There's old ironworkers, and there's bold ironworkers, but there aint no old bold ironworkers. Work smart, work safe and God bless ya. RD ironworker local 25 Detroit. Retired (32 years)

I read the " Destroyer " series of books a long time ago. I do not know if they are still available, but they are far better than this movie.

Single dumbest job in which one can put themselves.

Amazing guys 🙏

These guys are heroes to me.

RIP Fred

It makes me nervous watching this! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Balls the size of Volkswagen's....

“If I win the lottery I’d still come back”. That’s something that most Ironworkers feel, it’s an amazing living. Opportunity too see and do things that most don’t, and a damn good wage for doing it. I’ve been a Union IW since the age of 18. I don’t know much of anything else. They say that you’re not supposed to let your job define who you are. I believe I speak for most Ironworkers when I say that WE ARE IRONWORKERS, and we love it. The brotherhood makes it a lifestyle. We may have other hobbies, but none compare to going to work!

Hats off to all our iron workers

Let's see here...Basic Speed 8, Combat Reflexes, Enhanced Dodge 5...

I can walk on a curb I could do that easily! It’s a young mans game. God bless!

👊

This is what spider man gotta see everyday in New York if you think about it.

tough guy aye?

I certainly have a lot of respect for these guys. I don't see how they can ever get used to the heights. Fear is a terrible feeling, and yet these guys over come it. My hat goes off to them!

that's reasonable $32.20 an hour to be in the air!

If I made the cash they make, fear would blow away with the wind.

In Europe they don't have iron workers free walking at height..... Health and safety are very strict.... And they have very few deaths and injuries. A job is not worth your life.

No F'in way!

It's very true what this connector says if you lose focus you may lose everything God bless brother live high and be free!!!

The biggest balls in construction! All us other tradesmen usually give these guys much respect!

Worked with a fellow ironworker from the islands... He said who's dumber, the people who work in the building... Or the people who put them up?? Something to think about... If you want to be tough you better be dumb!!

This is male privlige at its finest this is why there is a so called wag gap

They don't wear safety equipment fuck meh!!

Their poor wives

Did this for about 2 years at a site of a coal fired electric generating plant outside of Houston, TX. Literally worked my way from the ground up. This video does a good job explaining the mindset needed to walk the high iron. For me, relaxed on the drive up to the site. But everyone got quiet when we pulled into the dirt parking area. I would think to my self "You have a 50/50 chance of living today". It helped me stay focused, yet relaxed at the same time. You could be walking a beam, kinda miss a step, but keep on going like you were walking on a sidewalk. Other days, you stop, look down, say "oh shit", then crawl for a bit. Climb the stairs to the turbine deck, get you tools out of the gang box, and off you go. But even the best have days where something is not right. They get their stuff, and after a little while, come back, put their stuff back in the gang box, and go home. And on one says a word. No one. Better to be focused than distracted. As far as falling. No one wants to fall, but if you do, hopefully you are far enough up that you break your neck and die instantly. Beats living with a mangled body the rest of your life.

Proud to be a retired union ironworker. Best job in the world.

Awesome, I'm a proud iw out of central pa for 21year 's

LOL at Denny checking out Colin's shave haha 1:45

The good old days , modern construction sites , are so infested with rules , regulations and glowing workwear.That all the fun has been rung out of it by stuffy nosed bureaucrats and lawyers.Any protests are immediately stymied with the threat of fines for perceived unsafe work practices , that 20 yrs earlier where perfectly acceptable.Plus all the extra construction costs related to compliance with a never ending list of BS.
