Started welding at a business here in my hometown in Missouri at 12 years old. 18 years old right now and still employed for the same man. Headed to welding school this fall then it's off to pipeline work.

welding is already hard to get a perfect weld. Then you factor in you lying on a bed of rocks upside down. Spray falling in your face. In the cold. And still it needs to be just as perfect at the one done on the welding table......YOUR THE MAN

We didn't have the trained labor force here in WV to do our own work when the pipeline was booming, so people came in from all over the country. Now that things have slowed down bigtime, we should have a lot more WV people out there, but unfortunately these companies hire their friends and family first and locals only get scraps.

Quick question, what's it like having someone else grind your welds? I'm not a fan of having any one grind out my welds, unless I've had a fitter with me for awhile. Do you tell your helper how you like your root or hot passes ground out before you start with them, or do you see what they do before you say anything. I'm not a pipeliner local 9 nj here just curious.

So this is totally irrelevant to this video but the question I have just popped into my head as I watched this particular one ..( I've watched about every one of your videos I think lol) so question I have is would you consider a making a video on your personal opinion on women pipeline welders. How many if any have you come across if any and how are they treated as far as on the line.. I'm very curious your over all thoughts on it. Would u encourage women to go for it and if so any specific tips for women going into the pipeline as a beginner ,no experience wanting to run her own rig one day ? Thank you SO SO MUCH your info and opinion is valued greatly. Keep up the videos
@arosswelding5 жыл бұрын
I will take note a video around this topic. But right off hand, I would def say go for it if your interested. I’ve known about a handful of women rig welders. Several women helpers.
@wvjeepguy8178 Жыл бұрын
Most guys hate working around women on the pipeline because you have to worry about everything you say. If one of em overhears a dirty joke they don't like, they can get you fired instantly. It makes the whole job miserable, especially considering some women are constantly going out of their way to find drama.
@toddwhitehair33784 жыл бұрын
Hi Austin I never see you chip the slag off your welds. Does it just fall off as your welding????????? I have seen it where the slag does just practically fall off or peel off the welds. Is that the case here? I was just curious. I really like your videos !! Especially since we live in the gas well and pipeline area of Ohio.
@arosswelding4 жыл бұрын
No my helper buffs my weld every time I make a pass. Down hill slag will not peel off like 7018. But it still comes off pretty easy if it’s welded correctly.
