INSTRUCTING AT THE NEWEST PIPE WELDING SCHOOL (STUDENTS WELD THE FIRST DAY)

[@cuteface88]

Ah man those guys are lucky to have you teaching. That must be fun.

[@arosswelding]

I sure enjoyed it.

[@u15Gummi]

My daughter has taken welding all 4 years of high school. She will come out with a basic certification and already has her OSHA10 card from the program as well. Pretty neat that they offer that stuff now. She is being recruited by the Tulsa welding school, she has to choose between welding, and veterinary school; she has a big decision to make this spring.

[@ClaytonHartin]

My high school that I went to had welding classes, Welding 1, Welding 2, and Welding 3. If you got a A- or greater you earned college credits to Blackhawk Technical College welding course.

[@odinsbeard1117]

Man those booths are awesome! You have room to spread out and stretch and get comfortable. I really dig this approach. A very experienced welder who did this type of work told me that if you can learn to weld round the rest will fall in place.

[@cecilhomola5861]

Was good meeting you there at Western Welding Academy! Tyler is truly a gifted teacher. Hope to see more videos come out of this exceptional school!

[@andrewtiefry5990]

I enjoy watching people go for there dreams in the welding field. I'm a master diesel mechanic that does alot of structural repairs on large equipment. But I have never welded pipe before but looks like a blast watching you guys do it. Keep it up as there are people getting inspired by your videos

[@klaychesham1791]

That is sooooo awesome man. I bet you had a killer time. I love when I get the chance to get down to south coast welding academy and spend some time with the students, they are so keen to learn and so appreciative of any little help you can give them. You are a good man Austin 🤙🏻

[@thomasasix1884]

I like the classroom first. That's what I went through when I went to school. Safety, how to setup your machine,...etc. I say this from experience. Later I went through apprenticeship and we went straight to the shop and I have seen guys struggling (especially when you have 10+ guys and 1 teacher).

[@johnfrancis9615]

I’m not sure you will ever see this but I have watched your videos for a while now, it influenced me to get into welding and I chose Pennsylvania College of Technology for a bachelors in welding and fabrication engineering. It’s a state of the art facility, there are a few videos on the college KZbin page, and the college offers a bachelors in welding and fabrication engineering and two associates degrees, also a minor in NDT. If you’re ever in PA it’s worth it to come check it out, pretty impressive stuff! Love the videos, has me itching to graduate!

[@markthegunplumber8376]

I spent 4. years learning welding in High School. Fortunately we had a great Vocational program because I was not a school work genius. Our school had an Auto Shop and a Wood Shop also a Hydraulics and Pnuematics class, we Had a welding Shop and a complete Machine Shop. We had at least 6. 14x40 lathes and a few 16x40 or larger we had Bridgeport Mills and a Shaper and a Power Hacksaw and a complete Gas Forge with a few 300# anvils and tons of tongs and different hammers. We welded lots of pads and then the teacher would have us put them on the shaper and look for porosity and slag pockets etc. I loved it and became a teacher aid and then went to a community college and finished up my certs there. It's a crying shame every school doesn't have such programs like that for kids like me that in my case suffered from Dyslexia and ADHD. I sucked at school work but excelled at wood and metal and hydraulics and pnuematics. All our equip was old navy battleship stuff our teacher was an Old Greek bridge welder. we did tons of projects around the schools and serviced the teachers cars for a cheap price to keep us in welding rod and gas and steel etc. We also had a construction class that built projects at the schools we built a new pool house etc and we also had an auto bogy and paint class and paint booth. good times, now that i'm retired i'd love to go back and relive those days. I spent 24 years working in the oil patch building mud pumps and generator skids and accumulators and mud tanks and we did it all in house.

[@marchejl2924]

Im in welding school right now. On tig process at the moment once i get through all the positions ill be moving on to pipe. I cant wait!!

[@collegefootballfan7909]

I love to see more students learning and burning like this. Brings back memories when I was in high school and college. That looks like really awesome school.

[@Thanatosx113]

I wish I was able to have the experience of a great welding school like this. The school I went to just through you into the shop and let you do whatever.

[@dallasgearsgodpettman1941]

Man I wish my welding school had massive booths like that. It would make all the difference when you’re trying to learn

[@kenyanr1]

I'd love to see a tutorial on stick, vertical up, on flat plate, with arc shots. Lotta videos showing vertical laps and t-joints, but not many on flat plates. Thanks

[@ARstyle2189]

Ive been doing the facilities/industrial side since I started, about 12 years ago. Ever since I stumbled across your videos, I am extremely intrigued in pipeline. Not a ton of experience with down hill, but I would love to get into your side of the world one day.

[@powderflint]

Great show for people that are thinking about trying to start a good career !

