Welding Inspector Rant - HOW To Get More Money!

What should a young welder do coming out of school. Tips and tricks on showing up on your first day. And what is expected from the older more experienced welders.
I hope you enjoy it. #weldingrigtour #weldingrig
This is my journey to welding pipe. Welder motivation. You can do it any of us can do it. You just have to sacrifice a little bit it to gain a lot. Welding pipe really saved my bacon. I hope this helps somebody have a great day!

Is that a two-way over there next to Victor's nameplate? We get an annual raise plus a bonus based on company profits and it's substantial. This is allowing me to put away money for retirement and to set up my welding shop. You're the real deal-too many know nothings and "hey learn with me" channels. There are a few good welders with field/fab experience and a sane channel, and you are one. Product pushers the rest of the lot.

Real talk Chris. Good practical video as always. Tried commenting on that last millscale video but i guess it never posted. I agree with everything, especially that inspectors should be welders/retired. Always good information portrayed here, everyone new to the field or young guys should pay good attention, the videos on this channel are real life, real talk. I've welded nuclear shutdowns, bridges, pipeline, compressor stations, everything between. I just turned 30, been at this since I graduated high-school. So for the young guys just coming into it, pay attention, humble yourself, and listen to the guys on your jobsite like Chris who been around the block. The experience passed down is invaluable. See you on the next one man.

Brother you’re just killing it. Thanks for spreading the word and reeling the future welders in. Also thanks for not faking the funk!!! A lot of this channels and schools are selling a fake dream. There is no other way to learn other than make the mistakes and learn what we can get away with. One question? How the heck do you have all this time to make videos on the daily. This is so time consuming. I don’t think people understand the thought process to make such informative videos. Like I said before, we can make a video if you’d like, and I can teach you how to record the puddle. Salute brother. And stay blessed.

[@ryanpaquette9929]

I’m a structural welding/bolting inspector as well as other structural certifications concrete testing, masonry etc. I got my first certification at 19 and I’m 28yrs old now. Never had a welding career before hand. I’ve done lots of commercial buildings, custom homes and more. Experienced welders are very prideful in their work and rightfully so. Most of the time they really do understand the process and what needs to be done to get the job completed. I will say though that’s not always that case as I’ve come across individuals that claim that’s the way they’ve been doing it for 20+ yrs and it’s not always what’s up to code or they don’t know how to read plans… As an inspector you have to have to understand our point of view that our job is to make sure everything meets qualified procedures and approved plans. When something god forbidden happens in a structural failure it’s our butts that have to answer to why it was not done up to code/plans. We have a career and a future to look after as well. 99.99% of the time I get along with every millwright/welder on the job and we all understand we’re just doing our jobs. Plenty of times I know I annoy them with little things here and there but that’s just me making sure my company does not have anything come back to us down the road. Really respect what you do, your channel and bringing us all incredible information on Financial Fitness. I found you through Ninja and super happy i did. Keep it up we all appreciate it!

[@TaylorWelding]

Thanks brother. I really appreciate it. There’s no doubt we need inspectors. I’m just not cut out for it. I really never had a problem with any inspector to be honest with you. I just try to get along. But every now and then they come up with some annoying stuff And a few really enjoy enforcing it. If you know what I mean. Thanks man it means a lot

[@GalatinAcres]

Hey Chris great video thank you brother!

[@TaylorWelding]

Thank you for watching and taking action

[@jamesali447]

I agree with you on the idea that you must have been through being a welder/fitter/fabricator before becoming a welding inspector. I have been welding and fabricating for 18yrs now and just became a c.w.i. 4yrs ago but I want to say that just because someone has been welding for 25yrs doesn't mean that they are a good welder. Facts ! And the same for a welding inspector, it doesn't mean he's a good top of the line inspector. Our job is to uphold the code standards and report our findings along with the n.d.t. testing we do. So if we tell a welder their stuff looks like crap and to fix it then it needs to be done. The code allows for a a lot of tolerance when laying beads and the profiles but we are just trying to make sure we sign off on quality work that will eventually be something your family or mine will be staying in or crossing a bridge that I signed off on saying your welds were sound.

[@beejaejackson7834]

Once you get your huddle going I’ve never had a problem with welding through mill scale! I typically only grind It off if I want it to look pretty.

[@sparksandchips]

Agreed, I went into quality assurance after 30+ years of a combination of welding, machine work, tool and die, then a sales engineer to go after new work for my employer and be able to look at customer drawings to eval and say yes we can do this. Now as a quallity/warranty "engineer" for the auto industry all of that culminates into the job I have now. So yes, inspectors should be either retired tradesman or in the latter part of their time on the job. Good topic Chris!!!

[@cdrom1070]

man I think that electrolytic cleaners are more then capable of cleaning mill scale. It needs some work when its greasy. But carbon fiber brushes with phosphoric acid break down the mil-scale to a layer mere thousandths of an inch thick (3 strokes with a old brillo pad), so long its not greasy. Experiments that used my own DIY alkaline cleaner on a carbon brush, followed by the acid cleaner, showed me that you can get rid of ALOT of greasy mill scale fast and clean with this setup. I feel like there is a small process problem right now because of grease, but that its possible to use the correct tools to clean mill scale fast with safe chemistry to get rid of TONS of grinding.

