If there was a lead hand on that crew he wasn’t doing his job. He should have never let you climb with no gloves, he should have kept the other guys out of the fall zone, that bolt should have been replaced , the lashing was wrapped incorrectly on the left side of the pole,. Other than that congratulations on getting into the industry , it fed and housed my family for over 40 years

I was a telecom lineman and supervisor for many years. I would never ever, nor let my crew, drop their trash. If something did fall, the groundman picked it up immediately.

Lashing in the left is rolled on the wrong side! And why an 18" bolt on small pole like this? 🤷‍♂️

Little bit of advice get a set of 9s cut the coating off them weld a 7/16 and 1/2 deep well socket on either side of the handle put shrink boot on for a coating won’t need two tools when you go up for new build, but I do carry a set of cable cutters with me in case I need to cut a strap

How many clamps do you plan on putting on that thru bolt.

Lmfao I don’t know why but headaches as long as no one got hurt always make me laugh cause you know there’s a wise ass down bottom gonna say some smart shit

Nice. 1 guy doing all the work while 4 others watch. Just like any other site 😂

Ahhh we still don’t know how to properly tie a bug nut. Also, you can transfer the lasher first, so your bug nut isn’t so far from the pole, then cut the wire in the middle

Need a bending board or Jackson bender, that expansion bend is a radial crack a few years down the road

Wrapped his wire wrong

wtf why did you go against the wrap of the lasher when you started the left side no wonder that gets a window halfway back the span

To funny watching you newbies,reminds me of me back when and now I see it as so simple and easy. Time will tell,you'll learn

Waiting on fibre in my neighborhood, and am curious how it gets strung. Thanks for the video, and thanks for your work. Doesn't look fun at all, doing this without a bucket truck. Why are there five guys doing what looks like a two-man job?

Where do you get those zip tie spacers

Try with 600 pair telephone cable 😅

Is it me or did that expansion loop look a little long?

Did line school, signed the books as a groundman. I just want a job climbing but seems there’s no work.

One guy works hard and four others do nothing, what kind of crew is this?

I feel like this is safer that the ladder crap with the harness

Why does everyone do the 3 wraps and big ass loop (beauty mark) on their big nuts? The manufacturer very specifically says that wrapping it that way "will result in premature failure".

That 1 long bolt there

I am embarrassed to see the quality of work now being produced by "gumps" such as these. I spent 50 years in the telecom industry and was taught quality is an absolute. Hence the name - Craftsman. But those days are gone. There are too many quality / safety issues with this video to take up time addressing. I think these dudes need to find another job. I know that I they had come on my job sites they would certainly have been read the riot act and probably escorted out the door. Shame that no one is teaching proper construction procedures and you can see this all across the U.S. these days.

Double lash a fiber lol Or was it a road crossing

What a hack job! Please tell you went back to work at Wal-Mart!

Trash work. They will let anybody build these days.

Snips for side-cutters, wrap the lashing in the washers, two peanut clamps, climbing with no gloves. If I went up as an apprentice without a handline and dropped a tool, back down my ass was going. Times have changed. This cat was laughing and shouting and the way he spoke to crew, nah, not in my day. Tough to watch.....and listen.

Bro I hope that u progressed since the time of this video. all sequence get up pole place call out number bugnuts left nut right washer stand lock front gate back gate if using a c bridal swap lasher then fuck with ur straps and bonds

In search of an experienced cable lasher to run a crew in Wisconsin as a permanent job

I like loose lashing if it's appropriate for your climate.

I hope to God for the sake of the product that you have grown and by grown I mean out of these bad hbits. I understand that you may not have a board or jackson bender but take dome sort of pride in your work. I myself treat it all different than this. 6 to seven wraps on your loop side man idk do whatever but id put my foot down we were on the job together. Either you would do it right or id go up and literally delash your whole span. Either way 💯 percent it would get fixed

Lol. Why didn't you use a bending board? Prob because it's harder than swapping the lasher? Good job bro.

7x times for lashing wire to be wrapped for bug nut Need a Jackson bender for loop which would have prevented the suck out...If I was Comcast QC...you failed QC

Isn't it hard to climb so close to the pole and with your squeeze so tight on the pole? As I've gained experience climbimg I've learned it's much easier to climb with slack on your rope to let you have room from the pole. Lets you really lock your knees out easy. Having a little more slack on the squeeze on the pole lets you flick your wrist as you climb instead of pulling the whole squeeze up. You can tighten it when you get up if ya want.

Do you know what a bending board is?

oh! lashing machine

Pulling with the front gate instead of the d rings then complaining the gate came open?

When you aren’t taught the correct way to lash cable it’s a radical crack waiting to happen. Where are your gloves, Jackson cable bending block, shot gun with roller and a bell wrench to tighten the pole hardware and suspension clamp? Gone are the days of quality construction. 😂

I didn't know what the belt he used till some electrical line said I was using Widowmakers for my climbing gear and yeah bad job with the tools and trash. Sorry bro you would have been in trouble if I was training you.

Oh you line god. Comm sucks. 2” tape and zip ties work just fine.

lmfao, I would love to be on that country life. looks too ez compare to my city life. and did you just kinked that new .750? 😂😂😂 Idk about that Jackson Bend dude. plus how is a bug nut kicking your ass? lol that side snipper though. that double edge slow 7/16 though. what are those for? lol I hope you're hourly . cuz damn. lol 😂 😆 🤣

What the hell is that strap on your belt around the pole as you were climbing? I climbed 30 years hand over hand.

I hope it was by accident you dropped all of your trash on someone’s property

Get your self a pair of nines makes life way easier

sloooow af up that twig lol

Nice ripple in that expansion loop...I'm forwarding video to Comcast ...you all need a better trainer!!

No working gloves, not safety

I hope u don’t get paid by the door bc your slow af 🤣

Give the industry a bad name. People all underneath you waiting to get there brains busted when you drop a wrench. No bender. Specs state no hand bends. Bolt to long. Cussing where the property owner can hear you all. Bad news. U fired

Good job 🙂👍💪

Looks like you need help

WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT BUILD AERIAL OSP LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!! WOW! I dont know where to start with all that is wrong with this video. I would reject everything. In no particular order this plant would be rejected by me for the following reasons; 1)too many safety violations to name, 2)you need a bending board or jackson bender to form the loop, 3) the bolt is way too long, 4)I would never allow twisted lashing wire, they need to stay parallel, 5) never drop you waste to the ground, 6) if you do they for a living you need a pair of lineman boot at least a pair with a significant heel, In addition swap the lasher to the other side of the pole first, us a bridle on the lasher, (it is only a matter of time before it gets dropped), use the correct linemen tools, Klein 9s with 7/16 nut driver welded to the handle, get up higher on the pole to swap a lasher, repair the lasher, it is only half there (backdate is missing, briddle is missing, get the correct lineman tool pouch

Why you taking so long. I did this for 5 years and every person I know worked way faster than this.

I could literally do this so fast. And with gloves on. I rather stick to the power side of things. Much more exciting. I watched a telecom guy for 20 minutes try to figure out how to climb.

You are not doing it right!! You need a shotgun and a 750 if you trying to lash trunk of the ground. The way this is set up is over work

Bro you need to go back to line school lol wtf

There’s no excuse for poor craftsmanship

LMAO

Lol, oh these youngsters and their bucky squeezies

Slowwwwwww

You need to work on your climbing buddy let some greeen out and stop stressin out ur brown

BUM
