Pride in your work will always show whether it's later that day or 20 years down the road. I loved being a welding inspector and seeing the quality work these guys do. Some say welders are to mean and grumpy , no they are just trying to do the best job on the whole spread.
as an old(73yrs) pipe welder myself I was curious about this video,I worked mainly power houses and some refineries but a real welder is still a real welder...it's definitely a young man's trade and a good one at that!I raised my kids and sent them to school,was always proud of my work and this guy gives good advice...remember,there's plenty of guy that can make a half way decent bead but there's very few WELDERS!!!
My dad is an old pipe welder. He has been a member of UA Local 357 for over 50 years. He got all his experience welding at powerhouses and juice factories and wineries and pharmaceutical factories. I have learned a thing or two from him and I am not too bad at welding compared to many people that call themselves welders, but I never say I am a welder and I could never do what he's done. I know what a good weld should look like, and I know a good welder when I see one. I often say that you aren't much of a welder if you aren't a pipe welder that welded at a nuclear power plant.
Been welding 40+ years...this young man reminds me of me when I was younger....other young men...listen to him...in the old days the older welders wouldn't help you like that...pipe liners are a small but close family..most of the time...you have your knot heads...but that's just the way it is...I still help young people...some of us has to pass the knowledge down to the next generation of pipeliners...
1000% respect Mr. Schofield! A man only has his integrity. That video taught me, a welder/ fabricator of 43 plus years a thing or 2 today. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS! Be safe, and in His sight, Amen. Goodonya young gun!
Mr.Schofield, you have inspired me to become a welder, to get up every morning, no matter what time of the day and go out there and give it my 110%! I start welding school on Spring 2020, I’m 20 years old my self but I aspire to achieve what you have achieved as a person and welder in the long run! Best of luck to you!
Muy buenos tu videos amigo, la verdad al verlos trabajar motiva , porque demuestran la.buena actitud en su trabajo, porque se ve que hay conocimiento en la misma .. gracias porque por ustedes nos motivan a todos nosoteos que no ee dicamos a el trabajo de soldadura!!!👍😅😅 un cordial saludo desde Guatemala att. Kervin...
I installed cable as a contractor for twelve years. The guys I worked with taught me to be so proud of my work that I can put my initials on it. The three of us basically owned all the cable in Shelbyville TN by the time we were done, and you couldn’t tell which one of us had been there without reading the initials.
Electrician told me the reason he orients all screws vertically is to see if anyone has messed with the wiring upon call backs. Hacks never seem to notice the little things.
love the electrician comments haha as i am one i do take pride in my work and like you said only electricians will look at other electrical work and wonder what they would have done different love watching welding videos as its a hobby of mine that im getting into
I run heavy equipment for the past 15 or so years on the pipeline and I treat every square foot as if it were my own front yard I want everything to look perfect as I would my own home.. even though I don't see my home to often haha
Been a couple decades since I started as a fitter. Ran miles of pipe, but sure didn't have any of the cool tools you have. We either cut with a hand held Victor or a Portaband if possible, and beveled with a grinder . Welded off a pipe vise or in position. No spinny things or autotorch or what ever its called . Keep up the good work if I was a younger man I might be out there nearby. :)
I try to take pride in my work. But never thought about turning them stampings up. I like it. Thank you, I know I'll be trying to do this now too. My ocd already makes me aim for putting them stops on the bottoms of how it's bolted up.
A good welder is always looking at other welds even when I'm stopped in traffic I find myself looking at welds on semi trailers also you're number is going on the weld I hated it when another hand would say (thats good enough)no it isn't give it 100 percent
Hahaha ME TOO !! My ex was forever telling me to DRIVE when I was 'inspecting' (from behind the steering wheel) an artic's suspension at my side, or axle mounts weldments.. or the 'cabinet box' of valving at the rear of a tanker.. Did a 'real' welder do the stainless TIG welding, or a self taught pretender, lol. I've refused to work with blokes who say "that'll do" plenty of times. Because I didn't want my name going down on any shared documents as a part of 'that' team. Do it right mate, or piss off and kill someone on your own account.
matt harper ive got a couple guys that work where i do that always ask"is thatt good enough???"is that close enough???seriously hate that!! if they had to ask me then its not close enough...just saying lol
jeremy doblinger I’m not a welder but I do residential construction to pay for school. I usually ask my boss is it good enough just as a way to make sure we were on the same page.