[@TaylorWelding]

You're right about Grease! It's the worst

[@cdrom1070]

yeah but I found the sodium hydroxide carbonate mix on a carbon brush (all you need is a threaded brass rod and one of those brushes, 3/8-28 works for a 10mm chinese one, with a lug on the other side. when you go over the rusty stuff, the alkali mixture will get rid of the red rust and leave the black rust in place. but then you rinse it, and use the brand name electrocleaner, and it gets rid of it pretty good. If you just use the brand name electrocleaner it ends up super spotty and its rather slow at removing mill scale thats substantial. 10VAC is enough, the brush resistance is roughly 1/2 a ohm, plus maybe 0.05 for your wiring.. if you keep it damp a 12VAC transformer works fine. After your done it leaves a bit of a patina that will come off quickly with very light scrubbing with a brillo pad (does not need to be sharp). Stainless steel comes out beatiful form the electrocleaners, but I would say on a moderately dirt piece of mild with the correct voltage/mix it does 90% of the work for you without grinders. just need a drip tray and bottles of either citric or vinegar and baking soda to neutralize the various solutions, plug a third of distilled water. I try to keep grinding to a minimum, I see what happens to people exposed to too much of that dust, ima go out and say that wearing the mask all the time is wishful thinking... ppl need to invent better methods. the alkali seems to do nothing compared to the commercial fluid, but I thnk it gets grease way better then the acid mix. Sounds like a pain but if you get a good drip tray and some good spray bottles it damn better then the grinder or fuckin dip tanks since its fast. I know the vinegar trick but 24 hours lol thats not realistic. u need tactical stuff @@TaylorWelding​

Hello Bryan. Thanks for coming over. Ninja is a great guy

[@stevethomas8700]

I am a welding inspector and have heard this argument 1000 times before and I sympathize with that opinion but IMO its incorrect. Having a history of being a welder beyond making you relatable, and isn't an asset to an inspectors skill set. The knowledge and skillset to pass xray on pipe is not helpful when inspecting thermite welding on rail, or gantry SAW automated systems to weld bulbars on ships or doing a QA review of procedures and certification. So yes it's very frustrating when you run into an inspector who comes from a different background, or maybe they are just bad. We get it too, two of my last QC jobs have had QA and Owners reps inspect 100% and they're CWIs, plus auditors who can come from any background, we get it. But as you said you don't like memorizing codes and procedures, you don't care about metallurgy and your comments indicate you don't care about procedures because you've been "doing it this way for 20 years." So we're required to ensure codes and procedures, because for every idiot CWI you've run into anecdotally, I could match an overconfident welder who's been doing it wrongly for 20 years, and I've got the reports to prove it ;)

you don’t have to have any of that stuff. Just go find a pipe job and take the test.

Tall it like it is bother fillings be dam that what's wrong with people today they wais sugar coated today

[@alaibrahim3826]

hhh what's your problems with inspectors they just do there job , you need to respect the CWB code

[@TaylorWelding]

Sure all of them do their job.

[@petemoore8923]

My dad was an inspector but a welder before that. He told me I should become an inspector. I can farm weld and fab stuff. I told him him, “You’re out of your mind if you think I wanna critique guys and I’ve never been on a real welding job.”

[@TaylorWelding]

I think you would like being a welder better anyway. I’ve never one time in my life Wanted to be inspector

[@neilshahndynasty.8882]

I run inspectors off the job if they are stupid ,I know my job ,been doing it for 27 years.

[@bmc6066]

I’ve seen this kind of welder many many times before in the field over the last 15 years, as an inspector it’s easier to use your pen and not your mouth with these types of “professional welders”.

[@TaylorWelding]

i’ve never had any problems out of an inspector. Unless he was a prick with a pen.

[@FinancialPrepper]

I think I’m gonna make a video about you

[@darylpeterson4626]

You show a complete lack of knowledge about welding inspection. Welding inspection is just that, INSPECTION. It is NOT the Welding Inspectors job to tell any welder HOW TO WELD, that is ABSOLUTELY the job of the CONTRACTOR's SUPERVISION. The Welding Inspector is a trade in and of itself. The Welding Inspector is skilled at identifying DISCONTINUITIES and then quantifying them based on Code or specification acceptance criteria. This DOES NOT require that we inspector be an "Expert" welder. If you can't make a acceptable weld, it is NOT the inspector's fault.

[@TaylorWelding]

Your a dork!

[@nodriveknowitall702]

I'm not a welder or inspector here, but I do work on things for a living. It's easier to notice problems when you don't have to do the work. If it were a situation where lives are on the line, I'd surely rather have someone disconnected from the effort of making sure it's done right, decide when it's right. We've all said, "Good enough."

[@TaylorWelding]

@@nodriveknowitall702 no doubt quality control is needed. I feel as if it should be done by a qualified professional that can actually do the work not just tell somebody that read some thing in a book and took a test

[@ryanschultz8377]

Thank you

[@calebc6028]

Its my opinion that welding schools use grinding to save money on materials and how much time you spend welding, everywhere ive welded structrual forsure we just ran beads over milscale. even on pipe in water treatment plants!

[@TaylorWelding]

Yep! All these guys that are grinding the mill scale off aren’t really welders I’m afraid. There’s a time and a place for that maybe on a test or something but in real life… They will run you off for taking too long

[@mashed-out]

Follow the Codes and work with the good inspectors.

@@TaylorWelding and so are you :). I have a masters degree but unfortunately I can only push paper around in terms of real skills :). So the topic of learning a craft has been lingering around for a while now. I am going to pay attention to this channel as a starter.
