Welding Practice Why Practice Before A Welding Test

About Us.
Welcome to Schofield welding I am Jake Schofield. We are a traveling Welding Family. We chase all kinds of welding work through the United States. Mostly oil and gas work. Which includes Pipelines,Facilities and Fabrication. I travel With my Wife Eliza Schofield our son Baylin Theo Schofield and our two dogs Ace and Itty. Sit back while we bring you along into our world of living full time in our 38 foot fifth wheel traveling from welding job to welding job. Building Welding Beds bbq pits and anything else we can think of out of metal, and of course making money. Be Blessed
it is so important in my opinion to be the very best you can be in the welding industry. that being said you need to practice before welding tests. In this episode we are going to mock up some 6g welding tests and run through them just like we would if we where at a testing location. hope you guys enjoy be blessed

[@georgewesleytanner]

Let’s all just admit we all wanna be as relaxed and comfortable as this guy when burning rods 😂

[@JacobSchofield]

haha Thanks George.

[@trentjohnson7246]

Yep that would be awesome.

[@JacobSchofield]

Sorry everyone I know the music is a little louder and the wind is freaking annoying. That’s why the music is a little louder. I tried turning up my voice in the edit but it wasn’t happening. Hope you guys enjoy be blessed.

[@ronr1702]

Do you keep 90 degrees on the root?

[@melvinmariott8609]

Yeah we had a good take off at the beginning got some major air on that one it was crazy.

[@lovemykids93]

[@SergioPena20]

Damn. The wind took the tent even though the sumbitch was tied to 4 jack stands. Crazy

[@jaminmoody1961]

Good luck to you. Can't wait to see what's going to be next.

[@trophbrwntrouthunter]

Hope all is well man, excited for your videos to drop. I do all light gauge stainless parts for marine app, cool way of saying I weld gps mounts lol. Keep it up brotha

[@codysaganek2148]

Love the videos man always educating the people and showing people how stuff needs to be done right and how practice makes u a better welder in this field #practiceiseverything

[@sergioramirez3328]

Always burn them rods its always good to practice and know this it is instint when you go do your test you know what to do and you control the nerves and remember brother have fun when tour welding be safe and keep on welding

[@brandonbrunner8110]

That easy up blowing away with the jack stands was hilarious. That sucks tho lol.

[@danielo4304]

Never seen a flying Jack-stands...🤣🤣 yeah man I feel you when I'm off I spend time practicing weld tests👍

[@MRTYREMULISHA]

sweet video, awesome to see the hole weld and fit up/tack.

[@tnttransport3465]

Love it. I wish I was there turning and burning with y'all!

[@wadewittman8510]

Awesome tutorial Jake 👍! Some very nice tips. Thanks for sharing buddy 👍 🇺🇸

[@garyteague4480]

I enjoyed the pipe cutter also

[@SnoPro989]

Hell yeah! I love the ISOC shirt man! I used to race the series up until last march! Also what do you do to your bed to make sure you dont fry electronics on your truck when you weld off it? I'm gonna be building a bed in the next few weeks here and have always wondered about that

[@hayyarbrough]

Thanks for the video and explaining everything...👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@markstevansen542]

I only weld with my everlast for a hobby and it doesn't take very long before I forget good habits and lose my timing. You have some really good advice there.

[@bigwhisky4676]

Good advice on grinding a valley on the upper side of the cap especially when you use 7018. Great video but did not film The left-handed side. Keep up the good work

[@TheParaplegicPA]

Another banger video Jacob👌🏻👌🏻

[@herbertherbomoore415]

I like monday morning when you're showing welding in the background.🤣😝😂

[@sargentslaughter3509]

Hopefully things will get better and work is available. With all the silly stuff that's going on good luck my friend.

[@JacobSchofield]

Thanks brother.

[@tynakai8870]

anyone know the song from when they start cutting and grinding

[@bradparker5869]

Can you tell me about your roll out wheel? Did you you make it or purchase it.

[@patrickcagle2553]

Hello my friend. I have a recommended song for you to check out. The name of the song is Milestone by the band Nonpoint. To me it relates to my career goals. Thanks Thanks for your videos. God bless you out there! Sincerly, Patrick Cagle

I will look into thank you

Good job..

[@dannielmanning6160]

Can we get a new bed walkaround

[@candu9]

"Why practice before a welding test?" No need for real welders to practice. Welding each and every day is enough "Practice" for anyone. What the hell is this? Any welder worth his mettel should be able to rip out a test and show up at work on time the same day. Do they really pay you guys?

[@JacobSchofield]

Hahaha have a good day hope you feel better now that you went on your rant. Be blessed

[@frostgfx]

Jacob: New welder (home) Is it worth the money to pay for Grade RM versus Grade R (Acetylene only) 1/4" x 50'. Recommended brands for rubber hoses.

[@demethrey]

What brand of shirt is that???