As an electrician the most obvious shit is making sure the switches and receptacles are level, or the covers will look out of square, but yeah everything else is hidden, but we don't do shortcuts, because who wants to be responsible for a house burning down..
I have a different opinion. I am a master electrician and my recently deceased dad was a pipeline welder for 40 years. Lining up screws and numbers on flanges has nothing to do with pride in work and everything to do with OCD. I cannot speak as a welder, but as an electrician, I can say that the best way to judge an electrician is by how his panel is terminated. In a residential install, go in the attic and look at the circuit runs. In commercial, look how his conduit runs with multiple conduits are all parallel and bends look like a "waterfall" (smooth). There is not much to screw up inside a wall as far as branch circuits go. The only variable is strapping/ stapling correctly. Most issues with non metallic cable ("romex") in walls occurs when other trades run screws and nails into the conductors, causing a short.
Man Jed (sorry if I got his name wrong) is a great helper... you can tell in the beginning of the video, he ain’t even watching you but he hears you stop welding and instantly turns around to feather that start/stop. When’s he going to officially break out? I say next job you goto you both test and I know he’ll be hired! But then shit neither one of you will have a helper!! Good job men... quality work, dedication and knowledge! Thanks for so many uploads a week, I tried to start a welding RUclips page but just don’t got the time to upload and edit everything I filmed. Take a peek at my last 2 videos... nothing like yours but I gotta start some where! Keep burnin’ n earnin’ fellas!
I’m with you on the quality and craftsmanship, it seems the acceptable level of quality has dropped considerably over the past 20 years or so, but I can tell a 2” 300# raised face weld neck flange without the numbers, but I guess it would look neat if all the markings were clocked the same. Next time I’m fitting for myself I will try it, however I would have a hard time convincing a fitter to do it. He or she is not going to move their two hole pins just to keep the markings all the same. Plus maybe good American made fittings are all stamped in the same place, but some of foreign junk fittings that are purchased now days are not. Hell I’ve fabricated spools that had a Malaysia flange on one end and a Chinese flange on the other end and an India flange in the middle.
I use that phrase, but not exactly meaning something is just about good enough. It's almost a bit of outward modesty, kind of a "yeah I'm happy with that"
I'd have to say that it's an individual choice, and the state of the business is nothing more than the sum total of individual choices. Jacob, keep spreading the gospel - it WILL make a difference! The one thing that'll kill the industry is folks that say: "Why should I bother, the other guys didn't..."
People get pressured into make the budget mentality and think that they have to cut there quality of work to get the quantity out. There is a push for yearly budgets not 20 yearly budgets so corners get cut. I have never cared about budgets, do it once, do it right and do it on time. It can be done.
As an electrician who installs banks of 4” rigid conduit, and fabricates my own brackets, I take offense!!! Lol. Our craftsmanship is exposed for all the eyes to see as well. If you want to compare to a resi, well then the same could be said about pipes in the wall.
Seems to me everybody takes offense at everything. A guy can’t say anything without someone being offended. So you keep being offended and I’m going to just keep being me. Have a great night.
@@JacobSchofield maybe I came across wrong brotha but my comments were all tongue in cheek. Just a couple of tradesmen having some fun about craftsmanship. No real offense at all brotha! As a sparky I enjoy your vids
How does helper pay work? I assume a welder and his helper come as a package deal. Is the helper payed by the company or through the welder. I’m not a welder but I like your videos because of the hustle you show. I Really enjoy your business side of things, working man grant cardone style . Oh, and the trucks ha. Keep it up Schofield!
Nice videos man! I am gonna ask you the same questions I’ve asked a few others on here! What is the tangent scale on a wrap a around do it mean and how do you lay out a segmented 90 to make a template for fabbing it up?
