The constant tying off and dragging that choker and lanyard everywhere will leave you exhausted at the end of the day. So glad in my day it was 100% no tie off.

Do you enjoy your career ? And how long have you been doing this for ? I have been a infantryman for 7 years and I want to become a iron worker. Specifically I am very interested in the portion to do with connecting. You guys are the back bone that builds America, this shit is super impressive man

Adam Sheridan Hey there buddy, I know you pasted this a year ago but figured I could add my two cents. I've been a Union Ironworker for nine years now, and I have to say for the right person it's one of the best damn jobs out there. The only problem I've ever had is when work dries up and you find yourself on the bench a little too long. Hopefully by now you've looked into it a bit, but if you haven't look into "Helmets to Hardhats" like Chris said, it's a good program.

I didn't make the video but I'm a union Ironworker so I can tell you how to get into the Ironworkers. What city and state do you live in? There are Iron Workers Union Halls all over the United States and Canada you would have to pick a home local....? My home is local 378 Oakland. You're not going to be a connector when you first start out in the Ironworkers although what they were doing in the video was a very simple pic of a small bar joist which is way different when you're hanging iron floor beams and the big gigantic girders that we connect way in the sky it's a different animal ...We can hang 120 to 200 pieces of iron each day ....structural steel Ironworkers work like dogs every single day....Why? We love it.. Dangerous by choice

Why does only one bolt get put in, does someone come through later to finish?
@beensteppin57625 жыл бұрын
Yes the bolt up gang comes behind them and fills every hole. The cranes are expensive so they like to put enough bolts in the iron to keep it up and keep it moving. Instead of having the x amount of dollar an hour crane waiting on guys to get every bolt in

@randynelson91418 жыл бұрын
Get on google and find your local union for your area, then find out when theyre taking apprenticeship applications, go fill one out and pray for the call. Once you do that youll have a 3-5 year apprenticeship where youll learn everything you need to know. Even apprentices earn excellent wages. You even get paid for the combined 160 hours of classroom time. Youll be a journeyperson

Get a good choker, and tape the mouse back! What local are you? Cool video, but I can really make your job faster, and in my opinion safer. (osha still agrees). Rig the choker over, and threw the ball will a twist. It will pop off. I have done joints/trusses for years. Chi-town old school.
