Keep the videos going cause once you hit you 3rd 4th 5th year you'll be doing some sweet stuff. And some day you'll look back at these videos and be like wow. Also believe it or not future apprentices will be tuning into your channel for an idea of what's what. Good luck brother. Be safe local 333 Battle Creek Michigan

Doing great. Pipefitting is a great trade to learn. Never be afraid to ask questions. One of my biggest pet peeves is having a helper that doesn't want to learn or doesn't want to ask questions. Never think you're the best fitter around. Always keep the apprentice mentality to try and learn something new every day. Learn your take offs for your °90's and °45's, learn your formulas, learn how to read ISO's and you'll be amazed at how much it simplifies everything for you. Practice your bevels on PVC pipe at home. Also. Invest in a level with rare earth magnets. Trust me on this. And get you some Chico pipefitter cards. They will be your best friend. Hope this advise comes in handy. Doing great bud. Hope to see a video on your first day as a journeyman pipefitter soon.

Quan Lateef Yeah if you’re coming in as a first year just try to get familiar with the tools and reading blueprints and being on time and everything you’re learning has a purpose behind it I’m a pipefitter apprentice working out and Macon but the school is pretty good as long as you stay focus in class the first year should be a breeze.

the local UA here was nice enough to provide an apprentice tool list for tools to get, was right in the apprenticeship standard

You will get in brother. Good luck to you man.

Its all about whos teaching you. Some guys will expect you to know everything, get frustrated,make a big deal, maybe even criticize you, then you will meet people who can teach you in a relaxed way and you will pick it up like it is nothing.

Enjoy the videos! Trying to become a Pipefitter myself. I had an interview in July but haven’t heard anything since then. Wondering how long it took you to get the call for a job after your interview?

I have no experience whatsoever for pipefitting but I did great on my Math assessment and the interviewers really loved my answers. I’ve been watching your videos so I can know what to expect and I’ve been taking in all your info on these videos man. 💯
