People watch this video and think this is easy I'm a 40 year welding veteran retired I know exactly how hard it is. Welding on prototype oil Derricks, silicone reactors and even got my feet wet in nuclear pressure vessels. The welders of this nation built this country literally. It's good to see there's some things you just can't teach a robot. This type of work is no different than any other you have to love it to do it well and find joy in a job well done. It was definitely a love-hate relationship more hate Than Love LOL but your video reminded me of how much I don't miss the struggles but would do it again for the fellowship of my coworkers and their stories of Triumph over the Quest for Fire.

Wally I am closing in on 40 years of welding I spent my time welding pipe not my favorite line of work but it was a great learning experience the one thing that was taught to me way back when was that to make a good weld you needed to be comfortable and as you know you cannot always be in a comfortable position sometimes your surroundings make it impossible keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more

That was a really good video. I just finished welding a few 36 inch split tees on live lines for the first time. Stay safe brother...

That’s why you are the weld professor.honesty the best policy

Guys like you are good for welding. As a CWI; I appreciate you putting this out there with such class and humility. So true about that slag coming off and getting you. Hearing/feeling 7018 slag burn thru ear wax is such a fun time. Haha

Thanks for a glimpse into what you have to do.

I love how you explain posture and how it can work for you! People will never know how many tips you give that can help them! Keep going professor! Its not all about wire feed or static projects.

No one is the best brother, those welds were solid. Nobodys a robot.

I'm with you on this one. For as much as one would like to stack a perfect bead next to the other every time, seems like FATIGUE is the number one culprit working against us,, Luckily we got (Pride) on our side that keeps Quality Control in chek, Good Job Man,, Regards!

I've never seen a split join before.. wow that looks fun gotta love stick welding..❤️💪

Nice job, enjoyed the video. Keep making more, I've been welding 43 years now and always enjoy seeing you young guys just kicking ass and putting down nice welds.

Nice welds I do aluminum pipe welding with using mig I'm always burning tips so every few minutes I gotta either clean them or change them that's the only pain about that other then that it's very rewarding

Got a split tee to weld monday on a steam line. This is some good work right here.

I love 7018.. Great vid.. definitely the 1st time ive ever seen a split Tee..

You make it look easy. I admire your modesty. Your definitely an inspiration to keep striving to be the best you can be at welding

It's hard work with a lot of skill involved but just like in many other professions some welders are underpaid while others are very well paid. It all depends on which part of the country you live in, there are different demands and costs of living that dictate the pay.

My Dad used to be a boiler maker and I started welding in my teens. However I have learned a lot from just 2 videos?!?

“Man I need to tighten up” I tell myself this all the time lol. Great video keep them coming..

Man looks dam good to me and you hear very many welders talk like that I like your honesty most of them are best there is and never made a mistake. You rock man

I do like the new style of voiceover video that you have going on. Take in the days work and reflect upon what you are doing and how to execute! Awesome stuff and thanks for the SoCo reccomendation, you and Stacking Iron are definitely up there in my list. 🇺🇸👊🏼

I love watching these videos. I have a lot to learn but I'm practicing hard with my everlast welder.

We do them on live natural gas lines all the time. That weld looked slick

That's good smooth welding right there buddy. Awesome job! 👍

That was awesome. Hope to see more video like this. Great job bub keep up the good work and keep'em coming

Great,BEAUTIFUL, good work!

awesome videos, your honest with yourself as a welder and that's what I appreciate about your videos.

Good tutorial professor . Thanks

Looks like quality work. Thanks for sharing these videos. It’s a lot different in the field than it is in the shop. Stay safe.

You're awesome for making these videos man. Much respect.

Very nice job of pushing your puddle, most welders don’t understand that that helps control arc blow. Great job!!!

Great video love all your info.

Keep burning brotha 💪🔥🔥 100%

Great content keep up the good work

As a old retired guy that welded for a few years as a pipe fitter back in the late 1960’s. Most of my experience was with steam piping. We used a lot of E6011 low pressure. I did a lot of tank farm work getting them ready for new kind of gas. These were Shell farms and pumping stations. All I knew was that it was called Shell of the Future on the drawings. Most were in evacuated lines. We had to weld uphill on everything a lot of flanges as many valves had to be upgraded. Then vapor recovery came right after the “gas of the future”. Funny all the pipe line guys welded down hill we couldn’t hire them. I’m looking at a scar on my ankle from a hunk of that ugly 7018 slag that somehow went down my boot (no spats) 70 years old and that still gives me the chills today as I think about. Didn’t hurt long but it did hurt like heck for a bit. I was a kid and the Forman my helper were laughing like hell as I started jumping around. Just had to pull that hunk of slag out it was deep because my boot pushed it into my inside left ankle 50 years later still have that scar. Anyway great video. Never used a split tee very nice item. Start cutting a tee in on a hot day those lines would get hot in the sun and grow so much the tee wouldn’t fit your cut out. Hose the line down with a fire hose so you could fit it up. Sorry so long I’m old.

That looks like a fun weld, little bit of everything, horizontal, up, down, around. Good welds sir

Nice tidy work I teach myself good clear pictures

Awesome video.I know what split tee is now thanks for making that video .👍👍

Cool video

Bad looking welding is a bad weld.you did a great job,the supporters attests to yer commitment to quality.well done.most welders don't care about whether a flange stays square down the road.they're welding it up and move on.

I work for Team industrial. I’ve been on a couple of those hot tapping jobs. Fun as hell but dangerous!!

Those welds are pretty damn good that's pretty much what I'm running on my pipes been doing it a minute

impeccable friend !! 👌 great your work 👊 greetings from Chile 🔥 ✌

Thanks for mentioning what rods you are using each time it is really important and helpful.

Great work, very rewarding experience,

Good video

Very nice work..... Have supervised that kind of activitie many times in live lines only difference is that on the circunferential joint you do not want to go uphill cause It induces too mutch localized heat youd rather train your welder to do It downhill

Nice job brother. Keep it up!

Awesome video sir!
