’m soon to be NCCER, all of OSHA, and many more certified. My wife and I are going to homeschool our little girl, so it wouldn’t interfere at all if they were on the road with me. Watching these videos gives me true insight as to what life would be out there in all conditions. I’ve already learned so much in the few videos I’ve watched over the past few weeks. Hope they keep’a comin!

Growing up in Louisiana we always had a welder and tanks at the house so I could mess in with them when I needed to weld something or burn something. My older brother got really good at welding and ended up working most of his adult life for fab companies. Also had a uncle that was a pipe line welder and in 1951 he decided to get a job overseas in Morocco and spent 4 years there and then went to Iran for 4 years. One time when I was ,14 my brother decided he wanted to build a small boat trailer and he needed help from me to hold things while he welded them. We did not have but one shield and of course he needed it so I just did not look and I must have looked quite because that night I woke up and I thought someone had poured sand in my eyes. The next morning I had to go to school to register for the 9th grade and my eyes were hurting and tearing up and everyone was looking at me wondering what I was crying for. LOL. Andy said he worked overseas. Could you ask him where and what years? He might have known my uncle.

Before anyone decides to go into the pipeline welding, they need to look at this video, reminds me when I worked offshore out in the cold weather then in the summer you end up burning up with all that extra clothing on you and just these weather conditions alone that you have to deal with keeps you from enjoying welding when compared to weldingin a f nice warm shop in winter time, its working conditions like this that welders ought to take into consideration that would cause them to give serious thought more so to go in business for their self and build their own shop and work on their own property where they can stay warm during the winter and stay cool during the summer, working in a shop being able to take breaks when you want to and not having somebody else tell you what to do when to do and how to do it

Great music in the video; nothing sounds sweeter than an ol '63 200. A guy had bought a '63 SA 200 and leased it to a refinery in Eldorado for a year. The guy had died and his wife wanted to sell it. Dad paid $700 for it in '64 and it didn't have many hours on it. It's great getting to hear the stories from Andy and look forward to more in the future. I agree on Devon making a smart move, sometimes you have to take a step back in order to go forward.

I'm a structural ironworker of 24 years. I'm getting on to the older side young n I'm tired of humping my weight in tool's on my back. I've got most of the tools, I'm 3 , 4, and as of a year ago I got my 6G cert. I've been trying for a long time to get on the pipeline. With no luck. I have no problem with starting out as a helper. I actually prefer too. Being that I've never worked on a pipeline. Anyone have any advice ?? Fort Worth Texas here.

Word of advice about Union benefits. KEEP good records . DO NOT THROW OUT ANY CHECK STUBS or direct deposit info ever . Save all of that stuff till you retire . Stuff can get lost when you depend on a third party . The main pipe line local in Canada is UA local 488
