I was once a welder helper. There are those welders , who are grumpy , or as-wholes. The welder that I had to work with was one of them. The moment he started yelling at me or calling me names , I had to stop him real quick and let him know what’s up because there was going to be problems. Everything turned out good and became good friends .
They just testing you and seeing if you strong
I'm not even in this industry and I love the education thanks ross
A good work ethic (go getter) makes up for a lot of in experience . If you are always on your cell phone stay home . If you aren't asking questions you are not learning . Always be thinking what next . You are also constantly looking out for yours and the welders safety .when a welders helmet is down his view is limited to a 2x4 outlook . hahahaha if a welders grumpy it's because of eye strain -----2x4 out look . hahaha always keep reminding your welder to blink -----eye strain ---hahaha keep up the good work Austin
Good advice..for welder helper and in life in general
Dam bro!! You again! Your content is rediculous there for all your pipeline needs I appreciate it man not workin pipelinen rn but missin it, I was a helper
Just started as a helper on a oil field new construction crew love the 4/10 schedule.
Man, I watched a few of your videos and I like your attitude. I have a few buddies that are pipeline welders and they always complain about their helpers. I use your same methods for greenhorns in my shops for both organic and contractors. I run two avionics shops for the Navy but work ethics are the same. Notes and questions are my main requirements. Ya we all show up late here and there but I would rather that than someone on time every day that doesn't know what they are doing. Great vids man. Subd for sure.
Man I sure do wish I could have had a nice chill welder like you , this job is my first go round and I’ve been with two welders and they were some dicks for no reason, but luckily other welders seen how good I am and offered me to help them on the next job
Great stuff man keep up. Always watch best to you and yours from Odessa tx
Hey Austin big thank you brother to a welder that's up and coming trying to figure out what angle I can approach this from and I believe with no experience if all I wanna do is weld get my experience then branch off to become an independent welder who markets himself the best way to do this would be through Pipefitting. Now I would love to be in a fabrication shop but it seems that they all require some previous experience.
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS 💯
Man your videos are helping me so much I see them all the time👨🏭keep the good work!!
Great advice and applicable to any job in life .......

I’ve been thinking to be a welder and your videos are encouraging me to become one, I know nothing at all about welding but it seems like a great career to be in thank you for your videos
former welder don't do it , if you want to have some fun make it a hobby and don't do it full time. so much labor and risk to your body
Love your videos dude 👊🏻
Ross your the man!
Spot on explanation
this was really helpful
Thanks Austin
Good info 👊🏽
I’m going to be looking for a helper job right after graduation! I’m excited
Same here bud!! Graduation is around the corner!
just graduated and starting my first welding assistant tomorrow . Working up to being a welder in the field later on
@@isaacolivares866 did you need any experience or certificates
How is it going a year after
Thanks for sharing and giving advice.
I’m about to graduate with a bachelors degree and man after looking into welding I’m nadie ring dropping out to become a welder.
first day of helping coming up this week for the Coastal Gas Link project up in northern BC in Canada.... here we go lol
I broke out in the plants as a helper then went to pipeline as a welder helper now I'm a X-Ray tech watching your videos has helpped me with my job keep up the work maybe see you on the line
You went to school for X-ray tech?
Finally, that 3 semesters of industrial equipment maintenance might pay off. Applying for 798 soon bc my girls friend said they really need helpers
Did you end up getting on as a helper? How is it?
I just started practicing welding at home at a young age at 12 years old.
Safety first. Protect your EYES, wear safety glasses. Protect your EARS, wear hearing protection. Protect your HANDS, wear appropriate gloves. Protect your Feet, wear safety toes boots/shoes. Protect your SKIN, long sleeve shirt and pants. Protect your HAIR, wear a cap. So you do not wind up like me and others who grew up in a culture were safety was not taught. My hearing has suffered,but now I'm careful to wear safety gear. Almost forgot protect your lungs work in a well vented area or use a respirator.
Man, if I had this type of heads-up before starting a welding job a few years ago, I would’ve stuck with it. But the company was small, the guys already had their perfect way of doin shit and every little thing I did just made ALL of them mad. I haven’t welded since cus I thoroughly gave up on the subject altogether.
😢 wow thanks for this
My dads military circle when I was a kid they always told me “if your gonna F--& up, you might as well F+=/ up impressively”. Now my parents years ago I always heard them complaining about parents don’t teach the kids how to fail anymore. It took me years to figure that out. Because as a kid im thinking why do you wanna fail. But it’s because you will fail no doubt so you need to be taught how to quickly recover and it be a non issue.
Usually I would carry an inventory sheet and check everything before and after work.
I'm really just beginning at the young age of 55 with my Lincoln flux core welder,man I still can't run a stack of dimes bead but sticks and holds
You make it sound so nice but when you in the field it's a whole different thing
What all equipment does someone wanting to be a helper need like a truck and rv more or less what exactly does a helper need
A little nervous have an interview tomorrow as a pipeline
I want to get into this and learn the trade but how is everyone like the welders etc cause I have no experience how is everyone in helping etc just wondering cause showing up early and everyday
What is this skills test? Is on computer ?? Getting hired as pipefitter helper so nervous. Always been labor person
If I go to welding school, will it help me get a job in the pipeline field?