[@sergioramirez3328]

By the way love you welding jacket its bad ass its all good custom made

[@gurjindersingh199]

I like your beard bro

[@JacobSchofield]

Thank you sir

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

Good stuff man, another solid tutorial. Do you need any certs from API or AWS to get out into the field? Or is everything you do just an employment test? Thanks.

[@Lazybiker60]

SCOTT Allen i might be wrong with oil field, but most contractors in power and shut down industries wont look at the certs you have, they will always test you to their standards, and or have you take their cert tests following the hire in test, this in no ways could be how pipe line does it besides the hire in test

[@ssampson572]

Nice shirt,, lol. Looks like stand with fist from dances with wolves

[@RickAShriver]

Practice or just maintaining the level???

[@JacobSchofield]

Always getting better

[@RickAShriver]

@@JacobSchofield Do you need an adapter for rollout wheel to truck???

[@candu9]

Also, what is this "Helper" business? I never had a helper in all my 40 years of welding large diameter steel Pipe. Did everything myself. From Rig set-up to layout, to grinding, cutting, fitting and welding, complete with all the grinding and buffing necessary. You all might want to lay-out a 60" combined two cut miter all alone. Then cut, grind, fit and weld it all in one shift, alone.

[@JacobSchofield]

From the way your messages are coming off I’m taking it, that even if they did offer helpers nobody would want to work with you anyway. A welder helper is a way for someone that wants to learn how to weld to basically apprentice under someone to learn a trade to better there lives. But it Sounds like you didn’t do anything to help anyone?? But congrats on the career. I imagine your still working alone. Have a great day.

[@brandonrosser6254]

What kind of long sleeve pullover is that?

[@ramiroavila5614]

Im currently practicing my 6g as well, just having problems with my cap. What is your method to cap? Hot or cold?

[@victorgalindo6201]

Jacob do you allow welding picture from your viewer's

[@JacobSchofield]

Of course I wount post them usually but yeah for sure. I always like seeing what others have going on. [e-mail]

[@victorgalindo6201]

As soon as I can figure out how to send the picture

What’s the best amperage for a 5/32 cap?

[@TheJsote1988]

Man that shade pop up helps soo much.... lol

[@zabdizelaya2614]

How come you guys dont do side jobs. A good welder is always needed for different things. Structural builds and repairs. I am just starting to get into welding as a hobbie and i see so much potential. I am a carpenter by trade and welding has so much potential

[@JacobSchofield]

Who says we don’t do side jobs?

[@andrewreyes940]

Hey Jake. Could you make a video on RV lifestyle. Maintenance , monthly overhead, RV camps etc. I'm planning on purchasing one in the near future and would like to get a better understanding of what it takes to own and maintain. Also, do you know of any online sources for finding RV camp locations while on the road?

[@jacobwoods7071]

Your hot pass would actually be your filler

[@JacobSchofield]

Yes you could say.

[@charliealiff344]

I was just wondering when you are welding and you're grounded through your truck does that hurt your trucks computer system? Is there something special you are supposed to do other than unhooking the battery? Thanks man really love the videos

[@herbertherbomoore415]

How do you hook up your tig rig to your machine?

[@eliaspuebla9015]

No way did that really get all four jacks holly you know what I’m welding in Colorado and have not seen that wind yet but I’m sheltered a bit

Does the pipeline hire laborers? My dream job is to be a pipeline welder but getting a job with the pipeline has been very hard

Is that welder diesel? Should u get a diesel powered welder for the pipelines?

Diesel is best 👌

Nice video keep up the good work like the way that you show people the way that it needs to be done it makes it easy if you have a good teacher Jacob you have teach that a lot of people it was funny to see the canopy go flying I thought it was going to take the camera out

[@agustinhernandez6094]

Jake bro can you do tutorials like when your on weldtube bro no music just talking and explaining like hjalmar used to do.

[@fittergrips2010]

Renewing the muscle memory and knocking off the rust . When tacking It also helps to feather out your key holes so they are very small to tie into . other wise tip your rod back coming into a big key hole. I've even reversed direction to fill in a initial tack key hole . Keep up the good work Jake

[@pisom4314]

thanks for sharing.. practice makes perfect!!! my dad was a welder, went to Lincoln electric welding school on a scolership (this was in the 40s) I grew up welding & would get so pissed off cause he could listen to the machine & the "bacon frying" sound of the arc & tell me I wasn't doing a good bead!!! LOL looking at it now I can do the same thing.. we went a different way with the plumbing business & do less welding now.. I really miss being able to get out & run a few beads.. a few times a year I will fire the old SAE 300 up & burn a few rods just to see how bad I have got!!! but will pick it back up after a few minutes!!LOL I enjoy you videos keep up the good work!!

A little to cocky for me sweet heart. You keep doing you. Let everybody know you never had to practice and just some how you are good enough to take and pass a test with no practice first time. I call BS. 😂 but for the rest of us no welding welders who couldn’t live up to your standards, great news, I hate water. So you can keep that stuff all you want... and you can get on peoples KZbin channels and keep running your mouth in the comments section.have as much fun as your little heart desires.
