I'm in the middle of the east Texas oil patch. For every welder working there are 10 who aren't. Count your Blessings young man: you've got work when most don't. Remember this: when you've got work there are NO bad days.
Anyone out there hiring in East Texas? I'm looking into STX and WTX. Jobs are slowly coming back. I think pipeline work should be a littler better than rig work. Just need to find out how to get on a pipeline
I think it's fantastic that you and Baylie are able to work together and get along so well on the job. Means you both are very compatible. Both of you be safe
That's so fucking awesome you got your wife out there with you. That's fucking awesome that she willing to get out there and work. Keep her around man!!
riprap job in Canada in swampy country .Delimbed logs would be laid down on the ground to travel on or the oil company would wait till winter freeze up for the winter pavement (frozen ground). In leu of riprap welders would take off their skid units off the back of their trucks and the company would load them up on nodwells or foremost's and weld off of them . This would be done with a poor boy crew because it would be slow going . This is where 15 foot grinder cords work well .Skid units would carry welder ,oxy acet bottles ,cable and hose wraps, and a tool and rod box .Texas style rigs are not seen in Canada .Because of terrain and winter conditions for a 3rd of the year
Thanks for the insight. Been pipeline welding in the US for over 20 years, seen a lot. Grew up on the Canadian border and Always wanted to come up and work a job in Canada. Hope work is plentiful!
@@Polack-ml9fh Thanks for the reply . Work up here is in short supply and has been for quite awhile covid and a federal Government that are basically enviro Nazis . They have made things almost impossible to do in the patch many many projects have been cancelled . Welding up here one has to go through a gauntlet of government certifications . A 3 year apprenticeship ,then you have to test for a "B" pressure ticket to weld pipe . Now you get to go find a job . On top of that each province has their own certifications to get . Getting in the door with contractors takes awhile to . they have an attitude of just because you have your welding tickets doesn't mean you can weld ,and they usually have their steady eddies . I'm retired now done it for 45+ years and have even done a 70 page booklet on it ,Called tie in tricks and stolen Ideas bartoonski@yahoo.ca there is stuff in it you won't find in normal hand manuals
Great video Luis and Baylie! Some questions you may ask is how they got started in this industry and what the weld boss looks for in hiring welders ect. Again, thanks for taking the time to share 👍
Just a hint , take that gfci plug out . Go to any hardware store and get one without . Problem solved to stop it from tripping . I have a pipe pro 400 and did the same thing . Hasn’t tripped since . Good luck bro and play safe !
Good helper! All my year's in construction (Electrical) I tell em all the time " learn what you need to do the job properly,then learn what they're all for,then learn how to use them and you'll be solid"
Bro please don’t stop making videos I’m new to welding and these are so cool to watch the setup explaining everything and seeing the type of environment!!
Love it bro. My husband and I worked together in aircraft industry been married for 34 years. Love how y'all get along. New to channel but subs. Keep up the good vids. Love and God Bless
I bet your girl happy af she gets to spend all day with her 😂😂 I did directional drilling and I was always out of town now I run 2 small business with her every minutes it’s either with her or just talking to her…
I am love your videos, and like the way you both work together and being a couple that’s impressive. Keep working hard and setting the example. Best wishes for y’all’s future, it looks bright. God bless!
Cool video. Nice rigs. My old man was a welder fabricator all of his life. Never come home clean. Burned, Oil, grease, ripped up clothes, broken tools, mud, snow, wet. You name it.
Great stuff, much different from other pipeline videos, really like the style of this, really like that rod bucket modification with Ubolts, cheers from Florida , Paul...p.s. Bob Ross grew up a block from where I live in Orlando ....he is buried here at the cemetery where my step dad is buried, love Bob Ross...now lets see some Happy Little Welds.....
I’m a new welder from South Carolina I’m 18 going to get certified soon any tips on do’s and don’t’s I want to get to working asap either it’s fabbing or pipeline. How do I get a welding job for Fabbing and pipeline? What’s the best equipment ? Does being certified make a huge difference? What’s the best start that I can do as a beginner welding? What’s a good machine I can start out with that’s has at least Mig and Stick. I don’t have a truck yet but plan on it. If you can make a video with our answer to our questions or reply I would really appreciate it man. Just sub love your videos man keep it up and stay blessed.
Love watching the videos man and seeing what all goes down in the work field and I appreciate y’all explaining everything out I just started this year at a welding school in Greenville NC and I love it if anyone’s thinking about trying out a welding school try it you won’t regret it
This is a Question for a helper: As a helper what would be the 1st/next best step to become a rig welder? And what have you learned from being a helper?
We used to ride together a few years back in Tyler, I was living with my aunt at the time and didn’t know which way I wanted to go in life. Since then I’ve got a family now and things are looking up. This video popped up and I clicked it not even realizing it was you. Keep up the good content man. 🤙🏼
Rig set up costs...favorite weld (root, hot pass, or cap), favorite lens, hood, and stinger, best welding shirt or gear, favorite welding cap...those would be great questions
I’m a 17 year old in highschool, been welding for about 3 years now and I like it. After I graduate my plans are going to UTI which is a technical school. 6 months. Is it worth going to that school or just start as a helper?
any tips on how you get pipeline work? im a welder out here in colorado but cant figure out any way to get work on a pipeline . any advice would be awesome!! thanks and awesome video.!!!
Im 18 about to finish school at Tulsa welding school his Houston and I want to practice at home I'm looking for a multi process machine but have no idea on what is good and bad for them I just learned to weld nothing about why we do certain things. anything than can help?
I’m so jelly right now! Lol I’m happy for y’all. I know you’re definitely excited to be on the ROW again. I noticed Frankenstein is back on the rig? You didn’t want to weld with the 200? I’ve been to that store in Ft. Stockton. I felt like a kid in a candy store lol
my name is joey and I'm from south Texas and I been welding for a few years and now with this pandemic many people lost their jobs in the pipeline that I know of, and I am currently going to school for welding to help me find a job. and my concern is if there will still be welding jobs when I'm finished with school

