I hung iron for a couple of years when I was in my late twenties, then moved on to millwrighting. Love your videos because they make me feel young again. Basically the same stuff I did, low rise, 4-10 stories.
I can relate... did millwright/ boilermaker then moved on to pipefitting. I started working in oil refineries and seen pipefitters and welders making more money I ran with it.
no joke as long as it's floating you can move hundreds of tons with a gentle nudge. the biggest problem is when its moving too fast, it'll yeet you into the next zip code if it doesnt squash you flat
One of the most frustrating part of Iron Working is when you signal the crane operator to boom down and hold the load , and he doesn't know how to do it !
union near you, might even be hiring. if you live in the south DONT DO IT, unions are shit in the south. i learned that the hard way. up north this is a solid 40+/hr
they're paid by the hour, long hours. it depends if they only get time and a half or double time but id ballpark them in the 15-20k/month range you can calculate the minimum based on 40/hr. assuming 12hr days 7 days a week thats 40hrs straight time (1.0) and 44hrs time and a half (1.5x) taxes vary wildly but figure an easy 35% off for that
If you have a thing about heights, it’s not for you. Otherwise it’s really not that hard. The camera gives it a weird vertigo look. Totally unsurprised at the video title.
Kia ora..this be iron woking or iron working..man get it right..or is dat 'you'.. wrong taital!?!?well anywayz..use to fabricate dem beam's an install on site.. awesome to have a Trade carrier, all credit an respect to those who are/were good tutor's/ instructor's .. awesome to see/watch with a 'coldie' ..thank you 🦾✌️fond memories to cherish..praise The Good Lord, amen 🦾 🙏 thnx Gerry Martin..but be 'there' or be square..!?!?' nice vid though.. cheerz
Lol... I've watched a few of this dudes videos and the first thing I thought was how slow they are, then noticed he wears them knee pads ... then seen he pulls out his spud or bar for every single connection. I'd like to know the company name. I'd be a employee of the month if speed is their standard.

i went from millwright to turbine mechanic, less varied work but better seasons. this shit terrifies me lol, i hate heights
I get nervous watching these guy’s work, unbelievable how they do this every day, the real heroes putting their life on the line
The sitting and making the connection...Doable. But walking across joists, girders and beams...HELLLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO I get dizzy just looking down!
im laying in bed scooting back like NOPENOPENOPE
Thank God for men like this
I love how the beams are all wet and slippery looking
haha. looking. right. this is why you buy good boots
my palms sweat watching this shit. Crazy how those heavy beams float in like that.

My stomach turns watching these videos. I'd fall probably lol.
must have been an ironworker who spelt the title
Spelled
@@cristianvalle4123 he spellted it lots more gooder then most da fellers
I didn't know how to spell iron worker now i r 1
Ironworking is more importanter than an education. Ha ha ha love this shit.
Lol spelt?
Great camera shots, you feel like the bolts are in ya palm !
thanks for building the country that I live in and enjoy.
Looks scary!
Great video 📹 👍
My feet tingle watching these vids
Great work.
7:27 there's that fall arrest
Finally 😬
Good work definitely
Holding on to a Bleu little bucket😅
too bad yt is not recomending this video to more people.. the lastest two coments were 1 and 6 days ago
I couldn't do it, I hate heights. I'll crawl into any hole or ditch no matter how deep or confined the space is but I ain't doin that.
Do all iron workers have small feet, and do crane operators have a chalk board for crushed hands they have caused ???
be extremely careful of crane operator's, I know Local #27
Yes
One of the most frustrating part of Iron Working is when you signal the crane operator to boom down and hold the load , and he doesn't know how to do it !
I'm about to work as an Steel Erector at Saudi Arabia next month.☺️
Make sure no one takes your passport once you're there.
I wish you the best for your safety (not just the ironworking part)
Union or Non?
Must be first time connecting
I think so haha
Obviously spelling isn't mandatory for Ironwokering....LMFAO.
I do residential framing for living..but now I wanna do a man's work like this where do I start?
union near you, might even be hiring. if you live in the south DONT DO IT, unions are shit in the south. i learned that the hard way. up north this is a solid 40+/hr
Respect it takes big balls to do this work, iknow iv done it and loved it
Yeah ok pussy.
Prove IT......
Красиво работает!
Страшно смотреть...
When two iron wokers get on you tube.. stay gold pony boys
What monthly salary do they get?
they're paid by the hour, long hours. it depends if they only get time and a half or double time but id ballpark them in the 15-20k/month range
you can calculate the minimum based on 40/hr. assuming 12hr days 7 days a week thats 40hrs straight time (1.0) and 44hrs time and a half (1.5x) taxes vary wildly but figure an easy 35% off for that
Do you use a harness and if you do, any chance we can see your tie off procedure?
found the OSHA plant
@@janglenapper 😂😂😂😂🤣 your right that was mad suspect
He needs to tie off
My God these are slow why so many connecting bolts?
Do you always put 2 bolts in and tighten them? 1 bolt and go
george lashomb you can’t always one bolt it for big iron and certain types. Some of it can have the potential to roll.
OSHA requires 2 my guy
1 holds the weight 2 keep it in place
One connector? Rat?
