That repair looks grate! Ya gotta love the slag peeling off like that. One of my Cajun pipeline welding instructors used to say “Dat’s when you know you got something, rat dere”.
Hey MBTS, Why is it that the video you shot 90’ off the ground is triggering my fear of heights while I’m sitting in a recliner. Seriously though, my hats off to you. Would love to see more of these types of videos on the job.
I really enjoyed the video Aaron I love learning and I learned something about the tie off strap I would in a large aluminum factory as a maintenance welder fabricator and and that is not something I knew I was always told if your not learning every day you’re not making yourself better
I feel your pain brother done many ladder risers and cat walk grates on massive oil tanks in Texas. Safety is everything good job my friend Stay Safe always
You almost an over night success story Mr. Bumm from perfect dirt helping you out , I’m seeing 2.36 k subscribers I’m impressed, keep the videos coming my good friend and above all be safe my friend 😎
Chris Helms yes it does but something I didn’t mention in the video is the ground was taped off real good with red danger tape so no one could walk in the immediate area just in case
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 I did wonder if you had the ground taped off below where you are working. We saw that you had scaffolding and tape across the gap, and I'm guessing you didn't leave the hole unattended at any time, but you have to keep the safety police happy.
Insulator here, I've run into many things because lm always looking down at where my feet are going. I think it's an unnatural fear of sudden stops at any height. The best is when you knock your hard hat off and have to climb down a 40 or so foot straight ladder to get it. Then right back up lol.
You might have 18 years in and still learning, but watching you weld is like watching an artist. I am always looking at your welds thinking that they look like welds the automated welders do. They just look so good. Thanks for sharing a piece of your real job with us. Loved the video and it gave me a little queasy feeling in my stomach seeing how high you were. lol
You got some big nuts to be up that high Aaron.. its no wonder mr dirt perfect gets you to work with him.. great vid buddy keep them coming. Watching from wales (uk).. 👍
WOW, you were mentioned heavily in Dirt Perfect's livestream he had Friday night with Captain Kleeman....DP won't admit it but you are missed on his channel.....Even NO JOKE JOHNNEY POKE got a shout out! So glad to see you posting a video...thanks for sharing your welding skills (and man are you skilled!) and great sense of humor. Take care and look forward to the next one!
Aaron you are the most skilled metal fabricator i've ever seen and that covers a lot of ground around the world. I had along military career. I was USAF
Thanks for sharing where you work. I always enjoy seeing other facilities. Glad you can video there, we can't do that even though you were outside and not actually showing your processes. Thanks
Bert Rutledge yes I could make some really good videos we just are not allowed too also. If Dirt Perfect and I would ever get famous lol 😆 I would love to try and get a contract signed and do a good series video at a facility, that way people that don’t know what it’s like would get to see and no rehearsal just see it in real life mode
WOW, thanks so much for sharing what your "real" job is and how you do it. Looking forward to more like this. It is probably going to be tough on you, to be away from your "secondary job", and not being able to supervise your boss on those jobs. (hehehe) Aaron, how high up have you done a job in the past?
Im from a long line of industry workers, father, grand father, all the way back to the days of ESSO. All my life I’ve been told to watch what I walk on, and I’ve still caught myself stepping out on walkways that should’ve been fixed years ago, and that’s just in the summers between semester, I’m going to be an industrial arts/ agriculture teacher down here in Louisiana, I’m hoping to use my experience, and those shared by folks like yourself, and dirt perfect, to show the goods, bands, and uglys out there. I’ve found 4 years of industrial arts taught me half of what one summer on tools as a laborer did! It’s cool to see you in your element! Keep safe and burn em hot and straight!
Aaron Bumm, man on the catwalk!!! 😉 Well explained the problem, cause and effects. If I didn't know any better, I would say this is your usual work, playing with steel instead of soil and dust!! Enjoy your videos sir, good assistant too 👍😎🇬🇧
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 A little rusty at this metalwork 😂 No doubt it has come back like second nature...... Have really enjoyed watching you on Mike's channel too, hope you continue to make guest appearances there, you will be there until November the way his video schedule works !!!
Well now I’m super jealous. I want to be allowed to film my real job too:( on a side note you better get back to your other company soon. That employee of yours is running a muck in your equipment.
Hey Aaron, I've been watching your crazy antics with DP and it's good to see you have your own channel, so I subscribed. I just saw the gearbox job completed and you said that you will be back with DP in the new year. Looking forward to seeing you guys on the job again, always entertaining. That was some fine stick welding there, thank you for taking the time to share and stay safe up there. Watching from Perth Western Australia.🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍
I subscribed Aron, had to see what all the fuss was about over here since you were called back to work. Might learn something......👍 Carbon arc gouging over on DP's site was good.
Clyde Acor thank you sir and yeah some jobs we go on you really earn that paycheck like stack jobs 5-600feet 1100 feet that’s when it gets a little sketchy
You sir have brass ones that clank! Ya I don't think there's enough money in the world for me to go that high, I'll just stay here on the ground where it's safe. 😉 enjoy your videos!
Good video I am so glad I found out you had your own Channel is that your job you do for a living you got a lot of guts working that job please be safe man keep the videos coming I am sure you recognize my name from dirt perfect comments I Was comment about you to my friend
Donald Cisney yes I do! Most of the time I love the jobs I do but every now and then you get them jobs that are not so fun and it is fun going from metal to dirt to wood a little bit of everything thanks for watching
Thanks Aaron, it was fascinating to see what you do for a living. I worked on large towers too and the heights thing kinda goes away after you start concentrating on the job. Just got to keep enough fear to maintain your respect and stay safe.
Hey man behind the scenes, I hope my mini crate I sent to DP will help you fix some of his equipment a little bit better in the future. I enjoy this type of content, I left my "corporate job" as a non union pipefitter almost 2 years ago to work for myself. The biggest thing I miss about the job is the camaraderie amongst the guys! Everything I mentioned in the letter to DP pertains to you as well!!! You bunch of guys are my kinda people! Stay safe out there! Dan@6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA
Hey man thanks Alot DP called me today and said he got it he wants to wait for me to open it (because he wouldn’t know what to do with it 😂😂) but once again thank you!
I’ve often thought that I’d like to come down and hang out with you for awhile ........probably not much sense it it now ! I couldn’t see what you were doing .....from the ground ! That’s awesome Aaron !
thats what i was walking on, back in Feb. 1987 when it let go and i with the cat walk fall 20 feet to the frozen ground at 2am in 40 below 50 mile from no were by my self on a job, broke my bacl all to fn hell, the cat walk was on the side of a hugh koring 3 man slasher, i was up there to do some welding repairs on the in feed house
Man I hate to hear that that sucks sorry just getting back to you been pretty busy here lately I hope the best for you thank you for watching I appreciate it 🤙🏻
Hate to see you back at work. Dirt Perfect's not the same without you. But it will be next year before he post one with you not there. Walked on that stuff for years and never worried about it . Could see 14 floors down some people wouldn't get off the elevator.
I just want to say that looks like your day job can be real neat coming from someone who went to welding school and got a ok welding job out of school and would like to step into or get into the boiler maker welding or a welding job like it
