Ironwork- Connecting A Beam

Connecting steel about 40 feet off the ground🤘🏾

[@DG-uw6wx]

I also used to Connect in the 90's, for Herrick and always had a bolt ready before the piece got there.

[@jacksonboe9120]

The only way

[@isaacatkinson3902]

Exactly. Would have gotten an ear full if that bolt wasn't ready and you weren't already out on the Iron

[@johndavis9508]

And why wat was the point of the shackle , you unchoked it anyway , shackles are 20 ft + chokers

[@jamesgroce9713]

Never seen a connector tote a impact????

[@KernCountyFirearms]

Me either

[@angelcortes-du5ck]

Better to be safe then sorry

[@MassHysteriaHD]

The camera is sick! Must be one of those 360 cams? You should upload more like this man! Im finishing up my structural welding certificate rn. Looking to get into ironworking right after 👌

Very good

[@insanitology]

I don't mean to nit-pick. This is just some friendly advise but try flipping your wrench over. It looked like you pinched your finger a little bit in the beginning and that's because your holding your spud upside down.

[@stoufer2000]

brill, well done you. Looks like a great job and fantastic to see how this is done slightly more safely these days

[@mayneofsteel]

With all the negative comments on this video haha I really appreciate it brother ✊🏾

[@blainespieth3240]

Yh haft to be tied of 100% now lmaoo

[@NistaDGB]

Do these get welded after being bolted in? Just wondering I know nothing

[@mayneofsteel]

@@NistaDGB not these specifically, most beams use TC bolts, they are tightened until the tip of the bolt breaks at a certain tension. I’ve heard basically it tightens the steel together so tight it’s almost like it’s welded. But usually the ones that get welded are connected to the columns, those are usually full pins

A good connector will always be a good connector regardless if he’s union or not, to me this guy’s got a long way before he can call himself connector, he used his spud for the first bolt then fucked his partner by snugging the bolts before his partner even had one in yet.. 😂.