Hope you didnt start and stop on the same spots every time on one but weld cause that will draw your pipe one way or the other, not so much on the lower shcdual pipe but on that 80 and up it will, but your a pretty good welder sure you know that.
Keep at it.... You'll get their some day !... It just takes practice. All the jobs I have been on would get your two checks in a heartbeat if we went that slow let alon bust out with a bbq at work ? Must be a southern thing because in the northwest that sh:t wouldn't fly ! Not for a second. Looks fun but I have never had that luxury in all my years.
It's real simple be professional. Try to out do yourself every day. Never waste a penny on college for you are your kids if you love them. Before you pick a wife find out if she believes the same thing if she doesn't move on before you make that mistake.
Structurally speaking I thought you would want your starts and stops staggered. I could be wrong and it doesn't matter. Just what I have been told. Great fabricating!
Jacob Schofield Oh I gotcha, makes sense to me. Hey, if it ain't broke then don't fix it right? Thanks for the clarification! You make some great videos man, keep burnin and earnin!
your starts and stops of different passes on the same weld should be staggered. It is the most likely place to get shrinkage (crater) cracks. You don't want to line them up and produce a leak path. Of course, good welder practice is to grind back the start stops so you remove any cracks but "belt and suspenders" approach works too.
These welds have only one-pass caps. So there’s only one start/stop. Nothing to stagger. Stagger when you have multiple passes on a cap. Different welds don’t require staggered stops and starts. Nothing wrong with these welds as far as I can see.
How do I get my foot in the door over call 100 places just trying to get my foot in the door as a helper I'm taking your advice and going to be a helper before going to welding school but out of all the people I called I got put on one list for Virginia and that's not even a for sure thing
all it is a half shed basically 12 feet wide 8 foot tall in the front thena slope to 78 foot in the back and how ever wide you want the sides then plate it.
Rd Osborne we wed in position quite a bit but if we get the option we would rather roll it out It’s faster once you figure it out. As far as position I have 10-8” welds to do tommorow love position welds.
thanks buddy im a machinist and use a rotary table or step off my hole patterns with a digital readout and was just wondering how you guys keep all your holes in the correct positon to mate up to the corresponding flanges thanks for the info
yep actually ran the big lablond manual laths and bridgport mills and set up and ran the old style turret lathes for 14 years but now everyone wants the cnc machines so 15 years ago i swithed into industril grinding and resharpening metal working equipment also dod my share of fab welding in the old days lol
The always use levels and when the pipe is level or plumb, they use the top two bolt holes and level them. So if you have your drop plumb, just level the top holes across.
"Doing the right thing even when someone ain't looking," preach it brother!
INTEGRITY
Just retired ... started at 15 now 65 and had some great times and great buddies ... would I do it again you bet.
i'm maintenance man, and the best man in the shop aint the fastest one done he is the one you never have to go behind and redo the work!
The best is the employee the one you don't have to worry if he's doing his job right or at all.
I learned new things with every crew I worked with.
Accuracy plus experience equals speed. Do it right the first time cause your work is your signature, some of your welds will out live you.
Amen Amen. your are right for sure.
Pride in your work will always show whether it's later that day or 20 years down the road. I loved being a welding inspector and seeing the quality work these guys do. Some say welders are to mean and grumpy , no they are just trying to do the best job on the whole spread.

That's true. Good welders don't have to pat themselves on the back, they prove themselves every day.
Me too. Local 430 Tulsa UA. Not braggin but I have welded the break of day many times. Fixed the crack of dawn I did. The rest was easy!
My dad is an old pipe welder. He has been a member of UA Local 357 for over 50 years. He got all his experience welding at powerhouses and juice factories and wineries and pharmaceutical factories.

That's the advice I got from my old welding instructor. Take pride in your word it's your name on that weld. Thx Mr. Potter.

I love welding and was hit with the welding bug ever since sparking my first rod with my powerarc. I sometimes even dream welding.
I would love to have the passion you have. Welder and I hate welding. I respect it though.
Great video Jacob that is some nice looking fabrication
You know I can't hardly believe it's been 4 years since I watched this video
how have the last 4 years treated you?
