    I think it's late afternoon after a hard 12 hours, and Jake's just trying to unwind a bit if you know what I mean. Nothing wrong with that! Keep em coming Jacob! So many of these young welders are so full of themselves, it's a wonder that they even get a job. For the time spent on the lead, your'e way ahead of most. Stay humble and be blessed.

    20 years ago as a welders helper, I watched an old pipe fitter/welder do this. Your only the second person who I’ve seen do it.
    Nice job and keep up the good work👍

    Here in Australia, Carpenters used to use a similar sort of book for pitching roof framing. It's a little red book that will fit in your pocket called Hancock's Roofing Book. If you know your overall span and the pitch you can basically measure and cut your rafters, hips and valleys, creepers, crippled creepers, plumb cuts, bird's mouths, hip and valley plumb cuts all while everything is laid out on trestles on the ground. Not sure if many carpenters use the book these days given how many roofs are framed using prefabricated roof trusses.

    When running that rose bud keep it angled instead of having it 90° to your work piece and it will stop it from back firing and popping out on you..

    Drilling rigs is where you would see one of these. I have only seen 1 made and that was about 10 1/2 years ago on drilling rig. My old boss who is retired now, used to be the head welder/designer for Zenith Drilling back in the 70’s.

      Not sure about US pipe codes, but in Alberta it would only be allowed on low pressure or hydrostatic service. Nothing over 15 psi.

    You guys keep up the good work I just been privileged on working for and working around guys much like yourself that's why I watch your videos you're not stuck up you have a good skill you're not overly proud you're learning as you're going in your sharing and I just so happen to got along with some older welders back in the day as much the same they just didn't have a video camera just putting it out there that's how we all going to learn is by sharing and finding new ways one welder told me just another day another dollar he learned something new that day and made some money out of it for his family it's all good be good play well with others look forward to your next video Darren Huffman from the Ozarks

    Just ordered a copy of that book after my co-worker spent half a day building a rack to hold firewood. He couldn't wrap his noggin around certain concepts that would have made it much simpler. We're machinists not welders.

    On a flow line on a drilling rig, is a place where it is used,they hardly buy fittings, especially on a 2am rig call. Shit I just center the little pipe in the big one. Cut banana peels all around. Beat down all around and tack one slice at a time. May need to use the torch a bit to make them fit as you beat into place.

    Have you built a eccentric reducer before? I have had to build one only once. Usually places just buy a reducer. They are cheaper then paying us the time it takes to make one, and they are solid. Good job man.

    • @JacobSchofield

    Say my Rosebud but did that too had to take it apart and clean it I used acetone and xylene and an HDX trigger sprayer from Home Depot that HDX trigger sprayers like a dollar 88 it's the only thing I found that will hold xylene that isn't metal anyway mine was brand new pull it out of the box plugged it in and it was defective from the start once I cleaned all the suet and stuff out of it it had no more problems with it say that was a good tutorial on reducer I've never really used anything like that other than on an extremely low pressure stuff and non-production mud tanks frat tanks oilfield equipment like you were saying I've built a lot of headers for stuff like that yeah man that's good old days back then anyway man y'all be safe

    • @JacobSchofield

      its the one i use the most for sure but they make a black book too that has some really good stuff also.

      The Franklin book has more technical specs on pipe, fittings, tubing, etc.

    • @nickcorkery7663
      @nickcorkery7663 Před 6 lety

      First day as a UA pipefitter apprentice they gave us the black Franklin book. It basically has the same information however its a little thicker and probably has some more details. But I think the blue book is just as useful.

  • @tombeals8980
    @tombeals8980 Před 6 lety +1

    Have done this many times. Now, I am told, "That's not a legal fitting to use. You have to buy a manufactured reducer." Same with saddles. For the pressures we used, what we built worked just fine. By the way, we did make templates to speed up the layout. Good video. Enjoyed it. But you probably are in trouble with the CIA and the FBI for your illegal tree stand.

    • @JacobSchofield
      @JacobSchofield  Před 6 lety

      Tom Beals hahahahah lol!!!! Your probably right lol!! And yes you are 100% right everything we use over here is cast fittings. Great comment

    • @seanhazelwood3311
      @seanhazelwood3311 Před 6 lety

      Until they need an eccentric reducer with an oddball offset that noone sells...then we get told to make one, lol.

  • @aserta
    @aserta Před 6 lety

    There was also a tool, very simple, you'd stick it on the pipe (bottom was a H beam style piece) and from there using the arms on it, it allowed you to mark just about anything you could think of. More modern variants i saw even allow the use of a plasma cutter via a small adapter hook.

    • @JacobSchofield
      @JacobSchofield  Před 6 lety +2

      thats right except when you have never done one. wouldnt trust a guy to go be a pipefitter if someone didnt teach you or you have a reference book. pretty sure you have opened a book to learn something.

  • @mauserhouser
    @mauserhouser Před 5 lety +2

    Back when men were made of iron and rigs were made of wood , we used to make pulsation dampeners on workover rig mud pumps etc. or on a nipple up job and you had to make do with what you had on the lease like that. only 2. types of rod were used in those days 5P and 7018 and maybe some Jet if you were making a pitcher nipple and you happened to get hold of some new plate and a nice new casing cut off. as we used to say they're only 2 things we couldn't weld " a broken heart and a torn pu$$y". we used to make all of our own pipe wraps. we'd cut a saddle by hand and make it purdy then make a pipe wrap from a strip of plastic cut out of a 1 gallon milk jug trace around the saddle you just cut on the plastic wrap then cut out the pattern with scissors then write on them with a felt pen what size they were and save them they take up no room and weigh nothing you can rubber band them together. most everything we made back then was make from 2 3/8" or 2 7/8" or 3 1/2 " tubing it was rare if we got any nice new pipe to work with it was always fun to weld on magnetized tubing or drill pipe.

    @darrenhoffman6658 Před 6 lety +5

    Okay first of all back in the olden days yes you had to Bill all of them you did not order a min I learned how to do this on site I can tell you a neat little trick that will speed it up far as your layout goes once you get your four and a half in at the base figure it out and you get your length of your finger figured out you make one configuration of what it's going to look like then you take a piece of cardboard notebook paper and make one simple template lay all your pipe out on the four and a half inch at the base and then go through and liner template up draw every finger out with the template making sure that it is square with your wrap around line double check yourself on the squareness of the finished end of the finger and you should be good to go one thing to note that I was showed is to keep your pipe buckle down level when your heating each finger as you beat it in you should be able to figure out what degree that it needs to be and then you can hold your degree finder roughly on each finger as you bend it and then you can bevel your edges to put your root pass in your hot pass and then your cap and you're all set we talked before enjoy your videos Darren Huffman from the Ozarks
