I think it's late afternoon after a hard 12 hours, and Jake's just trying to unwind a bit if you know what I mean. Nothing wrong with that! Keep em coming Jacob! So many of these young welders are so full of themselves, it's a wonder that they even get a job. For the time spent on the lead, your'e way ahead of most. Stay humble and be blessed.
20 years ago as a welders helper, I watched an old pipe fitter/welder do this. Your only the second person who I’ve seen do it. Nice job and keep up the good work👍
You guys keep up the good work I just been privileged on working for and working around guys much like yourself that's why I watch your videos you're not stuck up you have a good skill you're not overly proud you're learning as you're going in your sharing and I just so happen to got along with some older welders back in the day as much the same they just didn't have a video camera just putting it out there that's how we all going to learn is by sharing and finding new ways one welder told me just another day another dollar he learned something new that day and made some money out of it for his family it's all good be good play well with others look forward to your next video Darren Huffman from the Ozarks
Here in Australia, Carpenters used to use a similar sort of book for pitching roof framing. It's a little red book that will fit in your pocket called Hancock's Roofing Book. If you know your overall span and the pitch you can basically measure and cut your rafters, hips and valleys, creepers, crippled creepers, plumb cuts, bird's mouths, hip and valley plumb cuts all while everything is laid out on trestles on the ground. Not sure if many carpenters use the book these days given how many roofs are framed using prefabricated roof trusses.
Drilling rigs is where you would see one of these. I have only seen 1 made and that was about 10 1/2 years ago on drilling rig. My old boss who is retired now, used to be the head welder/designer for Zenith Drilling back in the 70’s.
Just ordered a copy of that book after my co-worker spent half a day building a rack to hold firewood. He couldn't wrap his noggin around certain concepts that would have made it much simpler. We're machinists not welders.
I just bought the pipe fitters blue book and gonna by the pipe fabricators book, also by graves because, like you, I’m a machinist not a welder/fabricator. 😁👍🏻😂
On a flow line on a drilling rig, is a place where it is used,they hardly buy fittings, especially on a 2am rig call. Shit I just center the little pipe in the big one. Cut banana peels all around. Beat down all around and tack one slice at a time. May need to use the torch a bit to make them fit as you beat into place.
Have you built a eccentric reducer before? I have had to build one only once. Usually places just buy a reducer. They are cheaper then paying us the time it takes to make one, and they are solid. Good job man.
You Jake, I need help in school on pipe,,, btw happy holidays !!.. But I need some advice on hot pass and fill,. What size rod and what,is the,technique for hot pass .,I can't get the pipe,to,fill up flush,
Say my Rosebud but did that too had to take it apart and clean it I used acetone and xylene and an HDX trigger sprayer from Home Depot that HDX trigger sprayers like a dollar 88 it's the only thing I found that will hold xylene that isn't metal anyway mine was brand new pull it out of the box plugged it in and it was defective from the start once I cleaned all the suet and stuff out of it it had no more problems with it say that was a good tutorial on reducer I've never really used anything like that other than on an extremely low pressure stuff and non-production mud tanks frat tanks oilfield equipment like you were saying I've built a lot of headers for stuff like that yeah man that's good old days back then anyway man y'all be safe
Robert Atwood Anytime mine does it ,usually have to change o-rings on rosebud. Bummer because usually I don't have any extra because L forgot and welding store doesn't have any BUT I can have some tomorrow. Haha
