Who on Earth would thumbs-down this video? This man is giving nothing, but valuable information. This stuff is gold.
Haters are everywhere...especially when you're on the path of success.
All those who downvoted busted out of welding school
blackmar07 been to reddit huh?
Prolly some douche bag powerlinemen😂 they always think theyre better than welders😂
A hater
I want to be a Combination welder. But rig and pipeline welder somewhere in the middle. Specialist in TIG.
Success means I made my family proud, my future kids will have a better life than I did. And I'm content with what I've accomplished.
I began taking welding my sophomore year, never thought I'd fall in love with it. But two years have gone by and I'm really looking forwards to pipelining. Old timers are the best companions for experience
Arturo Adrian Arenales Hernandez
I agree for sure! I love old timers!
Great video i just graduated welding school bout a week ago and I’m pretty sure these tips will help me in the future. Keep up the great videos
I wanna be a pipeline welder but I'm just starting out so I'd rather get a welder helper spot to learn all ropes n what not and do more practicing, I also have own rig n welder. Great video Austin!

I wanna take a welding school to learn a new trade I watched ur videos very helpful
I plan on going back to school next year for welding ideally want to get on the pipeline for the money so i can raise a family and not worry about money constantly
I was in the commercial hvac business for 20 years in Florida, I got my first 6g in 2001,
Im 47. I work at an airport in Canada but its dead now. I start my welding techniques program this monday. Nervous and excited to start over. My mind is on pipe welding. But i dont know enough yet to make an informed decision. Thanks for your advise and wisdom.
Good info buddy. Wish I had stuff like this back 06 - 07 when I was first starting.
Me too. Would have been very helpful!
I want to be a pipeline welder and I’m down in New Mexico right now as a pipeline helper on some 4” but I really want to get on big pipe and learn that side of the trade!
i’d love to be a pipeline welder, or line up w a proper union. i’m 43 & just about 1/2 thru welding school. I have a fab welding job in a shop back home, but am looking to go all in on the pipeline or rig out at least. I know there’s lots of jobs in refigeration and would be totally grateful working in that industry, or on a rig.
my version of success is to financially support my household, get all of our debts paid off, get some good savings going and purchase some property (did I mention I want that 1-ton dually!!) thx Austin
Great video Austin! My favorite day of the week. Also, I want to be pipeline welder. Happy Friday Austin!
Thank! Happy Friday to you too!
My son just graduated and also is working in the welding field. He found your page a while back and tried to get me ( Mom) to watch. Well I did! Young man you have your head on straight and are doing a fine job 😊 Keep giving good advice and God will bless you and your business 😀
Well I appreciate that. I’m glad y’all have found us. We enjoy making these videos to help others. Thanks again for sharing. Have a great day! 👌😎
Pipeline i'm 20 and im the only welder In the family appreciate the advise on getting a rig and welder.
You bet!
I am verdantly working fur a water well drilling company as a welder / mechanic , but I am putting together a welding trailer , hopping to do some fence and ranch welding work
Was a helper for 4yrs then went to vo tech school for 1yr. Worked in a pipe fab shop for 3yrs. Putting my truck together this month. Always been in the oil and gas field of pipeline work. Definitely a fabricator/pipeline welder but I will go anywhere and learn anything new. I'm from San Antonio, TX there's a lot of work here in Texas. Good videos man 👌🏽
Hey man I'm trying to get in the pipeline as a helper, can you help me? I'm in dallas
I honestly would like to go pipeline but I’m just starting out I’m currently working for a welding company doesn’t really pay all that good but I’m in it for the experience so I can get to that goal of being on the pipeline
Pipeline to earn while I learn.... Knowledge, benefits, equipment, etc.!!!! Rig to have My own Everything including Equipment, Business, Schedule!!!! 💯😎🐺
My story is similar to ours votech, 2 yrs in a fab shop an now I’m running a tubed f350 with sa200. I’m a welder on a railroad bridge job right now an I’m teaching one our hands to weld. I’ve learned that not everyone is willing to teach so I chose to teach everyone that shows interest has the will to learn. Me and my helper spend a lot of nights in the hotel parking lot practicing welding.
That’s pretty cool. I know what you mean. I do the same with those that have the interest.
Im 14 and wanna be a welder how do I start how do I learn school is not helping and I don’t have a welding machine and no one in my family welds everyone tells me to just wait the 2 or 3 years of school so I can start in school but I wanna learn and experience what should I do, and thank you Austin I learned a lot from your videos then I have anywhere els thank you🙏🏻
Pipeliner Yee Yee! Thanks for the info!
