been in the field for a couple years now and i want to appreciate the one who take the time to teach you. It was rare working with someone willing to teach you some tips or anything and when i did receive it i learned so much I cant imagine how much i would have learned in a year. Teaching has been my best way of learning and i hope if youre in this field you share some knowledge with the young ones coming in
For kicks I like using the 30 degree trick. Ex. If you need a 7” kick, measure back 14” and bend it until you’re at 30 degrees like an offset and you’ll have your 7” kick saves a lot of time and you don’t have to measure it every time. For small kicks you get to a point where you can eyeball it and get it right
When I was a much younger spark- chaser, an older journeyman I was apprenticed to had a standing rule that I only use a pencil to mark pipe and NEVER a sharpie. We all have our pets peeves.

That’s a good trick easy math
You do a good job explaining things to the new guys! Keep up the good work.
Good video - felt like I was on the job learning from you

Yes agree as you can see the sharpie was only use for the cut mark never for the bending spacing.
what impact bit did you use on that shallow strut looks neat
