Welders they run an electric caulking gun and think there's something as a labor I can pass x-ray stainless and carbon steel thank you very much but I'm just a labor
My Pops was the best welder on earth!!!! He could weld everything but two things. 1. The Crack of dawn 2. A broken heart. Everything else was a walk in the park. God rest my dad's soul.
He probably took over after my grandfather retired. …he claimed to know a technique that involved preheating, spray weld, and a live sacrifice to the great arc gods, he could weld both of those thru the middle of the serial # and you wouldn’t even be able to find the joint without better than 20/20 vision. Without a grinder.
@@Mr.Sparks.173 well even more accurate we wait until the owner of the company comes to the site and says our work area is dirty then we send the apprentice to clean up
...They let a ROOKIE welder work on that pipe!? As someone who's going on my fifth month of in-field ironworking experience, I can tell you right now that I'd side with Ricky on this one. We may be able to pass a weld test, but the field is a COMPLETELY different beast. EDIT: Also, I love these videos. The fact that I'm a welder just makes them even better.
As the son of a 3rd generation IBEW electrician, that electrician has been done with the job for weeks now. Hell, it takes about 10-14 business days _just_ for them to find the broom, especially if the apprentice got sent out to look for it.
@Mitch Conners Mofo I'm busy. I'm stuck between the pipe stretcher and the board stretcher and neither has the right hitch to fit on my truck! Besides how am I supposed to get that skyhook under low overpasses?
Jesus... that second bit had me DYING!! I was a union electrician for about two years and on my first job site I got asked to wire up hanging lights in a school we were doing. So I'm in the room all by myself and since I was previous military (Navy Ordnanceman) we were always told to police our work area when finished, so that's what I did. You would have thought I was a F-ing ALIEN! Took me literally a week to find out what the deal was. I had to ask the job foreman WTF was going on....he literally looked at me and said "Boy, I've been doing this for nearly 20 years and I can count on one hand how many people I have seen do that on a daily basis.....keep it up!"
Sometimes I have to remind myself that Ricky, Roscoe, Safety Prick and Bossman are all played by the same person. You do such a great job keeping them all separate and distinct with their own personalities and mannerisms lol. When is Pablo going to get some lines and screen time though? It would be hilarious to see the banter between him and Ricky. #WeWantPablo
The electrician one had me cracking up. My gf is an electrician apprentice and all she got to do for the first two months with her coworkers was sweep and clean.
Standard test for newbies in construction. "If you cant make me money and be useful with a broom why would i put you on the tools?" Is what my dad told me when I first started under him.
Was really hoping this was a welding compilation from the contest lol but even though I herd all the other ones they are always still funny BOSS MAN👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My dad would surprise you so much because not only is he an electrician who cleans up his area after his job but he also is an electrician supervisor who cleans up after himself and I know plenty of others who don’t
Lol! So true! I started a welding job. All the men trying to strut their stuff about how awesome they are. I just go “uh huh” and go back to welding. Meanwhile, the other woman, she starts welding circles around them. Lol.
My stepdad was a journeyman welder for the local 808 ironworkers Union out of Orlando Florida he had been teaching how to weld for about a week when he brought home his apprentice of almost 4 years and was teaching him how to pass the final test and playing around he had me and this guy do the same welds I will tell you this he was laid off at the end of the next day because it had gotten around that he lost to a person who had only been welding for a week I really didn't believe when my stepdad had told me that what had just did would have passed me for the 6G welding exam
I spent 45 years in the industry and I’ll testify to the fact electricians don’t clean up after them selfs…. I always said if you can step across it, I can’t weld it and still believe I can weld the crack of dawn and mend a broken heart.
Holy... I just started working at a vessel manufacturing yard a few weeks ago and had to learn the terminology pretty damn quick (I'm in shipping/receiving) but BRO that hydro test at the end XD
Man, watching these videos is teaching me so much about your profession and the kind of stuff that goes on from day to day. While I think I may be able to learn a lot of this stuff, I know it wouldn't be easy.
Ahhhhhh..You welders. I remember those days. Running beads all day. Now I'm in the big league. I'm a fabricator. I'll do all the hard thinking. Let you kids play with your rod. Gotta say though..still like doing 6010 overhead. Nothing like having her spray all over your head.... Did I mention Im a Fabricator.
Lol, an old electrician came to the steel shop to fix up some tools, I said "so youre afraid of brooms ay?" And he said something like "I'm deathly afraid of them, don't bring any near me" Like on the inside I was fucking rolling man 😂
You probably will never ever even read this but you’re one funny dude Ima tradesmen myself I’m a carpenter by trade/electrician/plumber yeah Jack of all master of none but you are one funny dude man keep it up
I just recently discovered the Ricky and the Boss videos. All I can say after 40 years of construction is these videos are funny as fuck. They are accurate to the personalities one encounters on the job.
Still waiting for the 'pre existing' safety guy.... Where I work... "Oh, you sure you sawed your leg off this morning? sounds like a pre existing injury from before the time we hired you".
You forgot "If you can jump across it, I can tack it!" "I can weld everything from the crack of dawn to a broken heart", "I can weld for four fitters and fit for four welders".
Brother I'm laughing and crying at the same time. The Pearl snap. Living with my godfather in Montana didn't know that kick my ass seriously gave me the discipline I needed to be the nobody I am today. At any rate driving the old Chevy with that big old horn right in the middle of that steering wheel and having those loose pearls on the cuffs hit that God damn bell every time. Ting ting unbelievable thanks for the memories man that's f****** awesome sorry about the cuss word there disrespect just had to say it
Hydro tests are simp k e to pass. As a young pipeline I used to run 200 stringer beads a day on 4" 250 wall pipe building gathering stations for natural gas gathering stations. 100% ex Ray. Every weld.
I find it funny every time I get a radio call to weld things around the plant that the “welders” are having trouble with. Or my personal favorite the “Pipe Welder” who couldn’t strike an arc with a 7018!
In Newberg Oregon they're installing a new hospital. I was greas for the general contractor. We had so many trades working a certain area I was able to pressure, guilt, and shame an electrician into cleaning up his own mess.
