First day back on a ROW

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

I'm in the middle of the east Texas oil patch. For every welder working there are 10 who aren't. Count your Blessings young man: you've got work when most don't. Remember this: when you've got work there are NO bad days.

[@cbboiii1100]

Anyone out there hiring in East Texas? I'm looking into STX and WTX. Jobs are slowly coming back. I think pipeline work should be a littler better than rig work. Just need to find out how to get on a pipeline

love seeing this comment reminds me of what my instructor told me before graduating im currently out of work in WV so I felt this comment

[@slicklad]

Why I got into the sanitary side of welding. People will never stop eating or drinking whiskey so there will always be work for me.

[@bjen2005]

I think it's fantastic that you and Baylie are able to work together and get along so well on the job. Means you both are very compatible. Both of you be safe

Great video Luis and Baylie! Some questions you may ask is how they got started in this industry and what the weld boss looks for in hiring welders ect. Again, thanks for taking the time to share 👍

[@russelpasamontehabla]

I salute this kind of job. I'm an engineer but I want to be a full-time welder. I just love contributing on construction works like this.

[@repairvehicle]

Looks like tough job, holding in one position for long time. How often do you replace your truck due to high mileage?

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Good helper! All my year's in construction (Electrical) I tell em all the time " learn what you need to do the job properly,then learn what they're all for,then learn how to use them and you'll be solid"

[@bartbley1269]

riprap job in Canada in swampy country .Delimbed logs would be laid down on the ground to travel on or the oil company would wait till winter freeze up for the winter pavement (frozen ground). In leu of riprap welders would take off their skid units off the back of their trucks and the company would load them up on nodwells or foremost's and weld off of them . This would be done with a poor boy crew because it would be slow going . This is where 15 foot grinder cords work well .Skid units would carry welder ,oxy acet bottles ,cable and hose wraps, and a tool and rod box .Texas style rigs are not seen in Canada .Because of terrain and winter conditions for a 3rd of the year

[@Polack-ml9fh]

Thanks for the insight. Been pipeline welding in the US for over 20 years, seen a lot. Grew up on the Canadian border and Always wanted to come up and work a job in Canada. Hope work is plentiful!

[@bartbley1269]

@@Polack-ml9fh Thanks for the reply . Work up here is in short supply and has been for quite awhile covid and a federal Government that are basically enviro Nazis . They have made things almost impossible to do in the patch many many projects have been cancelled . Welding up here one has to go through a gauntlet of government certifications . A 3 year apprenticeship ,then you have to test for a "B" pressure ticket to weld pipe . Now you get to go find a job . On top of that each province has their own certifications to get . Getting in the door with contractors takes awhile to . they have an attitude of just because you have your welding tickets doesn't mean you can weld ,and they usually have their steady eddies . I'm retired now done it for 45+ years and have even done a 70 page booklet on it ,Called tie in tricks and stolen Ideas [e-mail] there is stuff in it you won't find in normal hand manuals

Hi Luis Loya I am currently in school for my welding certs. So far all I've got is My D1.1 SMAW, and GMAW, working on my FCAW going to be moving to Oregon from the military what would you recommend me to get into for welding jobs?

[@brandonthornborough4433]

It's pretty easy to get on anywhere fresh out of school. Company's like graduates that are eager to keep learning. I got a job at the first shop I walked into after school. That first job is also probably going to be the hardest. There's a lot you need to learn that they don't teach in school. Best piece of advice I give people is to listen to the guys who have more experience. You learn a lot from old dogs in this trade and most of us enjoy spreading the knowledge. Also keep in contact with coworkers. That's the best way to keep finding work.

[@bsquadrider]

Cool video, I'd love to have my own rig someday. Why do all the pipeline guys run downhill? Any test or welding blueprints I've done for structural or high pressure boilers always required everything to be ran uphill.

[@Luisloya.12]

The biggest factor is speed (in pipelines), uphill takes longer than downhill but I have noticed recently the use of a downhill/lohi rod that is being used for more heavywall or high pressure pipe!

[@lupejacquez6264]

I've been welding with my own rig about 13 yrs. Gotta say it took me a while because I didn't know many people. But I broke out with a 3/4 ton truck. I bought another, same type. How many single wheel rigs do you see? I'm one of few. Keep up the videos.
