How many people died ?

@@rougeone1394 .surprisingly none.

belly flop Union work? What state

@@rougeone1394 .no in was not Union.that was just one of many problems

@@rougeone1394 .most job were in Memphis.and I did sign up for the Union.167.but it didn't work out because I let my ego get in the way,and a boss that promised shit he never kept etc

Three years later... what's your status update?

HEY YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON! 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

@@walker7155 it’s just a excited pipe fitter watching some work

not easy work either. Everyone’s cocky until they actually get up there, those troughs can be intimidating for sure. But he handled it like a man.

100% tie off does suck and does slow one down but you can't put a price on your life. I get the old timers didn't learn being tied off so it was an annoyance. Worked with a guy that never wanted to tie off. I would always tell him... i mean wtf you're wearing a harness! I attended his funeral. He fell and was working alone. No telling how long he was there before someone seen him. I couldn't even imagine just laying there thinking.

What in the fuck did I just read

I was thinking the same thing, check out the second comment with Raul Rodriguez I honestly had no idea what he was talking about.

@@Alpha-Scythe23 English obviously isn't their first language

Kevin Lappan 🤘🏼

721 baby

Feel free to post a video and show us how it’s done there big dog…

@@spudwrencheddie that's big talk for a basket bunny. Stick to Butler buildings princess, you won't make it on a real job.

@@lmaolmao8826 yep, seven years later and I never made it to the big job, what local are you out of?

That doesn’t even make sense, care to elaborate?

@@spudwrencheddie the flange caught the bolt my brother...

tell your kids about this stuff! I’m glad I couldn’t go to college because I had no choice but to go into skilled trades, but some kids are so damn smart then they go to college for something dumb. Tell them about structural engineering, and welding, and construction all great skilled trades!

Raul they use to say an Ironworker can do anyone's job but only an Ironworker can do ironwork.

Vincent Quattrocchi you should google “DTI washers”, also called “direct torque indicators”. Which have tabs that depress when the bolt is torqued to the correct spec, they require a typical flat washer ok between the nut and dti to allow for even pressure throughout the surface of the dti. Then when you’re done researching that, you should google “not talking trash when you don’t know wtf you’re talking about.”

@@spudwrencheddie im a journeyman union ironworker, you obviously didn't get the joke that "detail will get it".

A 3/4" A325 structural bolt should be between 250-425ft pounds. There are also TC bolts, which are pulled and snapped by a TC gun, which are used with load indicator washers. When the washer is flattened, it has been torqued.

@@peteywheatstraws4909 Thank you for the info.

elsnoopy503 I would but I put down the sleeper bar and picked up a radio buddy

The red is paint yes.we call it red iron.aka prefab

It’s a maintenance facility for military equipment, we built three of them on this project. 160’ span on the rafters and 600’ long

@@spudwrencheddie 160 clear span?

@@spudwrencheddie .most I've done was 150 clear.i quit doing them at the end of last year.biggest I did was one for NASA.wasnt wide or anythinf just real tall

belly flop I can’t remember but it was around 160’ clear span

Hunter Doxtater ? What does that mean?

JPORHINT one washer is a “DTI”(direct torque indicator), it has tabs that compress upon tensioning, indicating that the desired tension has been reached

I’m not sure. How about you post a video of how it’s done there hot shot…

Local 86 bro

433 for life tho bruh

Adrian O Donovan seems we do things a little differently, Union Ironworker Local 86, Seattle

Ken Ratte they are direct torque indicator washers.

@@spudwrencheddie oh ok, thanks

lol, maybe you can answer another question. I saw a video were after the bolts were tightened they hammered in steel pegs

Ken Ratte this are general pins that keep the nut from coming off. They are usually used in a situation where vibration may be an issue

@@spudwrencheddie thanks again. Happy New Year

Dominic Filkin I had just turned out

Dominic Filkin now imagine doing this with undercover cops harrasing you playing a old sex video of you all fucked up they drugged you with daily at the job

Nice try OSHA!

Adrian O Donovan yeah, I’m an Ironworker, that’s what we do bro

It’s called getting the rigging off and there is no other way and it’s easier to walk beams than get in and out of a basket with a harness on and have a hand man with your hardware ready for you than going back to it everytime and wasting time

Always faster on the steel believe it and it’s way easier walking the steel then doing everything off a lift just gotta not be scared

I never went to “boilermaker school”, if that’s even a thing? I am a second generation UNION ironworker and there is ZERO back and fourth for me. I embrace the safety, get paid great money to do a fun job and come home to my family, it’s pretty awesome. I guess for those who failed actual school, they “just float bak n forth” without ever using any punctuation. Cool story bro, take your negativity elsewhere, and on your way, pick up a comma or two...

No tc bolts on pre fab buildings its a big garadge 11/4 bigest bolt then 3/4 threw perlims 5/6 days and all big iron is up on most good work except the insalation and u need ironworkers and tin knockers

If you write that in English I can answer your question but I don’t know what that means bro

getredytagetredy ?

@@spudwrencheddie hes talking about your gloves lol

@@Shitty796 gotcha, I was so confused

paperfade I had turned out about 6 month earlier, why?

I thought the same thing🤨

Robert Duff keyboard warrior strikes again, post a video of the right way if you’re so damn good bro

Robert Duff hey dumb ass one of the washers is a direct torque indicator it squirts out a jell when the proper torque is achieved

Robert Duff if you were anything close to a real Ironworker, youd be on the damn iron and not in lift. Guess you're just scared of walking iron...

Wtf? Sitting on the column Instead of the boom lift is a problem? That’s how it’s supposed to be done. Fuck boomlifts. they ruined ironwork.

robert hagadon hey buddy thanks for the positive feedback, always good to hear from a brother who wants to see another succeed... 🖕🏼

Eddie Jezek sorry didn't realize there was snowflake Ironworkers nowadays.

Eddie Jezek well if it's your first time then maybe not so bad fucker. Ironworkers always hard on each other you should know that, always been like that. Do you need a participation award?

I’ve never put the nuts facings towards the center the usually go towards the outside like he did

There different.ive built hundreds of them.sometimes they face the peak,sometimes they face the outside.depends on the building.least that's my experience with them.

Post a video or gtfo

Alan Johnson : What local are you from? Apprentices should be seen and not heard. Know your role punk!

Well, being that I’ve been in since January 2007, according to your logic I can be both seen and heard, so hear this: this was my first real connecting gig right after I turned out. piss off, local 86 Seattle, Wa. Come to town and see what’s up.

Eddie Jezek u still slow bitch

Alan Johnson well how bout you post a video and show me what’s up? Until then keep up that keyboard warrior status, you do you

Eddie your killing me. I put Alan Johnson's name at the top of my comment directing it at him. I'm trying to stick up for you Bro. Alan Johnson is a Joe! Till he proves otherwise