[@austinwinkles3146]

"Idk who's pink bag that is" lol

[@cgking2349]

Hey Austin! Got word the Buckeye express in Ohio and part of WV is about to kick off! Me and the ole pops is headin out in the next few weeks to start clearing, the right of way is gonna be 150-200 foot wide! Hope to see you on the job because it’s Union of course but anyway keep up the good videos man

[@austinwalker6448]

I was the same way when I started welding I never took a break or went to lunch

[@beanDoggins]

Did u eat anything? Cus eating is also important

[@thomasasix1884]

Sometimes it's better to step away and refocus.

[@Wildknives69]

I'm going to school soon I was a aluminum Tig welder for almost 4 years till covid I decided now is the time to go back to school and I'm very excited

[@youknoweverything7643]

I like teaching hands on immediately no school class work just welding and teach hands on and fundamentals as you progress in class

[@jeromeb5929]

Beats most welding booths I’ve welded in. Local 12 Plumbers & Gas fitters much love.

[@Slydro]

Shout out from Southern Wyo! I work at Sinclair refinery in Sinclair Wyoming, all of my welders are running their own rig with split checks.

[@welderdude1]

That's a great way to teach. Hands on practical application is the best way to learn.

[@chrisoedekoven6585]

I wish I would’ve seen this when it was first posted! I could’ve met you. My phone never notified me like it was supposed to!

[@maryparvin3041]

i worked for flint steel in memphis back in the 60's they were out of tulsa ok and when i went in the army,they had moved west of west memphis by the time i got out,we made pressure vessels that went to the oil fields in texas and ok,the last ones i worked on were sent to west texas,it took 5 flat cars to move one tank.they were 18 feet in diameter and the shells were rolled outta 1 inch plate steel,i would run the seams inside if needed and would run the outside seams.we could stay inside the tank all day welding the seams.we would use 5/32 and 1/4 wire with flux in a hopper that run out over the wire.all the seams were x-rayed

[@deanreinke1148]

We do terminal facility piping. Fabricated in Green Bay, WI. Installed in Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas. We also fabricate and install piping for Navy vessels.

[@lildevildog8163]

I’m a structural welder and sometimes pipe depending on the job and I just got my step son on welding with us, he’s welded a little in high school so I been able to work with him at home... And now on days he’s not in school he’s at work welding with me, not so much vertical or overhead jobs that’s for me lol but he’s getting there and a great start for a awesome career for him

[@ucangeorge]

You're awesome Bro! I admire pipe welding and I would love to get a physical experience from you but our way is too long. 😂

[@ronniewilliz153]

Man the content in this vid was amazing. Great teaching skills i learn so much more when its hands on an not like you had to do spend 2 weeks before you ever touch a machine. Mad props on tyler an his school mad props to both of yall. 👊👊👍💪😁💯

[@GA_countryboy]

I enjoy watching your stuff Austin. I went to tulsa welding school in Jacksonville I didn't get to finish cause of living situations and finances. I made it to phase 4. I didn't really get the hang of welding pipe. I guess I need more time behind the hood and practice. But I'm also an Electrician. I haven't made up my mind whether to join the IBEW or a welders union or millwright union. I've done it all. Just stuck between rock and hard place.

[@andrewtestin9080]

That's awesome Austin, given back! First Class Facility!

[@PaulJones-bo8gt]

Fantastic video and entertaining as hell I was hooked till the very end.

[@napoleontannerite8452]

My school was like yours we had two weeks of AWS safety test and then we gotta work on AWS along with welding

[@johnhays8708]

I recall my first day at welding class... I started OAW then SMAW, TIG then MIG. I was the eldest at 58...

[@TempleThomas]

Great stuff. Back to school this next Tues for me and I can't wait

[@yanchengqiuable]

Hey Austin Can you teach a lesson about beveling&cutting machine? There is not much detailed video like yours. If you can do that, it would mean people who work in the field. Really appreciate your work!

[@racerjj24]

Great video bud! Awesome that you go help out future welders!

[@DALTray16]

Just found your channel and I love it man! Big thumbs up and I’m now a subscriber! I start school in January and I’m pumped!

[@arosswelding]

Thanks for the sub! That’s awesome! At western welding academy?

[@DALTray16]

Austin Ross, no sir I’m going to Black River Technical college in Northeast Arkansas for Structural steel and pipe welding. I’m 24 years old and very excited to pursue the career in pipe welding. Any video you can recommend for inspiring and learning welder I sure would appreciate it sir.

[@bnbcraft6666]

I'm at a trade school for welding and I just finished my 3rd semester and finished welding stick pipe open-but and I'm going to do a 4th semester and learn tig pipe welding open-but, I ran stringers on pipe and flat plate tig in the second half of my 2nd semester

[@MrMilky927]

Are you planning on transitioning to a full time instructor gig?

[@arosswelding]

No i don’t think so. Not right now anyway. I’m still chomping at the bit to get back on a pipeline job.

[@MrMilky927]

Right on brother, get that money while you can!

[@ryanmullen4482]

God I hate paperwork!! And him putting them in a booth is absolutely great bc I work hands on and seeing and feeling is how I learn this guys got it right the best way to learn is from experience and time burnin rods

[@davidgarcia4804]

Bada$$ vid!! Great job man!! Keep em coming’

[@jacobflores7621]

That’s cool. I went back to school. Looking to get a degree in welding technology and get in front of the class to teach. Gotta look forward to the future.

