Still missing is Shaun Thornhill since January 2012. New footage from the last job he was on with Local 798. This is Old Skool 798...best of the west in welders!
@@CuttinWithCody Because they think they're God's gift to mankind that's why. There's people all over this world that can weld just as good as these guys they're just not on the "pipeline" or work for the "798".
I see a lot of folks that I worked with for years. This video brings back some find memories as these people became my family over the years. Since I retired I've lost contact with them. Thanks
Been welding for 17 years and I sure do miss the pipeline! Doing some structural for now but every time I hear my old sa200 rev up , I fall in love with my profession
I really enjoy your posts! Takes me back to some of the best times of my life. My dad and uncle were pipeline 798 welders and I grew up traveling the country in a trailer and living in a trailer park with other pipeliners in a strange town. Most of the pipeliners I knew were the best friends ever. Some played hard but all worked hard. I worked many jobs from Manistique MI in 1968 to Fairbanks and Livengood AK in 1976 and what you shared hit the nail on the head. I went to college and worked in a different field but in my heart the best times ever were on that ROW or in the ditch making tie-ins or on the pipe gang or firing line. In my heart I will always be a pipeliner! The best people I ever knew. Thanks.
I’ve worked in safety in the Oil&Gas Industry, mostly in the “Pipeline Construction” side of it. Doing “Contract Safety”. And I have LOVED IT!! For 30 years!!! Some of the best men I’ve ever met have been “Union Pipeline Welders!!!!
I was on the right of way as a filer. Many years ago. I filed pipe all day every day for weeks. Stand around all day playing quarters. And then right at quitting time the pipe shows up . Unload till two in the morning. They never let me in. No grinding no welding nothing. I will tell whoever is reading this, if for some reason someone doesn't like you your are screwed. You will not be part of their crew . It's that simple. It got to the point I drug up five miles from the nearest dirt road and twenty from the nearest town. I went back to masons tending and carpentry. So don't think your can walk up on a right of way and everyone is gonna shake your hand, it ain't like that. To any newbies welding is the easy part.
@@deerepower337 1). Union or not, pipeliners are about as real as men and women can get. We all work hard out on the R.O.W. 2). Nobody in my union tells me how to vote.

@@CherylAnn798 that’s the sad part about it and only being in for 4 years now I worry about some of the newer guys I’m with and whether they’ll take care of themselves or take care of the brotherhood if it comes down to it
Jordan, you are right, there is a brotherhood in the pipeline. I'm a 627 Operator of over 12 years and have worked on a number of pipeline jobs for several contractors, Price Gregory as seen in this video being one of them. On all of those jobs, I have worked with so many good men and women of all races, ages, and walks of life. Didn't matter what union they were working under, whether it was Operator, 798, Laborer, Electrician, Iron worker, there's a good sense of brotherhood and comradery. Just like anywhere, you're not gonna get along with or make friends with everyone you encounter, but for the most part I've had great experiences and worked with many people that would give you whatever cash they had in their pocket if you were in a bind. @Cheryl Ann Lager, you are definitely right on that one! And it's not just 798 union members, I think it's in every union now. I know it's that way in the Operator's, I've seen a lot of people come in, young and old, that don't really care, they just see the good pay and benefits, and are in it for themselves, and somehow feel entitled because they're a union member. I'm a 3rd generation Operator. My dad is a 45yr member and my grandpa was in for a number of years in the past. My career path might change in the future, but I take great pride in being an IUOE member and being able to follow in the footsteps of many great men and women before me that paved the way to what we have now. So many people wanna talk down on and bash the unions, but those are also the people who know nothing about them. The people who don't know their history, and don't know that without unions,,,, We wouldn't have,,, WEEKENDS, safe work conditions, 8 hour work days for many, good pay, and many other things. Anyways I'm done rambling, glad you had a good run in the laborers and 798 Cheryl and thanks for the video