@@JacobSchofield not real good lost 4 welding trucks
Good stuff! Weld everything 100% all the time!
true that then you never have to worry
I like watching your videos. Makes me hope I can get a job in USA s n welder

Well spoken 👍
thank you very much
I can spent 3+ years in a welding shop. & Am a seasoned electrictrion. Good point
see you get the best of both worlds and know exactly what im talking about.
It’s crazy how much stick you guys do. Around the Memphis area they only want TIG hands.
Koool... I’m Sure i could do something like. As a Boilermakers welding is fun $$$
Pride in one's work has gone by the wayside, sad to say.

There’s a difference between a rod burner and a fabricator
i prefer doing miters and rolling off sets myself , but welding B31-1 severe is cool to ' Its all good bro
The Vlogs are entertaining
I wish I could have welders that thought the way you do. It's like where's Waldo with heat numbers and welder stencils most of the time
Man that means a lot thank you Roger always trying to make my stuff stand out which means it makes everyone elses life easier.
I hear ya man. Even if you don't get thanks for it from your inspectors, it means a good bit to some of us CWI's out here.
Words rarely heard from a lot of CWI's: "I'm not here to make you look bad, I'm here to make sure that WE look GOOD".
I have been a welder fabricator for 42 years. The word "LEAK" never has a good meaning.
Great attitude. You could weld for me anytime. It did look like an arc strike on the crotch of the T. Lazy helper. Call the Bus.
hahaha no arc strikes Gord maybe a buffed BB but they are really really stricked about ark strikes. I really appreciate the the great comment
because your name is on every weld thats why you always do it right

hahahah if i could make it happen you bet we would be
Martin Paz Are you sure you wana be a nite club comic ?
Brother it’s a joke out here on the pipeline when our welders are welding small pipe that’s it
Why is that fool grinding when that man has the little pit open hard to find helpers with common sense.
Can you do a video on building a pipeliner grill like yours
Yes sir been working on it so hopefully soon
Thank you love yalls videos
Why do helpers always wear their pants in their boots these days? We didn't do that when I was a helper
I don't understand the "screws facing the same direction" analogy. Wouldn't they always be facing the same direction?
He is talking about the slot in the head.
Hell on Earth.
Hey man! Gotta question, do you guys have a house some where or do you guys just live out of the camper? Love the vids! Keep it up!
zack dion I believe he’s got a nice 5th wheel for him the wife and helper.. think he’s from Idaho and weldin in CO
Why would anyone ask such a question?
Thay have houses and quids and campers. Then the oil field crashes and the bank takes everything.. lol
Outdoors alberta with jerry alberta Alberta funny but is sadly true
I think I missed something are there numbers on the flanges
any chance youve got a video on how to use a coupon cutter. not getting slag all over the place and busting a weld?
i dont man i usually cut them out with a hand torch
that's called OCD
Hey I would like to build a work station like you have where can I get plans for something similar like you have ?
all it is a half shed basically 12 feet wide 8 foot tall in the front thena slope to 78 foot in the back and how ever wide you want the sides then plate it.
yea buddy
hahah thanks for watching
What about when your welding in position. Doesn't look like you guys do that much.
Rd Osborne we wed in position quite a bit but if we get the option we would rather roll it out It’s faster once you figure it out. As far as position I have 10-8” welds to do tommorow love position welds.
how do you know all the bolt holes are actually in the correct place of rotation to what there going to bolt too ?
thanks buddy im a machinist and use a rotary table or step off my hole patterns with a digital readout and was just wondering how you guys keep all your holes in the correct positon to mate up to the corresponding flanges thanks for the info
yep actually ran the big lablond manual laths and bridgport mills and set up and ran the old style turret lathes for 14 years but now everyone wants the cnc machines so 15 years ago i swithed into industril grinding and resharpening metal working equipment also dod my share of fab welding in the old days lol
freebird1ification two hole it
The always use levels and when the pipe is level or plumb, they use the top two bolt holes and level them. So if you have your drop plumb, just level the top holes across.
How do I get a job with you guys?