There was also a tool, very simple, you'd stick it on the pipe (bottom was a H beam style piece) and from there using the arms on it, it allowed you to mark just about anything you could think of. More modern variants i saw even allow the use of a plasma cutter via a small adapter hook.
Have done this many times. Now, I am told, "That's not a legal fitting to use. You have to buy a manufactured reducer." Same with saddles. For the pressures we used, what we built worked just fine. By the way, we did make templates to speed up the layout. Good video. Enjoyed it. But you probably are in trouble with the CIA and the FBI for your illegal tree stand.
Back when men were made of iron and rigs were made of wood , we used to make pulsation dampeners on workover rig mud pumps etc. or on a nipple up job and you had to make do with what you had on the lease like that. only 2. types of rod were used in those days 5P and 7018 and maybe some Jet if you were making a pitcher nipple and you happened to get hold of some new plate and a nice new casing cut off. as we used to say they're only 2 things we couldn't weld " a broken heart and a torn pu$$y". we used to make all of our own pipe wraps. we'd cut a saddle by hand and make it purdy then make a pipe wrap from a strip of plastic cut out of a 1 gallon milk jug trace around the saddle you just cut on the plastic wrap then cut out the pattern with scissors then write on them with a felt pen what size they were and save them they take up no room and weigh nothing you can rubber band them together. most everything we made back then was make from 2 3/8" or 2 7/8" or 3 1/2 " tubing it was rare if we got any nice new pipe to work with it was always fun to weld on magnetized tubing or drill pipe.
First day as a UA pipefitter apprentice they gave us the black Franklin book. It basically has the same information however its a little thicker and probably has some more details. But I think the blue book is just as useful.
thats right except when you have never done one. wouldnt trust a guy to go be a pipefitter if someone didnt teach you or you have a reference book. pretty sure you have opened a book to learn something.
hey meathead get those tabs GLOWING red hot then pound them into place. that way you won't be "heatin n a beatin" them into place lookin like Fred Flintstone. LOLOLOL. Hey man I really enjoy your videos. Shout out from WA. Local 26. Steamfitters. I see you have Idaho plates on your rig. Hats off to Local 648 Pocatello!!!!! Worked with good hands outta 648!!!!!
Okay first of all back in the olden days yes you had to Bill all of them you did not order a min I learned how to do this on site I can tell you a neat little trick that will speed it up far as your layout goes once you get your four and a half in at the base figure it out and you get your length of your finger figured out you make one configuration of what it's going to look like then you take a piece of cardboard notebook paper and make one simple template lay all your pipe out on the four and a half inch at the base and then go through and liner template up draw every finger out with the template making sure that it is square with your wrap around line double check yourself on the squareness of the finished end of the finger and you should be good to go one thing to note that I was showed is to keep your pipe buckle down level when your heating each finger as you beat it in you should be able to figure out what degree that it needs to be and then you can hold your degree finder roughly on each finger as you bend it and then you can bevel your edges to put your root pass in your hot pass and then your cap and you're all set we talked before enjoy your videos Darren Huffman from the Ozarks
man thats crazy you guys buit those i was playing around just to see if I could do it lol. darren you guys where some tough dudes to have to build all those. thanks for the great tips on laying them out.
Gabriel Garcia no sir it’s the beauty of editing lol. And late nights after work everybody leaves and we stay late because Jed practices and I make videos.

