I've worked on roofs replacing shingles, so I understand why they aren't wearing them. But even I would wear one 2,3 stories high lol; a broken rib from a harness fucking up my footing would be better than splatting.
As someone who has been in the trade i have almost fell more times when i was tied off from the tie off equipment getting hung up and making me almost lose my balance. I agree with tying off but do not agree with 100 percent tying off. As it becomes more of a hassle than good.
No safety choker or safety cables (yet)!!! Just like it used to be!!!! Good video.... should have whipped a bolt at the crane!!! He’d put down his phone then....Operators need to be just as focused and alert as the connectors if not moreso...
was outta work and landed a job tying rebar. after 3 hours i was going to quit when the gf asked if i could do bolt up. anything but tie rebar. by lunch some wiry dude asked me if i was afraid of heights. for the next 10 years i was a redline connector. live hard, coon steal.
i wish i didnt get hurt on the job i miss this so bad i hope i can come back one day i miss you local 433 i wish i could find a good foreman that would work with me
You Men have Balls of Steel you could never get me up there on those Beams you have my highest respect I will stick to driveing truck and Hauling in to the Iron Workers
I see you haven’t uploaded In quite a while so it’s definitely a long shot but if you happen to see this I am trying to get into the field and do work like you do in the videos I have been welding for about a year but don’t have any construction experience so are there any pointers you could give to a young guy like me on getting out there
Don’t listen to the trolls that don’t know what they’re talking about. I’ve been a union Ironworker for 7 years. Which is what these guys are. Ironworkers. Welding is a HUGE part of ironwork. Just not during connecting typically. It does happen occasionally while connecting but not very often at all. If you want to learn this trade look up your local Ironworkers union hall and go apply to the apprenticeship program. If they have any openings and you’re willing to test your ability and gumption go for it. It’s hard work. Very demanding. But also very rewarding. Especially because it’s not a job that anyone can come do.
why don’t y’all use impacts while you’re up there to tighten the nuts onto the bolts? Seems like that would be faster but I also have zero idea what I’m talking about
They have to make sure its plumb become commiting to the bolt. They are just connecting. The plumb guys will come in after with their equipment and make sure its level before tightening it all down.
I've no idea what I'm talking about either but why don't they have ratcheting wrenches? It's not like they are tourqing them down to spec yet anyway. Seems like it'll be easier and quicker.
Connectors make the beam connections they usually aren’t the ones to bolt every hole and if they are they usually do it later. They put 1-2 bolts each side and move on.
The bolting up gang comes later and stuffs all the holes and torques them to spec. These guys are just connecting, there job is to hang as much iron as fast as they can.
I was a connector out of 401 me And my partner would have connected 2xs the iron w/ out teeing! He can't single for shit "boom up hold load swing left " and you should have spotted the boom for operator then you have to single until final connect and cutting lose! Back TO THE HALL
if they let me move like this i would never live that job slow job are great to learn on I don't think these guys are as bad as everyone wants to stay on here everyone just has a different way of doing things even though I know that's not how I was taught when I was going through the apprenticeship but you do you bro
Yeah cuz no other connector in the world would.. high end the other side.. stuff a spud in the high hole on the connection side.. and then go and make the other side?? I don't know I only did it for 25 years up and down the East coast.. and you learn something new everyday.. these guys doing awesome job they are very very good at what they do..🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Ironworker my ass why can't you stand up not to mention wrong hand signals why boom down when you're supposed to Cable down and suck it up by hold the load boom up make it hard on yourself
The guy recording this says every other pic he's on his cell phone...😳😳😳😳.. the guy recording this is showing a tag sign boom up of the load...never mind I'm just going to leave it alone !!!!I only connected for 25 years.. nice work stay safe let's all work together 🥱🥱🥱🥱
15 minute time stamp..🥱🥱🥱🥱.. you girls are so cute 👍👎👏☝️👆👇👉👈😂😂😂..how many Ironworkers.. connecting bars... and Spud wrenches ....does it take to make a knife connection???🤑🤑🤑🤑.. stay safe my brothers!! 80' columns with no grout?? If these kids don't know ..I'm not going to try to explain it..
