Welcome to Schofield welding I am Jake Schofield. We are a traveling Welding Family. We chase all kinds of welding work through the United States. Mostly oil and gas work. Which includes Pipelines,Facilities and Fabrication. I travel With my Wife Eliza Schofield our son Baylin Theo Schofield and our two dogs Ace and Itty. Sit back while we bring you along into our world of living full time in our 38 foot fifth wheel traveling from welding job to welding job. Building Welding Beds bbq pits and anything else we can think of out of metal, and of course making money. Be Blessed
Man I can’t wait to get out of welding school and get a truck put together. I can honestly say I’ve got a real passion for the trade and can’t wait to get on the road and make money and meet good people.
Jarrod Ard same pair of boots here
@@rogerthat9742 Heck yeah build a rig and make some bank! Im half way done with my classes and doing great!
Yep I been welding for over 36 years and still learning new things about pipeline welding them old timers out there knows a lot keep it going y'all.
Thank you for the inspiration. It's a blessing to see men doing good at a trade and trying to give back and remembering God in conversation. Thank you for sharing all the information... God Bless you all!
You 3 are arguably the best motivational speakers on the web because you speak from experience and the desire to reach your goal. RIGHT ON and may you all have many Blessed Days ahead for yourselves and you families. Jacob, I constantly use your favorite sign-off comment and get nothing by smiles from other folks who are so use to the "canned", have a good day. When I say "have a blessed day", they all perk up and say "you, too". Ain't God great?
Shortstack that means the world to us. Thank you. I tell yeah nobody is greater then our God he helps us in everything we do.
@@JacobSchofield Amen, Jacob, Amen.
Amen I just passed my bellhole and branch this past Tuesday and all I can say is yes it takes a lot of practice
So true Jacob! Got to put in the time practice practice practice. The endless day of working and after work back to practicing. I've been welding for 22 years tig,flux,mig and stick. All fab shop experience, started as a helper did that for 2 and half years. Made welder position, made fitter be came a lead man 7 years later and eventually shop forman. I did alot structural with stick. Recently just bought a 62 blue dial. One day when things get better I want to get into pipeline. Down hill, definitely kickn my back side!! That motivation keeps me on my toes! I enjoy all your videos, keep it up and stay blessed!🙏🏽🙏🏽
John sounds like you did it right. starting as a helper then moving up. those red blue dials are amazing machines
Been welding for 15 years and still strive to be better every weld... Cuz if u don't there is always someone wanting a job...
Could you share more with all us on your life journey as a welder? Thank you 👍
💯 Look at those young fellas making it, love it! Great advise!!
In spending 7 months in school to learn the trade. So glad I can skip out on helper postion.
Taking them welding sessions seriously
Love this video because it shows family, pushing each others. I can only imagine you brothers growing up being competitive. And that is a good trait to have later on in life. Love the one brother who said he paid off his truck in 3 months because he did not want his friend to be stuck in a hole if the brother lost his job. Shows you boys had great parents raising you. And last but not least is you guys giving glory to God for the positions he put you in. Welding is just like any sport you played growing up, it takes muscle memory to become good at it. God bless you during this corona virus going on in our country. God bless you all!
Great advice ,You three have exellent attitudes.
Your dead right Jacob I’m a boilermaker/welder with 20yrs experience here in Australia and decided to invest time and money into myself to become coded as “skills pay the bills” took me 8 months of night school and over $4k of my own money but I got it done and am proud as heck of myself to get there. Love your quality content mate 👍🏻
John bennett ...where are you working in Australia now mate?...cheers, Matt👨🏭
Thanks John you boiler makers are some tough dudes.