I want to be a pipeline welder, been helping around as a labor for a iron erectors company sort of a iron working but it does welding structural here in Dallas tx, been learning some stuff just started 3 weeks ago off your channel but my goal is like you said...be a pipeline welder thanks for the tips sir it comes along ways thanks really want to become a pipeliner mainly for the money but also for the travel more like the life style of pipelining
I’m glad the videos have helped! That makes my day when I get messages like this!
Pipeline welder, I’m 18 starting at MTI taking the 10 month program for welding and pipe fitting to get all the certifications I can, I have been into welding since I was 12 where my grandpa taught me what welding is and I began my path of welding with a dream of owning a go cart, my grandfather said the only way I could have one is if I built my own and I did just that, big fan of yours your videos are awesome and informative!
How’s it going now?
My dream job is to be a rig welder . Im on my senior year of highschool and when i graduate i wont hesitate to get into a company and slowly build my self up.
I was a rig welder for 20 years. I chased the drilling rigs and put on the weld heads for the oil company
How was it? Were you always able to find good work?
Great advice about doing what you say and not what you do. I wish someone had have given me some advice about mo ey and what not when i was younger. No stress worse than money worries
I hear ya. It’s a huge deal to be a good steward with money no matter how much a guy makes.
I’ve always wanted to be a pipeline welding I currently take a welding class in high school and plan on going to welding school after high school
I've recently found your videos and they/you are extremely helpful and very informative! Grew up welding on cattle trailers and big rigs, took my skills to a vehicle fab shop, but I've wanted to pipeweld and travel since day 1. Trying to transition into the pipeline life and head back to welding school. I've faced tons of criticism and hate being a woman in the industry (no clue why people would care that much, I sure don't lol) I'm still going to keep on truckin'. Watching your videos and the positivity is definitely motivating!
Women are better welders i wouldnt give a fk, at least at school they all welded better!
Contact mee
@Morgan Kimber. How is it going did you ever got to do pipe welding?
so crazy i founf this channel and learned so much
i want to be a pipeline welder with my own rig. I've been welding structural for 5 years but i'm putting together my rig and my ultimate goal is pipeline.
great video, i hope the new guys listen to you
buy a welding text book and read it.
work a second job to avoid borrowing money, its a lot of extra work but its worth it when you dont have debt. debt will destroy you.
my definition of success: being able to choose what jobs i do and having the bills paid at the same time
I absolute love this. You’re right, a life with less or no debt is way better lived. Less stressful. Thanks for sharing!
Just graduated from a welding academy as a combo welder my goal is too eventually be a pipeline welder
I went to welding school in Dallas in 1963, when I finished I came back home and went to work at a saw mill in east Texas, I worked there for about 4 months, left that and got a truck driving job. I was going to go into pipeline welding ,but the call of the open road was to strong, this lasted until 1968, went to work for the city I lived in, Public works director, this lasted until 1984,quit this job..I know I needed to find a steady job,so I bought a restaurant and worked it for 30 years. all this time I meant to be a pipe line ........Oh well it was a hell of a ride.....Love your show and your attitude..............................................JS*
This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing. So do you still have the restaurant?
@@arosswelding I still own the land and building ,but I have been retired for 10 years. I have a 50x50 shop at home where I build things , I keep up on my welding skills, I don't know if I could pass a test ,but I think I can,but that don't matter now,I am not going to take any work from you.............................JS*
Great video boss
Thanks Austin.
I got ten years experience pressure welding just built my rig now im trying to find jobs.
I am working on being a pipeline welder. I’m working on getting my machine, and practicing downhill welding. I would like to get my foot in the door by doing anything I can. I am working at a stainless fab shop tig welding.
Thanks for this video, very helpful.
Question. Would you go the apprenticeship route? I would love to be a pipeline welder.
I would like to be a pipeline welder, I am still in high school but that's my overall dream, I am taking welding classes though.
I'm currently building a rig. rig work is what I'm after but having little trouble figuring out which tools to get.
Pipeline welder for sure.
I landed a welder helper job at a pipeline right out of high school through a temp agency and it was a really great experience. Being young and dumb I made some bad decisions and ended up with a low paying and skill-less job. Now 13 years Im looking to get my foot in the door at any welding job.
Thank you for the great content sir.
guevara7E
You bet!
my old saying; you can't be old and smart without being young ,and dumb...............................JS*
Awesome video Austin!
