Carhartt specifically says not to weld in their stuff. It has zero fire protection.

If I'm not mistaken i ran into you at a speedway in Fairplain WV. Your truck looks familiar. The majority of the pipe is in the ground here. Hinkle and Myer was the contractor doing the job. That's my hometown that the line went through.

[@m6ndohernandez339]

Hey austin do welders helpers ever weld working in pipeline

[@ThatDudePie]

M6ndo Hernandez short answer, no. Only certified welders who pass a test and receive a stencil are allowed to make critical welds. If you are working on non-critical structure, sometimes you can run a few beads under close supervision of a welder or weld boss. But most times that would also be a no.

I’m loving these videos man. I’m a helper and they have helped me so much i really want to break out one day and start welding. I want to get into the union how would I go about doing that? Thanks man

[@arosswelding]

I’m glad the videos have been helpful. You start by filling out and app on line. Defiantly gotta have that. But without knowing anyone that would give you a good referral it may be a while before you get a chance on a job. I would suggest getting any welding job or helper job union or non union just to start your network. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJO8fJZpbr6FY7c