As a retired pipeline welder here in the UK it all looks so familiar shame that maybe the best days are gone but you never know, it remains to be seen if green energy can replace gas and oil. Good luck to all fellow pipeliners in the USA.
If that is the type of pipe I think it is, those welds are special sticks that are x-ray quality when finished. Only extremely small bubbles are allowed. These guys are pros
It’s called porosity,..not bubbles. They are likely using 6010 root and Lo-Hy or “hippie” for fill and cap. Pipe is API 5L X52. Normal day on the R.O.W. Pre qualified procedure performed by all welders per API 1104. Either a “Butt and Branch” test or a “Bell-hole and a Branch”
This right here is the dream that I envision for my career. I want this so bad I just don’t know where to start and how to get into that area of the field
I had to pull up and leave with my arc constantly blowing out with 100 mph. winds and a water spowt on its way, knocking the crane down later smashing down on the empty moblehome office. Do you guys weld in winds over 100 mph. ?
Are they now unemployed Keystone pipliners. Sure don't look like they fit in soft hi tech solar fitting job. Peace and heartfelt condolences for lost jobs guy's. Stay strong fellas, you are invaluable assets to your country. God bless ya.
@@railmaker thing of it is. All these unemployed union workers will still vote for Biden next time around. They'll blame everyone but Biden. Hell they'll probably still be blaming Trump 4 years after the fact. Brainwashed sheeple. They do what they're told.
Millions of miles of pipelines across the USA that need maintenance and still new pipe to be laid. Keystone was a big project but I won't make or break local 798 or the UA for that matters. There's been projects before that haven't worked out but I guess Keystone is the talking point right now. And for the record Biden and the democrats are the only ones trying to protect collective bargaining right now while the Republicans try to make the whole country right to work so yes we'll vote for Biden again and again cause the Republicans hate unions

@@kanodelosreyes5995 Kano if I were you I would work in the field a few years to learn how things are done and how to deal with the conditions that you encounter. I think you will be a better Inspector.
Hello. I am writing through a translator. Tell me, what is going on with you? It is clear that you are pulling the pipeline, I do not understand such a number of cars. Where did all this come from? Do you work for an organization and this is its car? or do you work for yourself and are your personal cars ready for welding work? Does the organization give you a task and you go anywhere in your country to fulfill an order in your equipped cars? or how it happens with you. Very interesting. I am a welder, but in another country. We call it a watch. For example, on 30/30, you work for thirty days somewhere in another part of the country, and then you rest at home for thirty days. You can also work at home in enterprises, but the salary is less than shift work. Thanks
I would like to get into 798 union. When is the best time to join. I'll turn 49 in January. I have over 20 experience in welding. Structure, pipe, stick, wire feed.
Make an application....do it now! I started in the union 2007 at 52 years old, and retired in 2017...I have a great pension that added to my SS...and talk about 401K...
@OliverDude damn straight! Best spot is working with the bead hands...my favorite...no wear and tear on that truck! 60 hrs. Breaks, lunch, and a good cold beer for the ride home...miss that!
Inside the pipe are internal clamps that hold the pipe square so you can get the space you need for the bead.The smoke inside the pipe is smoke from the first rod. Putting the bead in will cause smoke to go inside the pipe.
The busses are to take the hands from the yard out to the right of way where they'll be working. Operators, welders, and those driving and riding in company trucks are the only ones that drive out. Well, inspectors and others too
Pipelining will be dead soon..thanks to the biden administration..the same demoncrats that unions voted for..now they bitch about losing their jobs.better look for a "green job in solar"John Kerry
Of course each has a rig...that gives them money for that truck...how else could we lay all that pipe? A guy welding off one machine? Helpers ride the bus
Every welder has a helper...then there's the helpers that pre heat the pipe with propane...and helpers that carry the ground, and some of those people could be laborers...
Union for life brothers.You want a life ya need a union. think not try urning your life with out one.when a new boss comes along on a non union job and his nefew whants a job guess what your going home,, been there done that.try that with a strong union aint happening boys.good job out there.
Unions poison. Get the workers to always demand more money, and a new owner comes along and imports third worlders to do your job, and EVERYBODY'S GOING HOME. Why do you think everything is made in China???? Why do you think the auto and steel mills are all overseas..??? Because of shitty unions.
that was ten years ago too!...wow...fast forward to 2019...take a look at my video called SO YA WANNA BADASS WELDERS TRUCK...BIG BUCKS...holy cow those trucks now...wow...show trucks...not made for a real pipeline ROW
Work union live better, oh yes , I’m a ol union millwright, but now just do my own thing , truck drive ,weld, cut , hauling my own scrap metal and junk cars, nice , thanks beautiful, love ya for it , stay safe out , praise Jesus Christ grace Christ amen BigAl California.
If it’s union it can provide training for you to get out there in the field and for welding you’ll need to go to a pipeline welding course and get certified. Hope I make sense !
No way I would ever want to be a pipeliner! I'm not enough gypsy to want to do that traveling and living in trailers. I'll stick to welding at my table in a comfortable shop. But my hat is off to anyone who CAN do that job!
Depends on the scale in the area they're working, and the contract. I worked on the Keystone back in 2013 down in east Texas building a pump station and one in Oklahoma, and the 798 welders were getting around $45/hr, like $15/hr rig pay for their truck, and I think over $100/day per diem. Also I think I remember them guaranteed 12 hours a day. So yeah they were bringing home $4-5k a week or so
And Danny just told the entire country what Union Pipeline Welders make? However, the cost of running those trucks cross country, TWO HOMES TO MAINTAIN, FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND, these are the best in the pipeline industry in all of AMERICA
@@CherylAnn798 I’m sure I don’t have any doubt it.. and yes that’s the hard part is leaving your house and kissing everyone goodbye for a few months at a time