John bennett ..cool. I’m in Melbourne’s east, but get out your way a bit. Always happy to hear people pushing on to get welding qual’s mate. I spent years in night school doing my tickets, but it does pay off. Now I’m in the Gas Industry👨🏭👍🇦🇺
All you fellas have a great attitude and the right work ethic. You will get where you want to be. I've noticed in the last few years that way to many younger guys are looking for instant success, and when it doesn't come, they're gone.
i’m just an ol fool from etx. i never comment on video but i watch a lot of your. hoping to get a helpin spot on in january after this semester of school. college ain’t workin out for me. but i just wanted to say i completely agree with the truck ordeal. i paid off my truck in a few months with no money down. i had a lucky opportunity from a great friend on a dually. made shit pay but i saved every dime. you pay your shit off asap. you get you a truck you can sleep in if you have to. you make sure you don’t owe anyone anything. you have to take not only respect for the person your owe but respect for yourself not to be THAT guy that owes everyone money. it’s mature to take care of your own shit. and NO DAYS OFF. gotta get that bread. if you ain’t working sat-sun you might as well not work mon-fri
man I do enjoy the 7 days on stuff. your a 100% right about taking care of that truck loan as quickly as possible. nothing like not owing anybody anything.
Thank you for this video man ... I really needed to hear this today . Lifted my spirits up a lot 💪🏽 🔥
Is it the most terrible thing for me to pack up my beautiful little family and go after what others are too afraid to go for? I see you have a family and your opinion means something to us. Truly
Man I cannot make that desicion for you. For me it was... I got started when Me and Eliza where still dating. You are the decision on that one
Lol! Yeah I know i gotta make the decisions man. Im more in dream land than reality right now. Lol. I just wanna escape this poverty stricken town and looking for every reason. Thanks for actually responding bro. Ur the only person in the welding scene that actually will respond.
Yes sir..! You have to make the Sacrifices to reach your goals 👍
Red Fern Grows!!!!
Very well said you guys I could not agree more, one thing I would stay that I have heard Jake say before is to stay humble there is always someone better then yourself
So so true. Thanks Jake
You do what you got to do to get the job done be safe brother and keep on welding
Love watching the way you teach - you're a good mentor. Gonna be a good dad I can tell. You are blessed.
I’m graduating in a month Can’t wait to get to work I know it will prolly be hard work but I love working with my hands and welding
The welding life is awsome i want a pipe welding job lol
Come get it brother!!!
This is awesome content! God bless you all
Thank you for this video. I got my certificate in welding but no certs. It's a good notch on my belt but I am going back to get my degree. I can't wait for it. I struggled with true depression for years but I want this. I want to be the best welder I can be. Thank you for your videos and continuted motivation.
Wesley117ssdd I went to a community college with the intention of obtaining a degree in welding/metal fab. I dropped out 9 months in. Smartest move I could have made. I was there long enough to get practice and a ton of AWS certs. In the field degrees don’t matter! Any company worth there salt is gunna make you test out (regardless of prior degrees and certs). Do what’s best for you man jus some advice those extra 2years you’d be in a classroom are way better spent gaining experience!
You acknowledge God alot. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and the way you view everything in life. I keep getting criticized for telling people about becoming a rig welder. My relatives are the worst ones.
I’m getting the same just keep pushing, they will have nothing to say when you show up with a 100000$ rig paid off.
Great video Jake, good clear message.
My grandmother told me at a young age that whatever you do, give it your best. So practice, practice, practice. Strive toward perfection, you will never get there but you'll always see it at the horizon.
Nice looking out for your buddy 😊
I'll be getting new students in August and will differently will be showing these to the new kids. Thanks for the great advise
hell yeah...couldnt have said it better myself..
Amen Jacob currently working
twins? how do I get my hands on some pipe to practice with. how do you all get em?
awesome to hear you talking about God Jacob! great to know some godly men are welders
Super great advice buddy 👍🇺🇸
Awesome video
im 20, in welding school. Im going to north dakota in about 3 weeks. I already have a truck paid off, I already have my machine paid off, And I built a bed for my truck. And im going to get my first helper job...
Whats your email bud? Got a few questions I wanna ask
Javier Alonzo Do you have Instagram?
105Percent_American yes sir, whats yours?
@@javieralonzo9790 @105Percent_American
Man your killing brother you are well more prepared then I was. You will do great things
i agree with jed, i would much rather be out in the cold working/practicing than the heat any day
For sure! You can always put more clothes on and work to stay warm, but you can't take off all your clothes to cool down and weld.
Welding in the weather is tuff!!!