Need to be way more faster...and put some fuckin bolts in your bolt bag would ya...start putting some bolts in the holes while you're waitin on the next piece geez...unreal lol
Timestamp 17 minutes.. we're going to need like two more connecting bars.. a 3/4 ton come along.. a beam shrinker and a beam stretcher.. just give me a minute cuz I got to download my GoPro video that shows how totally inadequate of a connector I am 🧐🧐🧐🧐.. 1200 lb beams on tube columns.. whiskey tango foxtrot.is this guy going to do when he gets a 20 ton. Header..🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👍👎👈👉👇👆🥱🥱🥱🥱😢🤑🤑🤑🤑
One sad part of life is some people think Thay are the best at what Thay do?!?! This right here proves that mentally.i can put this on at bedtime to put me to sleep.and rest knowing.ill wake up tomorrow and have something too laugh at.i love the bolt part you only carry 4 bolts then ask your partner for a bolt .if I was his partner I would not want to be on camera.prowd injuns down sad but true this shit happens every day.
Having this video recommended reminds me of how old CZcams was, no flashy thumbnails, just people doing cool shit.
2017 is still the "viral" youtube. we know similar today. For OG youtube you wanna go back to before 2012
This wasnt even that long ago lmaoo
I like how they are wearing safety harnesses but aren't even using them.
I've worked on roofs replacing shingles, so I understand why they aren't wearing them. But even I would wear one 2,3 stories high lol; a broken rib from a harness fucking up my footing would be better than splatting.
@@VileStorms I've also work with harnesses, they shit wouldn't fly in Australia. But who cares, you guys just keep doing you *finger guns*
they're more of a hindrance than a help
@@marshallapplewhite7339 they’re an insurance policy, a pain in the ass when everything is going okay, but not bad when things go wrong
As someone who has been in the trade i have almost fell more times when i was tied off from the tie off equipment getting hung up and making me almost lose my balance. I agree with tying off but do not agree with 100 percent tying off. As it becomes more of a hassle than good.
As a roofer, I have mad respect for these dudes, truly inspiring, I'm 35 but am considering changing my occupational.
im a turbine mechanic, thank god i almost never dangle on shit that sketchy. hell we're not even allowed to daisy chain lifts like that
No safety choker or safety cables (yet)!!! Just like it used to be!!!! Good video.... should have whipped a bolt at the crane!!! He’d put down his phone then....Operators need to be just as focused and alert as the connectors if not moreso...
You guys are nuts lol awesome footage
7:51 OSHA felt a disturbance in the force...
OSHA feeling a disturbance the whole video. No use of fall arrest here
Hahaha.
I remember when we were still allowed to hang load under load. How does OSHA specify rescue from a height like that?
was outta work and landed a job tying rebar. after 3 hours i was going to quit when the gf asked if i could do bolt up. anything but tie rebar. by lunch some wiry dude asked me if i was afraid of heights. for the next 10 years i was a redline connector. live hard, coon steal.
That bag you have your water in should be hanging on the hook full of bolts since you only carry 10 at a time?
Best job in the world, as long as your partner and you jive.
15:41 "Don't F**king scratch it!"
15:49 *Proceeds to beat the devil out of it*
The thing that scares me most are the tandem loads that are overhead.
The rigging that’s holding all the steel has a 5x safety factor on the weight
респект мужики из россии!!!) вы красавчики! работаем!
Low key looks fun as hell
Job is I do this for a living I’m only 25 with 6 years experience never changing careers love it!
i wish i didnt get hurt on the job i miss this so bad i hope i can come back one day i miss you local 433 i wish i could find a good foreman that would work with me
What happened?
You Men have Balls of Steel you could never get me up there on those Beams you have my highest respect I will stick to driveing truck and Hauling in to the Iron Workers
As a person with a fear of highs I agree
dude I would fumble catching those bolts like you wouldn't believe. Good catch.
