    My great uncles were millwrights. They even built their own car and the only thing they couldn't make themselves was the spark plugs. Thinking of taking up whats in the blood. Cheers

    22 years old and a 4th year millwright going for my Journeyman. Never saw myself taking this route but I absolutely do not regret giving it a shot. I love it.

    millwright isn't what it used to be.... unions are pretty weak these days and wages are a lot lower than boilermakers or pipe-fitters in most areas. This coming from a 3rd generation Millwright.

    My grandfather was a millwright his entire life. He retired from Great Northern paper mill in East Millinocket, Maine. I was curious as to what he did so I ended up here.

    To everyone wishing to become a millwright, learn how to cuss and don’t be scared of getting your hands bloody. Be able to eat your lunch with hydraulic fluid covered hands. Love the burning sensation of overhead welding. Crawl in tight spaces that are often soaked with water or some other type of fluid. Work so much overtime you don’t remember the last time you saw the “free world”. Oh, and don’t forget to get up on a lift ten stories high while signaling a crane operator in the pouring rain/snow.

    I am a machinist by trade & a millwright by choice in the Old & gas industry, Both upstream & down stream in the last 30 years. Can't think of any other job that suits me. On my off-days I do carpentry as a hobby a handyman in the home.

    There is a lot to learn but once you do each thing a few times itll catch on, dont half ass your ppe and dont be afraid to deny unsafe work even if its frowned upon, or youll end up like me with a 20 stitch scar across your face with a crooked nose

    Just finished my apprenticeship. Going on 5 years now. I’m in house at a engine plant atm. Love my job. Not much work to do at an engine play compared to an assembly plant

    Obviously, the guy that's narrating this isn't a millwright.