Great video man this was as always very helpful and informative you guys always talk real life stuff #thankyou
I'm not gonna lie I'm a little nervous, welding school soon, but I'm more excited though. Gonna be interesting
Your going to kill it. Stay focused weld to get. Enter every single day. You will do fine
I’m just waiting on my turn I willing to put my time in as well
Great video!! How about one on intricate layout how to find angles and knowing what take offs you need to know off the top of your head. I had a great journeyman teach me a lot of slick quick ways to be able to drop a penny in both gaps of your tie in piece the first time you drop it in. keep up the inspiration your making me wanna drag up & go work out there
Thanks
How can you find welder helper job and if you know how to pipe fit
Not giving up...so many people wanna weld and not put in the time they just get frustrated and give up
I welded scrap pieces on my breaks at the power houses and refinery jobs still got a lot of learning till I get perfect beads
Exactly I see new students weld for only 40 mins and Slack off for Longer time They not hungry to get better
Hey buddy just wanted to let you know it's kinda of hard to hear them talking. Something you told me 2 years ago you can never practice to much
🙏🏼🎄🍗 Money Mondays
Could you do a video showing how to do a 3 piece 90 miter using the blue book?
You gotta burn it to earn it.
@Jacob Schofield... I live in Alberta CA. And have been helping for about a yr now. Aswell as just completed the 1st portion of my apprenticeship schooling. Would you recommend that helpers buy a rig and start setting up early before they become a full on welder i have my structural certs already and have welded little pipe. Just wondering if i should invest into thia stuff on a helpers wage or not?
Hey great video buddy I'm getting ready to head out to texas and get after a helper position. I had a question tho I see you guys practicing in the rv parks before do alot of rv parks allow you to weld on the property and if not where do you practice on the road?
Our RV park is awesome I built an entire welding bed in it but it is really rear!!! If you can’t practice there then sometimes you can stay late T the job
@@JacobSchofield Gotcha, that is super cool of them. Hopefully I can land a cool rv park like that if not I'll figure it out. Got to get that practice in wherever you can I guess lol. Keep up the great work brother! 👌🏼
@@christianpringle486 How's it going man? You get on as a helper?
How long is your lead & your ground going back to your spools?
125’ on each
Right on thanks.
Jacob did you work at saber in Seminole, Oklahoma with your dad? You look like a guy that I worked with several years ago
His dad does wood floors so I doubt that's him
Pipe welders are very good, but there are many welders, doing other types of welding, who are just as good, perhaps better. They often have a lot more versatility. Pipe welders get paid a lot, but are very limited in what they do. My friend calls them "One trick ponies". Most welding is tough demanding work, no matter what the job is.

Tell your scabs there’s a lot of different pipe out there too.... pipes that carry things like Gas,oil,diesel,rocket fuel,corrosive matter, high pressure steam and just about everything you consume as a liquid runs threw a pipe and the plant. oh did I mention that almost every water district in the us has pipe that leaks and can’t shut the water off ask your boys how you weld that. petroleum pipelines and natural gas are often welded on live at operating pressure. So ah don’t dog pipe welders. I respect every welding process and there welding. just remember when you qualify on a 6g pipe it covers plate too when you qualify on plate it also covers ah only plate Great rant though
what part of Colorado you in? I'm from Ault but live in Texas now
i miss it bad up there
So our shop is in Ault. We are over by Brighton
Being a welder requires u to be a MAN not a boy, only men can lay under something that could take there life in an instant an have fire raining down on there face!!! :) man i love being a welder!! 👍👍👍
Is this a welding video or everybody's personal finances!
Paul H. Isn’t it one and the same?
Jacob Schofield don’t worry about that comment, love these kind of videos they are very helpful! Appreciate man
33 to old to get into welding?
Do you feel to old? I would say no.
I'm 38 and going for it! No more excuses anymore! We can do it!!! I've seen 60 year Olds still making a hand it's all in your mind what you do.
Ive had a 65 year old supervisor in a natural gas power plant still laying tig beads as slick as a 25 year old
Be a pro... Always buy the best quality things you can afford. Never save a buck buying lesser quality.