I’m fixing to get my books any tips? I’m nervous
Holy crap, you pretty much have to buy in a job possibility to sign up w/ the 798. And it says not guaranteed a job
How can i get into this field? Im looking for a position in Houston area.
Hi
Is there people that become helpers after going to school for welding?
I have a question for you. So I'm goin to be attending TSTC Waco for Pipe welding and I needed to know some stuff I have been hearing. I hear that a lot of companies wont pay you overtime because they treat your employment as just "contracting" so they dont have to pay you time and a half. And also, I want to weld my butt off so I may have land and a cattle ranch someday. If you put in a lot of work, will welding provide enough money for me to put away towards land and starting my dreams? I know God has a plan for me and He wont keep me from my goals, but I just need to know what I am lookin at so I can find the best way to make my ranch happen
Yeah man that is true a lot of them won’t pay overtime but just pick up every job and save up your money it will take a while for you to get what you want
Hi Austin, I’m from California but want to move out of state more then likely To texas to work pipeline, but I have no idea how to get started or where to look for work out there, any advise would help. Thank you.
Not sure if you have received a response but you can look up I believe a gov website that shows jobs for that, i dont really remember I saw it on reddit but look up welder helper reddit and you should find some good valuable things
Hey watching your video what was your salary out of trade school or high school good video
25k a year. For 3 years. Workin in a steel supply shop. Ran a mig gun building custom things in the back.
Where it the footage of “on the job site “ ??
Tomorrow is my first day as a helper
How it go?
Everyone reacts different just understand the welder
My friend is currently becoming a pipeline welder and he wants me to be his assistant. I have some experience welding and a lot of experience with grinding but I'm wondering if I'll have to go help other welders and stuff even though we are non-union
@@KateOnYT2023 how’s it been being a helper?
Do you carry a portable rod oven with you?
Ruben Rios
No I don’t. At least, not usually. If we are welding with low high then we would have to carry one. But we don’t weld with low high very much, at least on new construction.
Hey Austin I’m 19 and I wanted to hit the field so how can I join the union? I wanna be a welder helper for a couple years for experience
Eduardo Garza
The first thing to do is go on the 798 website and fill out an application. Then you might call the business agents every once in a while to visit with them. It’s hard to get in and they don’t need anyone right at the moment but don’t let that stop you from socializing and introducing yourself to people.
Austin this question is not for me, my career is over 40 yrs pipe welder LU 486, does the Pipeliners have a apprenticeship program thx
So to be a pipeline welder without any pipeline welding experience would you suggest being a welder helper first?
Absolutely. It’s a very good place to start.
How you feel or any advice about woman being a welder helper?
I think it’s a great thing for them to do.
I need talk with you !
美国长输管道焊接用fcaw s吗？
Yes
What is your advice for people who have depression and anxiety in the welding world
The mind is a powerful thing. To me, the mind should be top priority as far as self care. I would say focus on what fulfills you personally. Work on what you absolutely love and enjoy doing. Focus on today. Try not to get flooded with tomorrow’s issues. I’m prob not the best person to ask but I wanted to reply. I hope this helps.
Austin gave some good advice and I'd like to offer a couple of things that might help. I've found after 30+ years of welding, you better like who your in that hood with because thats where you're going to spend most of your time and what I mean by that is, you have a lot of time to think so try to keep it positive and focus on getting better every day. The other thing is that sure you're going to come across tasks or events that just seem like a huge mountain with no way around but don't focus on that. Take that overwhelming feeling you have and break it down into manageable pieces. I'll give you an example and then I'll be quiet. A few years back I had double knee replacement and in less than a year I took a job welding frac trailers. Loved the job, sometimes picky but that only made me a better welder, but it was 12 hour days and 8 on Saturday. At that time, 12 hours of standing and welding was huge. To manage that in my mind I had to break the day into sections. Starting at 6, I just focused on getting to first break (9), then just focused on getting to lunch. After lunch, the 2pm break was my next goal, then 4pm, then cleanup and go home at 630. The mind is powerful like Austin said, just try to give it things to think about in portions it can handle. Just like eating an elephant, nobody can eat it whole but you can eat it one bite at a time.
Where do you buy your grinders
Aidan Hoffman
Usually Lowe’s.
I tried to be a nice welder but I always end up with a lazy helper then I have to be an asshole
I’ll help. I’m a hard worker. I be on time. I learn fast
👷♂️🙋♂️
His smirk tells me they’re in for a reality check
Got any numbers? Haha. Florida ain't worth a dam. Preferably a contract job
Can you help me with my car payment?
Yea get a job at McDonald’s
@@westtexasoutlaw6197 danger noodle 🐍
Did you rip the dollar bills? I have some tape, that could fix your car payment
For beging a welder helper it is not worth it!! Hell no I’m not sweating my self to death to be someone’s bitch! You have a lot of responsibilities for 15 an hour😂😂 not worth it mine as well work at Walmart
