Fuck yeah! I’m a steel fixer as well (rodbuster) and as shit as our job is, I fucking love it. Keep tying that steel brother 💪🏾 🇦🇺Australian Steelies🇦🇺

I'm 19 about to Start this week only 5,5 wish me luck my friend

@@aprasifuentes3437 how is it bro ?? And did you have any experience in the construction fields before ??

@@ernestotafoya7 no I'm short service my friend but now I git the hang of it and damn I'm in love with the work environment and well the money hard working job but gets all your needs

I started just after my 18th birthday, about to turn 28 in a month this year. The rodbuster life is the only life for me, I lcoe the environment, I love the crew, I love the work, and it's one hell of a confidence boost now that I'm running my own crews and in charge of my own towers. Best job I ever had and I'll die with rebar on the mind lmao

@John Manci I do

retired from field at 60, pension checks are nice, hang in there bro!

@@roddiener1235 were you able to make a good living when you were working?

@@ADAM-tw6ej Yes, suck up as much OT as you can when you're young......Union provided good wages (could be higher), pension, vacation pay, annuity, great medical, dental, vision plan. It's hard work, you'll sleep good at night, eat right and stay off the shit.

Самая лучшая работа.I love this kind of hard work.

Fucking hell!!! 30 years 😱 That’s Mad respect OG 🙌🏾 As a steel fixer here in Australia 🇦🇺, Enjoy retirement and all the best. You’ve definitely earned it.

My dad would pick me up after work and we would hit the bars with all his work friends they knew how to party that’s for sure

pavel havrisciuc bro hurry the fuck up and tie faster. -From your Foreman 😚

Literally had that happen today lol

haval 7 see more fuckin ass holes trust me I’m a gf and I have no hope for the future kids Fucking idiots

Hard work no gym needed

@@jonathanocana4140 we do get a raise every 6 months

Keenan May I can only assume that your family owns bar m? Get ahold of me kid, I got a job for you, im in 86 also.

Hell yea brother I'm a local 86 IW too

Local 86 here as well.

Keenan May i bet your related to link may dwyane may and chad may huh? :)

You don’t get it. And that’s also the attitude that brings down entire communities.

You think that boss will forget what they did for him? No he/she will not.

Matthew you’re wrong, actually it builds communities up. There’s respect I. This work but look at the facts, this is a you g mans game and you will blow out your back. This work is not sustainable, as a father you wouldn’t want your kid to “endure” this type of work. You push towards stem studies making 100,000k doing work with your BRAIN.

@@tuttifrutti9698 I know rodbusters making $180,000 a year

That boss will squeeze the juice out of them while he can. The next generation of men will be soft and delicate

Oop. Found the Canadian! (Calling it 30m was a giveaway)

Rod Bustahh416 got a few buddies from 416, they came out here to 584 to be ironworkers

Started off 847 in phoenix then transferred to 75… still 847 in my bones 🦴 🏗👍🏼

Capital G brotha

Ha ha ha ha Have fun playing with the rods. It is just like playing with legos

Does the job pay good? 100k a year?

@@davidsolis5075 depends bro 80k too 140k

@@jamessilby1814 that's really good,but is it mostly on overtime?

@@davidsolis5075 11hr days here brother.... fifo life lol

Every Structural we've hired didn't last.

shuttering is encasing the rebar in plyboard like a mould that's how it's done for precast specials that can't be made on site

You are too smart for this trade. Go into politics.

The 1/8's rule stops at a #8, 9 and above are larger in diameter than 9/8, 10/8, 11/8's etc.....check ASTM Standards.

MrJB97 .... donde puedo encontrar trabajo de RODBUSTER a qui en San Francisco.. 415 5717302 ahí dejo mi num... si tengo experiencia y claro quiero aprender mas

Are you Canadian or from Europe? I've worked with Canadians and Bosnians they used nips I never could get the feel for those things always broke the wire haha. Bars in the USA all go by 1/8ths of an inch so a number 4 is 4/8ths which means 1/2 in. A number 8 is an inch diameter. Goes 3-11s 14s and 18s I've heard of bars bigger then 18s but never worked with or seen them

@@jonasjelich4576 Hello mate I'm from Northern England. I suppose that the nearest thing we've got to am inch bar would be T25, that's 25 millimetres diameter tensile steel. On our drawings, say a bottom mat it would read something like this: 126 05 150 B1 so that's 126 bar mark 05 at 150 centres on bottom one which is lowest on the cross section so B2 is the bar on top that laces the mat; T1 & T2 is top. In walls it'll say FF & NF or EF which means får face, near face and each face. Then on the schedule (bending sheet) it will detail what 05 is: diameter, length, shape and amount American fixers are known as Rod Pushers I've heard? You guys will have lots of sky scraper experience in the States I guess. I still do the odd shifts, just small private jobs like rafts for house or garage extensions, swimming pools, that kind of thing but I retired a few years ago

@@jonasjelich4576 Your 18's must be same as our 50mm that's the same as the external circumference of a scaffold tube. Our stock lengths are 12m (40ft) but in special circumstances it can get bigger) I worked on a nuclear reactor base and that had 13 layers of 50mm at 18 lengths shaped like half of a key hole.

@@eardwulf785 Oh England nice cheers from across the pond brother! The bending sheet and wall detail is the same thing here. A straight bar they'll say length in feet and the quantity needed liked 2×15 #8 30ft @12in which means at two different locations you will have 15 number 8 (1 inch diameter) spaced out at a foot. Special bars like a wall dowel or a bar with in awkward bend like a Z bar will have a mark number on it to identify it such has 9B02. The first number will always tell you how big the bar is so that would be a number 9 (1 in and a 1/8 diameter) we do lots of high rises and skyscrapers an every since 9/11 they have started using core walls in the center of the buildings where the elevator shafts and stair wells will be. It used to be all sheet rock now it is all reinforced concrete since 9/11. Congratulations on retirement enjoy it! We have a hard job but honest and very rewarding! And we are called "Rod Busters" over here in the USA

@@jonasjelich4576 Sounds like we're not so different infact technically speaking I have worked in America. We have USAAF bases scattered across the UK, in the south east mostly. Many moons ago around the time that the Berlin wall came down I worked on USAAF Alconbury and although the RAF were based their too it was known as little America. It was fucking great I was still in my twenties, American currency was used on site so we couldn't use the cigarette vending machine but some of the servicemen would sort it out for us. Every morning without fail the American national anthem would be played over multiple tannoys. It was used by the Eighth Air Force, 93rd bomber group since 1942. With Russia becoming less of a threat it was closed down along with other bases but I've heard it is going to be recommissioned as a result of the situation in Ukraine. Yeah the Eighth AF are a legend around here.

no, rodbusters and structural guys are 2 different companies, but same union, you’ll have to keep switching compainies if u wanna do both

​@@kingoverdose9873 Ah ok thank you very much for the info, One more question if you don't mind, Do you get to pick where you do structural or rodbusting, or do you get assigned to whatever you're more qualified for?

@@connorlowis4774 you are giving a dispatch to different places, you don’t get to choose were you wanna work at

@@kingoverdose9873 ok thanks alot man

@@connorlowis4774 for the apprentices. If the job they get sent on is slow. (Say one day off sitting at home because employer is slow. A apprentice can go to the hall tell dispatch you would like to be considered on the unfilled job journeyman does not want. (Job hanging) Now you working for new employer. (Hall will tell you old employer, so a replacement can be sent if they need one.) Journeyman do what ever they want at new job posted at dispatch. Only the Journeymen can pick and choose or drag up even.