Thanks for these videos man. I'm trying to get in local 7
that RG boss is gettin that double barrel payroll blaster loaded...... hes goin lumb huntin soon
i can imagine that working on a place like this means that you can not act like a child here, especially for the safety of them
Great video.
I crave the strength and certainty of steel

He probably fell from not being 100% tied off

@@eftru1089 I'm Ironworker and never tie off unless required. so grow a set
@@repomanzillaBig tough man with big cock….
@@repomanzilla anything above how high is it that iron workers gotta tie off ?
thats 051 baby!!! Listuguj!
Awesome
did hess send you out?
7:47
I wonder how much those bolts cost?
Bout 2.50-2.80$
They have gone up
Why don't you use wireless to communicate instead of hand movements? I wonder.
What's that guy spitting up osyters.
i like to see the step after my job ty
No safety gear is stupid af
Awesome. I thought the end of last video was funny when you left an asshole in that choker, but when I saw that pick I totally lost it.
17 minutes and 30 seconds you finally makes a top bolt....🥱🥱🥱🤑🤑🤑
why don’t y’all use impacts while you’re up there to tighten the nuts onto the bolts? Seems like that would be faster but I also have zero idea what I’m talking about
They have to make sure its plumb become commiting to the bolt. They are just connecting. The plumb guys will come in after with their equipment and make sure its level before tightening it all down.
You mean a rattle gun?

Of their even Union! No Union connector says "cable down"
CHAD POOG
Iron workers are #1
Slowest hanging I’ve seen. What is that 4 pieces an hour?
We used to hang 100 pieces in an 8 hr day!
Where’s your signal man, no way the connector is signaling the crane that far. That’s how accidents could happen……
Lookin good fellas. plenty of ways to get a job done. Don't mind all the keyboard warriors in the comment section talking shit.
i bet you wont get paid as much as you guys deserve
if they let me move like this i would never live that job slow job are great to learn on I don't think these guys are as bad as everyone wants to stay on here everyone just has a different way of doing things even though I know that's not how I was taught when I was going through the apprenticeship but you do you bro
Тяжёлая Работа
Mjmmm
Ajaaaa
Im the 42.000 view
Don't drop your wrench
No bolt ready and laid out? Would have been down the road if this was a Herrick job.
I am a retired Construction Safety Engineer. Yep OSHA violations out the Azz! Whatever company this is they should stop these posts.
I bet these guys hated you haha. Do they usually rap a lanyard and fall arrest to the wide flanges as they connect them?
They perfectly fine under sub part r. You should know that mister OSHA
Bro ya ain’t even tied off, at least you shimmy on ur butt!
Yeah cuz no other connector in the world would.. high end the other side.. stuff a spud in the high hole on the connection side.. and then go and make the other side?? I don't know I only did it for 25 years up and down the East coast.. and you learn something new everyday.. these guys doing awesome job they are very very good at what they do..🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
low daily piece count.
😂
Ironworker my ass why can't you stand up not to mention wrong hand signals why boom down when you're supposed to Cable down and suck it up by hold the load boom up make it hard on yourself
Nice Christmas tree but the riggers suck
Good job sucking that outstanding still to the existing standing still
Always tie off your buckets😢
I've seen enough ironworker my ass😂 mom
Slow 3 pieces in 15min
If you need to be tied off, you shouldn’t be connecting.
Why tf have a harness on if u not gonna tie off 🤣🤣🤣
I bet they ride the ball up and down.
Not that high up yet. Girl
The guy recording this says every other pic he's on his cell phone...😳😳😳😳.. the guy recording this is showing a tag sign boom up of the load...never mind I'm just going to leave it alone !!!!I only connected for 25 years.. nice work stay safe let's all work together 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Rat’s!
Great vid brother, I recommend not wearing gloves the same color as your shift when crane signaling tho , keep up the good work 🤟🏽
He slow you should be able to get it the first time!!!