@@zionstephens5467 no...I was in the laborers union in Washington state...met a welder in the Pipeliners union...so I joined in 2007 and became a helper ...I never learned to weld...most helpers go on and become welders, I was 52 when I started and retired from it in 2017...good luck!
The United Association has backed Biden since 2020....which 798 is a part of....some of the members chose to back the GOP candidate...TRUMP....the rapist, the con man, the art of stealing American dollars...Biden at least has a brain, and has produced a lot of work for the union...yes...I'm still riding with Biden...if that's what you were wondering!
@@ConstructionFun1 yeah one for now how many more will go, I can guarantee its gonna be all of them because Biden's "green energy deal" is his sons company and biden is probably getting a massive kickback off it which is hilarious tbf.
@@DatBoiOrly Well if you guarantee it, then it must be true. How do you propose that he's going to stop all of the pipelines being built today in Canada? Also, just so you know, the "green energy deal" is not a company. So, there's that. But if it were, would it be owned by the lawyer Hunter Biden? Or Beau Biden, who died in 2015?
Every hand has a job, and when there is nothing going on?...what do you think the non union does it any different? So until you know how to pipeline, keep your mouth shut.lol!
Well .. lol I did work the pipeline. Field mechanic local 18. Welders wouldn’t work one day because of a broken weld on a clamp. I had to drop the repair I was on to fix the clamp so they could start their weld. Repair took me 3 minutes. What a lazy bunch. I come from and am back to non union work. I was only there because it was in my backyard and money was great.
For those who dont know, this is the Super Bowl of the welding community.
why is that?
@@CuttinWithCody Because they think they're God's gift to mankind that's why. There's people all over this world that can weld just as good as these guys they're just not on the "pipeline" or work for the "798".

Why do you think everything is made in China???? Why do you think the auto and steel mills are all overseas..???
Because of shitty unions.

I saw a lot of made in Mexico trucks
This is NOT about welding a pipeline. It’s about people.
Well...I did say..."Hot Rod Welders"....well go watch us weld and lay a pipeline under the Ohio river...
SO YA THINK YOU'RE BADASS PIPEMAN
Miss being on the front end
Me too! Although I lost my hearing from all my grinding 😕 ... I'll make more videos of the front end!...from 2017...this is ten years ago!