@@cbboiii1100 gotta know someone or get lucky.
As a CWI working in saudi arabia as a welding inspector is just waste. I Want to join you gyes
love seeing this comment reminds me of what my instructor told me before graduating im currently out of work in WV so I felt this comment
Why I got into the sanitary side of welding. People will never stop eating or drinking whiskey so there will always be work for me.
I think it's fantastic that you and Baylie are able to work together and get along so well on the job. Means you both are very compatible. Both of you be safe
A man settles where he finds peace not chaos.
I’m an ole facility engineer (59yrs old) and just learning how to really weld. Never stop learning and doing! Much respect to all you pipe welders!
That's so fucking awesome you got your wife out there with you. That's fucking awesome that she willing to get out there and work. Keep her around man!!
We need more welding videos like this please keep up the hard work men
I salute this kind of job. I'm an engineer but I want to be a full-time welder. I just love contributing on construction works like this.
Ain't all it's cracked up to be, I'll trade your for the engineering job any day
You're nuts.
Nicest lineup of trucks I ever seen!!!!! My kinda car show:) Would like to take 1 of those reg cab dually's to Alaska and put a snow plow on it.

Best thing about your rig is the helper
Bailey is the sweetest girl on you tube, y'all make a perfect couple. Loved that "call me" with the grinder hahaha.
Next video idea:🤯 We would all love to see Hector's welding journey, first rig, breaking out, rig set up.🤞🤞🤞
Great video Luis and Baylie! Some questions you may ask is how they got started in this industry and what the weld boss looks for in hiring welders ect. Again, thanks for taking the time to share 👍
I’m a Sr. ROW Agent/Landman, glad y’all are working. Cheers from North Carolina 🍻🤘🏼

Good Vid Bud!

Nice paint job on the white welding machine!!
Millawaykee cordless tools have great battery life check them out.
My question for the interview is what do I need to know to become a helper before I want to break out
Bailey put those goldie locks away when wire wheeling. 😙
Not only in your buffer Bailey but in a buffer someone else is using, that would be a BAD DAY for all, love your video 👍👍👍
Cool video. Nice rigs. My old man was a welder fabricator all of his life. Never come home clean. Burned, Oil, grease, ripped up clothes, broken tools, mud, snow, wet. You name it.
Bout to get my girl into being my helper too man, badass video 🔥
Yeahhhhhh buddy, Main Line time!!!
You already know!
Bob Ross Badass Painter 🎨 😎 👌
Your working at something I enjoyed as a Millwright. Welding was a part of 20 other items.who has the most reliable welder?
I was an X-Ray hand for 6 years and as soon as you said X-Ray got it stuck this morning I wasn't surprised!
You got the best girl ever!!!
Love you welding rig 🙌🏾🔥
Y'all must have a strong relationship lol
Very good to fellow welder conviently showing their welding gear and Truck mounted DC welding plan. under API or ASME pipe welding code to follow.

What’s a welding rig cost ready to work? Thanks. Awesome video

What part of kansas are you going to?
Is that the big boy battery on the dewalt grinder?
I’ve been looking forever for this video so glad it’s back, it gives me hope I’ll be out there on the Right of way!
Get a 60v dewalt battery, lasts a long time and gives it more power! Thanks to our welders and helpers!
Woody?
@@Luisloya.12 YES! that’s what everyone calls me! Don’t have a friend named buzz tho lol
I want some relationship advice lol. How do you find a girl that is supportive . She helps you alot & you can tell you guys enjoy your job.
When she accepts a dewalt tool bag instead of a regular hand bag.
@@rickw4160 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are making stacks lol that’s how,
bite a lip and bring another check in
It's called love and respect. Relationships is two ways road, it's not just one way or hit the highway.
Forget what all the knuckle heads said. His wife is a unicorn, a mythical creature rarely seen in the wild. Good luck, but she's one in a million lol

Rig set up costs...favorite weld (root, hot pass, or cap), favorite lens, hood, and stinger, best welding shirt or gear, favorite welding cap...those would be great questions
You should do some lives Q & A, keep up the good work man !
Great video, buddy!! Did you attend a welding school to get into the pipeline welding???
What brand of electrodes are you using?
And why are you welding from top to bottom?
Awesome work brother! Have a safe 1
A squirt of WD -40 in the extension cord plug will help out from popping gfci ,
Another great video Luis & Bailey

How did you get set up with Bailey as a helper? Just a lucky draw...? She seems like a badass helper! You 2 seem to get along quite well 🤘
If you’ve seen his other videos, you’d know about the part where says that they have been together for awhile
Damn I’m boutta turn my girl out into a helper
Frrr 😂
Primo y'all the best. Be safe.
This is what every man wish for. Aspiring to create something together.
Get you a set of dewalt 9 Amp hour batteries. You won't regret it one bit. They're heavy, but well worth the added bulk and cost.
How's your vision after years of welding? Have you had any problems?
Awesome man... Pretty cool watching your videos... Like to be a helper someday... Keep building America
Awesome content 💯💪🏾 keep it up
