Started out in worm corner. Finally made driller 5, 6 years later. Didn't need no school. Learned this stuff the hard way. 22 years on rigs.

Keep your mouth shut, your eye's open, and listen to what your told and you might live to see tomorrow. That's what I was told when I started working on the rigs. Best advice I ever got!

As I look at y'all's pumps I can't help but to think of Faraday spending this wheel and then one of the other things I use to measure your distance or I tried to understand the inside to outside I looked at Prague clock just to give me an idea of the motion from different depth layers wondering if y'all got all your stuff timed in the orderly rotation together

This is a very strange question. Everyone on the rig is engaged in "Rig Up and Rig Down" lol. The teams that operate the rig on a daily basis set it up and tear it down with the help of crane companies that come in to help raise and lower critical portions of the rig.

LOL and most bookworms are the first to get hurt ! I know after a decade in the field and working from the lead tong position to driller. I've seen blocks dropped, Derricks buckle, and some burn to the ground. I've been on some of the largest Natural Gas Wells in West Central Texas. So seeing bookworms fail was a common thing. Even though there is a hands on experience, it still doesn't take the place of a Real set up and tear down, move and the daily functions. There is a difference when tripping pipe for real and it taking 8 to 12 hrs. to round trip. It's much different than a few hours a day.

I broke out after having gone to college and doing the whole corporate thing for 6+ years. Just got bored of sitting behind a desk. Still haven't been injured *knock on wood* but have had some very close calls. Those close calls, though were the result of either inclement weather or somebody else's mistake (The day I broke out, everything had frozen over. This was TX and we don't have wind walls or anything like that as you know. It was about 10 degrees and every surface was covered in ice.) I slipped leaving the rig floor one day. Ended up at the bottom of a flight of stairs and could easily have fallen from however many stories. I had fellow floorhands slip while we were moving heavy equipment and it narrowly missed me by millimeters. During rig down on a separate rig, a floorhand was up in the manpad and didn't tie off the sledgehammer. He dropped it from the rig floor height. It landed on the BOP which was laid over and ricocheted landing inches away from me and the safety guy who was there to oversea the operation. We had hydraulic lines burst and the top drive drop another several feet. We had our Driller forget that our motorman was tied off on top of the Top Drive when doing some form of maintenance and raise it back up. Injury usually comes in the form of some kind of negligence. or lack of communication. I found that things got sketchy when the "experienced" hands did not communicate well. It wasn't about school education vs not it was about people rushing and not communicating what they were going to do. I'd ask a question and my lead floorhand would literally just grunt and then go try to muscle something by himself.

So you're a "driller" and you've dropped blocks, buckled derricks and had multiple rigs burn to the ground? And you're blaming some ambiguous "bookworm" for it when you have control of the brake handle? These things are not a normal occurrence, most people MIGHT see one of those things throughout a career. To have not only seen it but been on the brake handle for multiple catastrophic accidents is suspicious.
