Millwright Mechanic 

Yes sir. Definitely a good trade. A dying one at that. No one talks about it.

@@VantageWelding yep it's one of those jobs where you don't need a lot of man power for .

@@johndowe7003 definitely, I didn’t know what they were till around 2014. I was like....” who are this guys just chilling at those pumps all day.” Lol

@@VantageWelding those are the guys ya wanna buddy up with lol

@@VantageWelding I found out this year. At my job when I kept hearing someone on the loudspeaker calling for a millwright. I could never figure out what they were talking about but now I know.

Good luck brother. You got it man. Make that money!!

Sameeee broo!! Im Getting my associates degree in industrial maintenance

Welders vlog sorry for the late reply but thank you for your videos! Honestly been nailing all my assignments with high 80s you guys are awesome

Hi buddy, I am currently studying Engineering Geology at the University of Pretoria South Africa, I am looking to switch to Millwrite this year because of how interesting it is. Can you guide me on how to go about this? I was looking to get a leadership or something, because I can't afford the course.

Nice brother. Definitely an awesome trade. One that most people don’t speak of.

Can you weld me a vertical up?

Good stuff bro. Go get that bag homie. 🦾

To be fair, in the U.S. it's probably harder to get your hands on a laser tool. Took me awhile before I got one. You can still get use a flat edge or dial indicator and get in tolerance.

Congrats. Wish you a fruitful and prosperous career.

That’s awesome brother. Keep grinding. Update me when you’re done with the program. By the way, where are you getting your training from?

Food grade anti-seize brethren. 💪

Great tip!

Good deal brother. It’s a good trade

That’s awesome brother. Good luck on your journey.

I'm a Journeyman Machinist. Recently switched trades to an industrial mechanic. At the same factory. Although I'm glad I learned machining. There is no fucking way I was going to deal with the bullshit I dealt with as a Machinist.

🤟

Non-chlorinated. Thanks brother. 🫡

Haha right on, ya never know what someone might grab of the shelf.@@VantageWelding

@TheScottdavis86 for sure brother. I don’t think non chlorinated is any better. 😂😂 I have a video on here stating which oil I use to drill. An organic compound. And wear O2 filters when I work. 🫡

Depends on the size of the job brother. But usually just hand tools.

@@VantageWelding Yeah I'm learning that currently as a Apprentice. Im used to using metric tools but some want to only use standard. I prefer metric always

My boss doesn’t allow most power tools. That way no one strips/snaps bolts or Allen’s. Also we don’t use Allen’s with the round ball on end. If it breaks off it’s a pain to get out.

It’s one of those deals you do or you don’t. 😅. But yes. As long as whatever you are lifting doesn’t create too much bearing weight.

@@VantageWelding well u got er done. It's a cool trade I'm sure it's very rewarding seeing the results. And thanks for the reply pal.

@brian2196 for sure brother. It’s a pretty fun job

Brine and condensate budd

Ten four bro.

It’s not always clean bro. You know this. Sometimes is shit. Sometimes it’s clean. But a wrangler plant does not sound as tough as having to work on a Chlor alkali environment, no?

Nice brother. 🦾🦾🦾

What do you guys use?

Ñaaaa

Thank you Miss

Thanks for watxhing

Thank you for watching brother.

I agree with the high school idea. But one of them is 60 years old. He’s in his way out. He started as a millwright helper and worked his way up. And my other buddy is 33. His grandad was a plant manager for one of the big dawgs here in Houston, and his dad was an electrician. He didn’t want to go either route and created his own path by, again, starting from the bottom as a helper and working his way up. But you can definitely go to college for it. Lee College I hear has a decent program.

Hey homie. I just got into an apprenticeship with my local union. Usually just take an aptitude test to see where they will place you. It’s really great pay starting out

I got a job as a entry level maintenance mechanic and is pretty good trade I was in the electrical field but got this offer and is just amazing and the trade is good pay as well.

That’s good to hear budd. Not a lot of people know about this craft

Get that money brother.

Yeah. With cranes. But I’d say it is pretty physically demanding at times.

Tim Robinson-“You sure about that”

No it’s not harder. I would say it’s different. I cannot disclose his hourly wage but I can tell you here in the states millwright makes about 30-60hr depending on experience and the kind of job you work on

According to millwright mechanics, you want to be able to tighten those bolts down without gettin the shaft in a bind brother.

They rebuild maybe one pump a year. You probably wouldn’t get to see much lol

I’ll let them know brother. Those damn mill wrongs.

That is super dope homie. Take advantage and learn as much as possible.

what trade school are you going to? how much will it all cost ?

🫡

It was all brand new parts. But I’ll let the millwrights know budd. 🙌🙌

Weird. It brought me back to this comment. It read, “ read Oscar’s comment on RU-vid.” Now I’m stuck on a loop

Any trade is in demand. I don’t know brother. I’m not a millwright.

@@VantageWelding my bad bro n good looking

@@deangelothompson6696 you’re good homie.

@@VantageWelding I’m a millwright in my 3rd year at college right now, there is always work for a millwright. compressors, hydraulics, pumps & conveyors are used everywhere, there is loads of work and depending what part of the trade you want to work in the money is incredible, sometimes more so than other trades. I have been loving it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a trade to get into.

@@nolanbie3664 what school u go to

Really? I believe you can do anything you set your mind to.

Ok 👌

@Nunya Business hence the dust free, climate control work space.