I'm shooting for rig welder, to stay flexible but really hoping to stick close to pipeline in Colorado if possible. I'm glad I did the military first, and got a lot of life experience and understand the money side of life. I start my 6 month welding school in January so hopefully this time next year i'll be ready to roll! Being a hobby welder the last few years, i'm ready to take it to the next level.
There’s def plenty of work goin on around there it seems. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Keep it up!
Thanks man! Just trying to get like you!
I’m in the same spot now. Just getting out of the army and wanting to get into welding back home in Colorado. Wondering how u liked the school and where you’re at now. Thanks in advance lawrence
Pipeline welder
I’m 20, one year out of high school, and 3 weeks left of welding school. I already have my own truck, sa200, and pipeline bed. I’m headed up to North Dakota soon to go be a helper for a couple months. Im going to buy a cougar 5th wheel. And before I become a helper I’m going to buy a miller big blue 400 stainless model. Since I don’t have any other loans, I’m just going to splurge and buy a brand new machine.
I know quite a few pipeliners and have heard you’ll be laughed off a job or not even given a test if you show up with a miller.. just a tip good luck
Where did you find the job as a helper?
Chaz Kennedy Lincoln are nice but many like the new pipe pro from miller Lincoln has just been on the market Longer but they are both great
Great vid be safe
Hi Austin I think I've watched everyone of your videos. I am trying to get into pipeline as helper. I have a camper and a truck. I am very motivated just graduated welding school as well. do you or are you aware of anyone needing a helper.
I've been getting experience doing misc factory welding jobs, and I especially like my current one, except it's not where I ideally want to be - just a step on the way there. I have no experience with pipeline or rig, but have been wanting to eventually get into that - partly because more money, but also more experience and being in new locations or outside is nice as well. I'm leaning towards pipeline but haven't really put too much effort in that direction yet.
That’s alright. It’s better to be patient with it anyway. At least you’re getting welding experience. That’s where it all starts. I hear ya about being outside. That’s one of the reasons I love doin rig welding.
I’d like to be a pipeline welder but I love moving around at work so rig welder will probably better for me
Austin thanks my man
I want to be a pipeline welder, I’m currently in a CC welding class for my senior year and a CNC technology class
im from florida and my school has a welding/shop class it is only 10th grade and up so i have to wait next year for the class
Rig welder but I would definitely start as a helper to get my foot in the door.
I guess I'm might have to get into pipe fences now that I'm in norcal, 07 duramax, Miller trailblazer 325. Hypertherm 45. Multimatic 255 Multimatic 200, I paid cash for all my machines by holding down a job n saving money
Thankyou so much
My goal is to work around home for a year or so to get the money together to go out and get a job as a helper just to get into the field of pipeline.
Pipeliner but I’ll take anything I can get right now. Welded my junior and senior year of high school. Starting college this fall at the local community college and taking the welding courses. Trying to find any connects I can right now.
You’re on the right track. 👌😎
I’m not sure what I want to do I’m leaning towards rig welding but want to be a in the pipeline welder at the same time.
My dream always has been pipe line welding im in welding school now and take my pipe certification in December
How it go
I am a 33 year old man just getting out of prison, Im from Siloam springs Arkansas took every welding class we had an grew up on a farm welding all sorts of things. I am currently in work release welding for a shop called Dixie metal in Ocala FL. I have a one ton f350 an my goal is to turn it into a rig truck. But I am also curious about pipe linen. I am running a squirt gun currently an damn good at it. When I was younger I did alot of stick welding mostly 6011 but that's what I want to do I am trying to get more familiar with 7018 6010 an such. Ur videos have bin very helpful. Thank for what u are doing. I'm currently trying to figure out what welder I should get I just watched ur video on the sa 200 an I'm pretty much gna use all ur suggestions. Thanks again an God bless!
I’m on my 2nd semester at my tradeschool, my plan is to eventually make it to the pipeline, I’m always willing to learn more, so if anybody has any tips on anything welding related let me know!
First let me say great video , and I hit that thump up ,and subscribe a long time ago. Would like to ask a man who know like yourself . like to get into pipe welding myself did the school , but never hit the road yet can you say the best way to find jobs cause there always turnarounds , and can you say or go into detail how far you a ways from seen family like months and years , and the travel ? I know some guys who try and start this trade and get a truck and a welder and when are out there they have there truck and welder break down they're stuck like OMG cross the country
I’m 18 and I’m trying to get into pipe line, I’ve done some welding in my high school and in a welding course so I know how to use stick and flux, but I want to know more. I haven’t really put my mind into learning about it I was just doing it.
Pipeline hands down but would love to have my own rig to do my own thing when there are down times on the line.