[@rcs368]

Pretty funny, brings back memories. Remember how exciting it was when you first learned? Really like what your doing hand! Also curious about the pod cast?

[@arosswelding]

It’s still in the plans

[@STARMedic28]

Excellent video... Thanks for getting the information out!!

[@joshpedersen2646]

The video really makes me want to graduate high school already so I can start my career in welding

[@ramirezcarlos323213]

I start welding school tomorrow, pretty excited 😁

[@youknoweverything7643]

I have also taught a few welding classes tk highschool seniors and they can co.e straight out of highscho and have a job at shipyard as second class welder not a helper but a welder at 21 a Hour if you complete the all of the school g it's at night as well for 4 hours every night except Wednesdays for church and weekends

[@mikeymoney8676]

If your not a combo welder it’s gonna be hard to stay busy all year around gotta know gmaw smaw gtaw fcaw

[@FIGGY65]

Austin, Thank you for all of the enthusiasm for the craft with all of your videos and content. Might you have any particular videos (that I may have missed) which address the plant/process/refinery fields ? This was a good video. Thank you, and stay safe and be blessed, Shawn in California

[@arosswelding]

No I haven’t talked much about this work yet.

[@FIGGY65]

@@arosswelding Thank you Sir 👍

[@johnathanfernandez3672]

Not gonna lie watching these videos makes me wish my second semester would hurry up so i can get welding

[@kittierockwelding1386]

Man Im waiting too. I miss the smell of the lab! I get up w attitudes since Ive been out.

[@johnathanfernandez3672]

Dominique Shelton ive never welding other than just messing around and this year im taking welding next semester at school and im taking it senior year

[@pipeline_hank5277]

Lol I was just in Douglas today, and now I’m in North Dakota

[@joshuacarreon9464]

You need to start your own school Ross.. I'd sign up!

[@ethandavis1230]

Welcome to Gillette! That’s where I live I currently work on a oil rig

[@jbone4217]

I'm seriously thinking about starting welding school really soon near me at arclabs in hanahan south Carolina. I'm thinking October start...little nervous

[@Ezdubs542]

Wow such a nice place... way better then the school I started at lol

[@osbaldohernandez9174]

Dude I heard that school so awesome everyone recommends it

[@benabusthethird9751]

I am pumped to get started in a welding career, however there are no training academies near me (UK) :(

[@noahbyrd5096]

Man I’m going to the Sheridan Wyoming welding school this year I’m pretty sure that it’s another division of the Gillette school

[@WizeGuyGamingandMore]

I love your videos and I saw this one and thought it would be interesting and you were in my hometown!!! What do you think of BFN Wyoming?

[@teejayegene4984]

Do a video on tig welding

[@TurninNBurnin]

Really cool experience! Great video man.

[@homerceballos4030]

That pink bag was yours...could all see it next to the truck

[@mattparks11]

When do you plan on upgrading your welding rig? I know you mentioned it one time about wanting to get a truck with a bigger fuel tank

[@gabewhisen3446]

Coffee has no affect on me anymore, and I used to love that boost

[@chuckmiller5763]

You need to drink even more in your case.

[@ronniewilliz153]

Or source some better coffee lol espresso or cuban coffee is fire

[@ronniewilliz153]

I use to put a scoop of espresso in the pot of coffee before i would brew it.💥🚀🔥

[@LifelessGaming]

wish my shop looked that good

[@DavidRamirez-ob1kt]

Damn I wish my school had booths this big the ones we got are real small wouldn’t be able to turn around with a hard on

[@wyzurd]

Ours at Northern Michigan are like 2 feet wide -_-

[@jaydenc257]

Looks like a nice shop

[@robertoobregon3750]

Going to school, any school the lecture part can be boring. Some people are good at the lecture part and some are not. To me the learning begins with the hands on. Then the real learning begins on the job. On the jobsite there are a lot of safety rules and procedures that you may not get taught in school. Then there is all the environmental conditions. It takes decedication to learn the techniques of welding pipe. It's like sports, some are natural athlete's and some need coaching. That's great having a more hands on school.

[@melgross]

In my experience, it’s best to show how to weld before throwing someone a stick and saying “Go forth and weld, I’ll show you how to do it later.”

[@stillirise505]

Love that campus

[@MC-hs4mf]

Dont worry no guy will steal your pink luggage, lol.

[@gabewhisen3446]

Don't bet on that

[@benabusthethird9751]

I want to get into welding but I am finding an issue finding training here in the UK. It's unfortunate.

[@troycfh]

You should come down and show me some stuff at school sometime. I'm not too terribly far from you lol

[@youknoweverything7643]

[@edwardkennedy5500]

You would be a great instructor

[@Chiefs1582]

[@alphadog6114]

Does WWA have job placement? Will the pipeline program give me an advantage vs just applying as a welder out of a community college?
