I am a rigger too, climbing towers & installing antenna dishes, but these guys working in high rise towers with those large steels, you must have the balls, wit, physical strength to do it.They're on another level.
You know for a fact everyone was like hey boss we need restraints on the job, the foreman said no we need this done today, then the owner came in on camera and said we need our guys to be safe 😂😂😂 comical how construction is
@@Jp-mk6hj you must not know union ppl.. i work with guys who dont even have basic grammar or spelling who take home 4k ish a week!! most of them are there because they didnt go to college or have a colorful background
I've been waiting for almost 6 months to get into the ironworkers apprenticeship, should i just keep waiting or go for something else? I live in Calfornia

1:43 ... They aren't 'steel workers'. They are "Iron Workers" and they work high iron, not, as the video is titled, "High Steel" It's ridiculous that the producers of this video don't know the difference.
@@CloroxBleach-do7yu Yes, everybody knows that steel is an alloy of iron, but the Iron Workers refer to it as iron. But don't take my word for it, ask any Iron Worker on any big job, or call the Iron Workers local in your town, and I guarantee I'm correct. And please try using correct punctuation the next time you comment!
If you can use a wrench or a ratchet and can handle heights this is a simple trade. Not much in the head upstairs but your small head better have a big sack supporting it lol. Cheers from a union painter that works along side with you guys
Actually I can do all that plus can you blast in holes and sewage plants plus lead abatement and asbestos with showers and coal tar at the top of the highest structure as well as going on oil rigs under the ocean coating steel with zinc while getting ripped in the Atlantic Ocean? I didn’t think so you fucking loser iron workers lmao. iUPAT for life!!!
First off, it's iron, not steel. No ironworker ever would answer if someone yells, "hey steel worker you're crazy". It's iron fist, foremost and always! Steel workers work in the steel mills, that's it. Ironworkers work and raise the iron. R D retired local 25 Detroit

Dan probably wears that hard hat. in bed.. . . while having wet dreams about " erecting " steel.. prick was prob bullied at school.. ..
I thought i was the only odd ball who kept his helmet on when leaving the jobsite lol i usually take mine off when i get to the car at least though. i just hate to be looking all crazy with F'd up hair after work!! But then again thats why my nick name at work is tuxedo. i can build tanks all day weld grind and fit and stay clean lol
Let's get one thing straight here. The company doesn't put up the steel. The men that the company hires out of the hall puts up the Steel. If you're not a ticketed ironworker then you're NOT an ironworker. Your a laborer playing ironworker.
@@tombryan1 a lot of people still call it iron as per tradition. Even myself sometimes. But it is definitely Steel. The transition was made over a hundred years ago Tom.
Yea sure the “men” put up the iron not the company 😂 So tuff guy please get this straight for me right quick please. When a pile of that iron collapses into the streets damaging property and killing people! Then what you’re telling me is those “men” will be responsible and liable correct ? Or is that when it suddenly becomes the “company “ put it up😂
good show but i love how the brother gets all mad that works the office that things aren’t done . he should get out in the field and help and they need a real crane on trump tower
The bottomline shrinks and the money-guy gets mad. . . . yeah, he's not burly as the other guys, but without his budget, no one makes money = no business to make money from.
Ive worked in buildings like this, ive worked in refineries, and many other places and women are not present because they cant handle this. Ive only seen em in refineries doing light work or in buildings cutting holes in drywall but thats it
IKR no one says steel. no one. even though what we hang isnt actually iron we still call it iron. and cowboys wtf, no one riding the trail here and herding some cows or sth lmao
Yeah right, the owners don't go work out in the field unless they want to be in a documentary. In addition they are not his crew, they are sent out from the union and it's way more that 5 guys.
“Steel” worker work in Steel mills manufacturing steel, IRONWORKERS erect structural steel. I was a Rigger out of Ironworkers Local 405 Philadelphia. PA. Work safe guys.
I found an an article about them getting charges brought on them for firing someone for their union affiliation. Fucking ratty ass outfit. law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F2/381/88/55760/

Nothing but respect for these men. I’m a Catholic but if I had this job I’d be taking communion and doing confession as much as possible 😂😂😂

Idiocracy
This comment thread would be fantastic without your dumb take !
Yeah .. annoying, couldn’t watch the whole video
Awesome show....Why don’t they do a weekly show following this crew
The monday night football announcer was the PERFECT guy for this
Proud 721 member love this shit
and u love it being called steel too?
Very good video I

As Iron Mike once said all tongues must confess, these guys are on another level.
13:13.. man I actually grabbed my chair because I thought I was going to fall lol.
I imagine that your avatar was pumping extra hard from the fear, lol.
Great presentation...thanks to the men and women who built America
This is the guy that told me, I would get an angel wing(portable aluminum fold up basket for safety,better access) when I fell off the building!👎😂
I worked for a steel erection company when I was 21...welding and throwing deck. this job takes some ballz.
🍻 here's to you Dan, " Mr. Wear your hardhat on the expressway " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yet, tough working conditions for later generation, is an office with no expresso machine. 🇺🇸
Half the guys in this are millennials?
1:18 I can guarantee you this dude normally doesn't wear his safety helmet inside his car. I bet the director asked him to wear it. HAHA
you actually don't know you have it on most of the time and the trucks have high clearance so you really don't know its there
And I can guarantee he is in a truck and that you are a narrow minded idiot.
Nobody wears it on the way to the jobsite in the morning nobody lol
Truther 416 As a construction worker i never wear those uncomfortable helmets off site. No man or women wears it off site way.
Arguing over a hard hat. Grow up
His helmet is welded on.
I do not understand why they do not wear eye protection.
Because you don't work the industry. Pussy
I had that guy saying 'what a fuck' @ the begin of the vedio.work for 10yrs wow!.
Nothing like the pre harness days.
gravity weeds them out

Oh forsure they were on their best behavior that day.
Proud of my brothers SW.
I don't know much about iron working but i know a hell a lot about roofs lol and its a lot of work also in the summer and winter.
Why is Dan driving around the city wearing a hard hat lmao
because he likes to take it up the ass.
Probably the director said it looks good lmao. i've never ever seen anyone drive to the sight with it on. Never.
For the video idiot

That sounds nothing like him
True worker,wears his hard hat in the truck to the job