I would probably go be a rig welder if my work dries up - I’m an industrial refrigeration mechanic. Not a whole lot of welding in service work but I have been tasked with becoming the new fabricator at my shop. Pipe, skids, hangers, you name it.
Shoot ya that’s awesome!
Looking to go work the pipeline! I’m working on building some tanks in Casper Wyoming right now! So much pipeliner work out here!
Yes. Lots of work in that area for sure.
How would someone go about finding a job?
Great video
Thanks!
I'm not sure which one I want all I know is I want to weld iv tried to get help from my uncle but we haven't had much time to hang around eachother he is a government certified specialist welder and says now he might make 2 to 4 welds a week but he has definitely earned it
I want to do either rig or pipeline I graduate in late October early November
I'm 35 going back to school for welding. My profession was in cannabis farming in northern California ans those days are over so I'm going to school kinda nervous
Do u have advice for insurance / liability for rig welding?
I just turned 18 I want to be a pipeline welder. I watch pipeline videos all day at school I’m trying to get as much knowledge as I can but I’m very “green” I’m trying to find the best way to get in the pipeline. There’s a local school here that with teach me basic welding or I’ll go to Arkansas welding elite academy idk what to do. What would be your opinion on what I should do. love the vids bro
What would be some good jobs for a welder who wants to stay close to home and not travel but still make a nice salary
YOURE THE BESTTTTT
No, you’re the best!
What is the highest paying welding job bc I am a sophomore in high school and am looking forward to doing welding and I wanna be successful and financially stable in whatever I do!!
Rig welder is the dream. Not even in the right industry yet. Paying down debt and tracking down 220v to practice. Middle of Texas here.
Hey I really want tot be a pipeline welding and I really enjoy every kinds of welding and style a I was wondering if we could talk one time on how I could get started on the pipeline. They are doing the line 3 reroute right now and that’s like a 1/2 hr from my house so I am constantly seeing welding rigs but I have never had a chance to stop and as for advice I was wondering if u could help me with that.
Super interested on being a pipeline welder. Working on my rig now while going to welding school.
How's it going?
I went to the pipeline in New Mexico and west Texas. Stayed in Carlsbad for a long time and then moved to midland. In midland I got hooked on snow and lose my way. Lost everything. I live in my camper now and work as a manager of a tractor supply and I’m saving money to get my cdl. I love welding and wish I hadn’t given it up
I have great stories. It was a great experience. Sorry and short ending though
I'm a junior in high school taking a welding class at the county tech campus and looking to find a welding job for the summer. looking to be a rig welder in the long run but I'd like to tour the country welding whether that's threw the union or pipeline welding. And am also thinking about joining the Michigan air national guard or navy reserve any suggestions on going military or right into welding?
Pipe welding is way beyond going to school you'll still be learning n if your welding allot you can still see improvements even 5 years after school.
What 3/4 ton truck do you recommend buying to start off with??
Would you recommend western welding academy? I have some money to spend and want to get into the trade. I’m 21 years old, and have construction experience. I don’t have any experience welding, but the welding scene in Idaho isn’t the greatest. Would like to get my foot in the door easily! I’ve been considering the master pipe welding course at WWA. If you ever needed a helper, I’d be honored! I’m willing to do whatever it takes.
I just want to weld!!! Just now breaking out and willing to do whatever it takes.
That’s a good attitude 👌
Get into a apprenticeship
Pipefitters Local
Thanks!@@danlunsford1138
Good video Austin. Do rig welders and pipeline welders make about the same? Kinda curious what all a rig welders does? It sounds like an interesting job but I would be interested in more specifics.
A rig welder is just any kind of mobile welding.
I wanna be a rig welder and a pipeline welder in school now
Been welding out of a company truck for the past year while I built my personal rig. Now that I'm rigged out seems like everything slowed down so its difficult to get out.
I am a junior in hs and I am building a welding rig on my truck and I have a sa200, my question is could I go straight in to being a welder or would still have to be a helper no matter what since I am so young right out hs?
What if you work for yourself making fences is that good enough? Or would I have to work for somebody...and what's the difference between a rig welder and a pipeline welder
Hey y’all, I’m barely starting out and I got a question, if I was to get a mobile rig, could I later on apply at chemical plants and all that good stuff after getting a lot of experience? Great video Austin I love all your videos, keep it up!
Eric r some plants have their own crew and some hire stuff out. You have to talk to them to see what they may need. Some jobs may need a machine with a ton of cable. And other jobs may need a crane and a crew.