Nice job and keep up the good work👍
I love how you went from "heatin and beatin" to "TADA! DONE!" Subscribed
When running that rose bud keep it angled instead of having it 90° to your work piece and it will stop it from back firing and popping out on you..

We have them in America but their blue and called Swanson blue book

Exactly we make them for pitcher nipples on drilling rigs quite a bit
we make these all the time for are culverts. but ive never seen them done this way. now i have to try it. thanks jacbo
"Where would you use this? (throws hands up) I DUNNO!?!" Absolutely hilarious...lmao
Not sure about US pipe codes, but in Alberta it would only be allowed on low pressure or hydrostatic service. Nothing over 15 psi.
pretty cool man i have never saw this done or even a picture of this before so thanks for showing
you bet man. i was just playing around with itseeing if i could do it.
Love your vids brother
Amazing brother. Thanks for knowledge.😊

We make reducers at the coal plant I work at. Not often. But when you can’t shut down and you don’t have A choice.
see that awesome I never have actually built one to use but I likes laying this one out.
Excelente video gracias amigo.
Yea, really fun little exercise.
On a flow line on a drilling rig, is a place where it is used,they hardly buy fittings, especially on a 2am rig call. Shit I just center the little pipe in the big one. Cut banana peels all around.

7:32 a crown for a king.
That had to have been on heavy duty Christmas tree for that stand.
Doing some homework at work an getting paid for it lol good job.
Have you built a eccentric reducer before? I have had to build one only once. Usually places just buy a reducer. They are cheaper then paying us the time it takes to make one, and they are solid. Good job man.
Jessica Rose this accually the first time I e ever built one. We have never used one on a job but thought it would be a great Christmas tree stand lol
MUITO BONITO PARABENS
PS I am talking into my phone it's late and I'm sorry for any mispronunciation of words or misspelling from Darren Huffman from the Ozarks
You Jake, I need help in school on pipe,,, btw happy holidays !!.. But I need some advice on hot pass and fill,. What size rod and what,is the,technique for hot pass .,I can't get the pipe,to,fill up flush,
man you woukdnt believe it but we just figured out how to record an arc shot. so we will start posting those here shortly and they are really clear.
Awesome
Weave or make"figure 8s"
Say my Rosebud but did that too had to take it apart and clean it I used acetone and xylene and an HDX trigger sprayer from Home Depot that HDX trigger sprayers like a dollar 88 it's the only thing I found that will hold xylene that isn't metal anyway mine was brand new pull it out of the box plugged it in and it was defective from the start once I cleaned all the suet and stuff out of it it had no more problems with it say that was a good tutorial on reducer I've never really used anything like that other than on an extremely low pressure stuff and non-production mud tanks frat tanks oilfield equipment like you were saying I've built a lot of headers for stuff like that yeah man that's good old days back then anyway man y'all be safe

it really does neat cleaned up for sure lol.
u can use it,but there can't be pressure added to it. a rain spout to get around something maybe.
Yeah for sure I didnt think you could anymore.
There was also a tool, very simple, you'd stick it on the pipe (bottom was a H beam style piece) and from there using the arms on it, it allowed you to mark just about anything you could think of. More modern variants i saw even allow the use of a plasma cutter via a small adapter hook.
Good job sir......
I want this book,but I have no money.
Please send me this book PDF file.. please.... please....pl.....

Tom Beals hahahahah lol!!!! Your probably right lol!! And yes you are 100% right everything we use over here is cast fittings. Great comment
Until they need an eccentric reducer with an oddball offset that noone sells...then we get told to make one, lol.
Cool shit..

is the blue book the only hand book a pipeliner will use on a regular basis ?
its the one i use the most for sure but they make a black book too that has some really good stuff also.
ok thanks man for the reply
The Franklin book has more technical specs on pipe, fittings, tubing, etc.
First day as a UA pipefitter apprentice they gave us the black Franklin book. It basically has the same information however its a little thicker and probably has some more details. But I think the blue book is just as useful.
Yep, the way to a woman’s heart is make her a 200 lb Christmas tree stand. At least you don’t have to worry about her throwing it at you.
u would used this on a pressure test maybe on a valve to valve i done this a lot to find a bad valve seal to find the leak
Areal pipefitter don't need no book he knows how to do it
thats right except when you have never done one. wouldnt trust a guy to go be a pipefitter if someone didnt teach you or you have a reference book. pretty sure you have opened a book to learn something.

I've built em'. You get em' hot enough and they bend into place.
That's the craziest stand I have ever seen! You putting up a 40 footer? Lol🤣
osha will only let me put up a 4 footer!! LOL
CUTTING GLASS'S ! ?
just regular saftey glasses.
Are you on the Clock Cat? lol it's all Good
Gabriel Garcia no sir it’s the beauty of editing lol. And late nights after work everybody leaves and we stay late because Jed practices and I make videos.
Or you can just buy a plastic Christmas tree stand, lol. Thanks for the rundown though.
Concentric or ecentric?
The black book will tell you how to build both
Good lord. No brainer. Is anyone gonna except that on the line?
Lol. 8:20
U don't burn eyes with those clear glasses ?
Jeremy Deloach not yet lol!! I really like a darker pair but that’s what we had in the hooch at the time.
Drill rigs use shit like that all the time
Save some gas/time and energy by cutting the middle of each ear leaving like 1” tabs on the ends then welding them back 👌🏻
see that a great idea thank you for that.