798🇺🇸
I am a young man from Algeria. Look for a job in the field of pipe welding. Can you advise me?
Are you in the US?
@@CherylAnn798 I am not in the United States.
@@omaromar-to3ki I don't know how I could help you...sorry
@@CherylAnn798 Thank you, there is no problem
Is it hard to get into this?
If it’s union it can provide training for you to get out there in the field and for welding you’ll need to go to a pipeline welding course and get certified. Hope I make sense !
Lived my life in that mud. Hoed out lmao
Those skid cradles are fukin flawless
No way I would ever want to be a pipeliner! I'm not enough gypsy to want to do that traveling and living in trailers.
I'll stick to welding at my table in a comfortable shop.
But my hat is off to anyone who CAN do that job!
How much do these dudes make?
A lot of money.
Depends on the scale in the area they're working, and the contract. I worked on the Keystone back in 2013 down in east Texas building a pump station and one in Oklahoma, and the 798 welders were getting around $45/hr, like $15/hr rig pay for their truck, and I think over $100/day per diem. Also I think I remember them guaranteed 12 hours a day. So yeah they were bringing home $4-5k a week or so
Already woulda had light goin..
Nice video I love be a pipeline
They rolled them leads up nice 10:51
Yes...by a very particular welder...Mr. Cody Pedigo!
That’s a lot of money running around over there
Oh yes it is!
And Danny just told the entire country what Union Pipeline Welders make? However, the cost of running those trucks cross country, TWO HOMES TO MAINTAIN, FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND, these are the best in the pipeline industry in all of AMERICA
@@CherylAnn798 I’m sure I don’t have any doubt it.. and yes that’s the hard part is leaving your house and kissing everyone goodbye for a few months at a time
@@CherylAnn798 did you say two families to maintain?
@@c50ge we lived on the road in a 5th wheel... very seldom you get to land a job in your home back yard....
Shaun Thornhill is a missing person?
Since Jan 2012 ...did they find him?...
Yo I don't know anything, I was asking you!
I could be 1 of the best but i dont care i about that, what i care is the pay in my check
Does anyone here know Danny Lott?
I am welding 6g electric pipes, and I will be in America soon. Can I have a contact number and work for you? Thank you
dad welded buicks
That's wild!
Not everyone can weld. Round and. Round. Even harder to be slick at it.
Епт все крутые меры нет💪💪💪💪💪у всех пикапы, крутое сварочное оборудование, сварочный культ... Это круто ребята💪💪💪💪💪
what happen too them?
RONNIE died last year...Shaun has been missing since he left this job...his truck was found...he's never been found!
@@CherylAnn798 I am sorry to hear that. My condolence to Ronnie's family. Is there an ongoing investigation for Shaun? Best wishes from Local 12/IUEC Kansas City.
@@chetboisen1187 I looked him up under his name, Shaun Thornhill, The Charley Project. Shows he was in Louisiana when he went missing...truck was found, he never was....although, he left the job because of suspected drug use...sad for his family for sure...this video was the last pics of him.
Gravy
A lot of people can weld vertical down
And they're X-rayed?
Biden no fan of the pipeline..
@@CherylAnn798 Hopefully Biden makes all your union dreams come true. Thanks for the reply
I hope Biden didn't throw them out of work?
Scoff..scoff..yea..what do you think?unions voted for biden then cry about losing their jobs
Мужики тут круче Чака Норриса 💪💪💪💪😁😁😁правда, все вместе взятые
Yes brother...but is Chuck cool still?
Egyptian way
Ah the pipeline
Hey...good name for my next video...
Easy money
Wow
You must be friends with my rat nephew Jordan!....you sound like him...rat
I know iam one
Why don’t they weld up hill
Because it is too slow....and not necessary...
@@CherylAnn798 Burnin in that 5P root!
I want to do this really bad when I graduate high school I prolly be the only black person out there
There's all colors out there! I was a woman ...and sometimes? Well, I WAS THE ONLY WOMAN OUT THERE. Just saying
@@CherylAnn798 that’s good to know and did you go to welding school?
@@zionstephens5467 no...I was in the laborers union in Washington state...met a welder in the Pipeliners union...so I joined in 2007 and became a helper ...I never learned to weld...most helpers go on and become welders, I was 52 when I started and retired from it in 2017...good luck!
@@CherylAnn798 Oh
I think it might be better to do it well (not bad)
ha ha
Not one Mexican in sight
There's many in our union and also the laborers union...etc....best workers out there!
@@CherylAnn798 hook me up save me from California !
@@CherylAnn798 how can I apply ??
@Tyler X facts fuck California taxes are up the ass here I’m looking to relocate to Texas
@@Lookatitclosely559 she cant tell you,she can only run that mouth.probably never struck an arc.
Did the 798 union endorse Biden or Trump in the 2020 election?
The United Association has backed Biden since 2020....which 798 is a part of....some of the members chose to back the GOP candidate...TRUMP....the rapist, the con man, the art of stealing American dollars...Biden at least has a brain, and has produced a lot of work for the union...yes...I'm still riding with Biden...if that's what you were wondering!
All these jobs GONE!!! I hate BIDEN!!!! Trump 2021
No, not all of these jobs are gone. Biden revoked the permit on one pipeline. There are many, many others across North America that are on the go.
I don't think one pipeline can represent all
@@ConstructionFun1 yeah one for now how many more will go, I can guarantee its gonna be all of them because Biden's "green energy deal" is his sons company and biden is probably getting a massive kickback off it which is hilarious tbf.
@@DatBoiOrly Well if you guarantee it, then it must be true. How do you propose that he's going to stop all of the pipelines being built today in Canada? Also, just so you know, the "green energy deal" is not a company. So, there's that. But if it were, would it be owned by the lawyer Hunter Biden? Or Beau Biden, who died in 2015?
I would like to see trump put the gloves on too biden😂
Really working hard driving buses and trucks
There’s no way we are still welding by hand. Orbital welding has spoiled me.
Yep, looks like a union job. Lots of "watchers" standing around getting paid the big bucks lol
Every hand has a job, and when there is nothing going on?...what do you think the non union does it any different? So until you know how to pipeline, keep your mouth shut.lol!
Well .. lol I did work the pipeline. Field mechanic local 18. Welders wouldn’t work one day because of a broken weld on a clamp. I had to drop the repair I was on to fix the clamp so they could start their weld. Repair took me 3 minutes. What a lazy bunch. I come from and am back to non union work. I was only there because it was in my backyard and money was great.
