    I am a 67 year older man, and I did exactly this. It was very satisfying erecting red steel, standing on a spud wrench waiting for a piece to be lifted in by huge cranes, shooting drift pins into holes, hammering bull pins with my four pound beater, looking after my partner, listening to the cling klang of my connecting bar rattle against my two spud wrenches, and when moments allowed my mind to think I was a little kid with a Giant mechano set. It was the most exilliorating feeling. To all those who do this work You Are Awesome. 🍁🍁🍁

      HI there...so I have a question. I see these guys do this initial fix...couple of bolts in. I guess there is then a second team that comes along and puts the rest of the bolts in and fixes everything to spec?

      @smoothjay1979 Год назад +4

      @@GavCritchley You guessed correctly. The raising gang puts all the pieces in place. Then you have the detail crew come through. They will stuff holes that don't have bolts. They will rack the structure from the ground up. Making sure everything is plum and true. They will do all the welds that need to be done. We will also snap every single bolt with a lajune gun. There is a lot more that happens, but you'd have to get up on the iron and find out for yourself.

      Im a skateboarder from the more flatland/experimental area aswell just normal tricking stuff.. so I really can imagine the balance. But the balls they have I will never fit into my imagination. Its must be a childhood-thing when the fascination for something like this starts. Climbing too high too often results in this. I remember when I jumped down a tree 27ft, just on a small pile of branches and I went higher when there's sand or while at a waterpark.

    This brings back many memories as I hung iron for many years starting as a young man. Many people would watch in amazement and ask how do you do it. I would say when you are young it was a challenge and satisfying after a long day looking at what was hung after a day. Yes the iron was hot and bolt bags were heavy with spuds,bullpins and beaters. Some would ask about walking beams and I would say this is when you were a kid you could walk on a railroad rail forever without falling off,,,right? Raise that rail ten feet off the ground now you are thinking about if I fall off Im going to split my skull. yeh different perspective. It takes a strong minded spirit and a can do mindset to hang steel. Watching this vid and the guys in it talking the same old BS we did makes me smile.Also happy to see safety harnesses used. We did not use a lot of safe practices back in the day,fun and challenging back then although stupid when I think how it was. Yes having a good connecting partner matters, knows how to bolt and use of a spud/ bull pin fast. These guys have it. Much respect boys and stay safe brother.

      I’m a second year apprentice out of local 44 in Cincinnati. I was absolutely terrified of heights when I first started out. The key to beating the fear is trusting your safety equipment. Learn how to use it the right way and as long as you’re tied off correctly, you aren’t going to die. You might fall but the equipment will catch you. My first day, a forth year could see that I was visibly shaken up by the heights we were at, (we were bolting up off the steel at 95 feet). He taught me how to correctly tie off with a Beamer and tie off choker and then did the wildest thing I’ve ever seen in life. He reset his Beamer, streched about 4 feet of cable out of his retractable and threw himself off the beam. Everything worked correctly and he fell about 6 feet. I was scared shitless but after he pulled himself back up and was obviously completely fine, we had a laugh, smoked a cigarette and got back to work. He taught me a few more things that day, like how to control the wobble of a beam, how to use a bull pin, how to use a wrench or sleever bar as a step on the side of a column and how to measure for correct bolt size. He topped out in June that year and is one of the closest brothers I have in my local. As for myself, I’ve been a connector for about a year. The shit that used to terrify me, is now what I look forward to getting to do everyday. We build the biggest monuments to man, on the biggest stages in the world. It’s what we do and who we are. We’re ironworkers and we don’t die, we go refill the bolt bags and get back to the top.
