They twist pipes into threads and cut them to fit angles. It's not pick-up-the-cotton-and-put-it-in-the-sack, but it's manual labor nevertheless. Regardless, it's not anything to fight the Jews with, to be sure.

Commercial plumber is better. Pulmbers who do high rise buildings make very very good money. There is a lot of math involved though. Pressure gradients, friction losses, etc etc.

How to find out if a career is non degenerate:

>Could a nigger do it?
>Did your education/training require some kind of (field-related) "education" about how white people are evil?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, then your career is degenerate.

>>71679520
This

>TFW getting journeyman welding ticket after the next 8 weeks of school
>tfw I'll probably get my pressure ticket
>tfw I'll make over 100$/h welding high pressure pipe as a contractor

And I'll work next to a pipefitter, and apprentice welder.
>>
>>71677984
Yes op, then I'll weld it up for you. We can't start a business.
>>
>>71679726
The first one isn't a reason. If your goal is a homogeneous nation then you will still need someone to do the shitty jobs.

My dad is a pipe fitter
Made a nice life for his family.
I would say yes.
>>
>>71680304
In some fields like oil pipeline the pip fitters grind the pipe and get it to fit right then the welders com in and weld it. Pipe fitters can do a lot of different work in different fields
>>
>>71680409
Don't be, where I live is highly dependent on the oil price, when oil is like it is now, all the jobs dry up.
>>
>>71680560
Welder helpers grind the pipe as told, then the welders fit and weld it. There is very rarely a dedicated pipe fitter unless it's a job with thousands of joints or 36"+ pipe.

They only replace so many of us with you guys. The clients have to make sure their plant/factory/house doesn't blow the fuck up. Essentially all you amigos are just there to drive our wages down. Meanwhile we're there so y'all as a group can prove yourselves worthwhile by working harder for less money. Isn't it funny how we both get exploited? It'd be great if shit changed enough for us all to be paid what we're actually worth.

Todo no tambien, amigo... but at least I'm learning Spanish.

Hazard pay. A whole lot of different things can kill you doing that sort of work. I'm an industrial electrician, and the shit I work on could both melt you and blow you up at the same time if it were hot while I was working on it.

IPT's Pipe Trades Handbook is the best book you can buy, everyone has the Pipefitter's Blue Book but the IPT's is the best.

Sadly there are almost no video's about the trade(pipeftting) because most guys are pretty old, no real forums either.

Best way to learn is to work with people who are in the trade, pay attention, and don't be a know it all cunt.

Half of you kids trashing trades will not complete your degrees. Another quarter will end up 50k in debt and working at Home Depot. 20 percent more will get a degree and then a good paying job and will have to work 10 years to pay off their loans and catch up in net worth to their tradesmen peer who has been making 40 or 50k and possibly being groomed for a foreman type job that will get him up toward (or past) 6 figures. The last 5 percent may or may not get a degree/job etc, but will squander the family money and have nothing to pass on to their children.

I used to be a Fire Sprinkler pipefitter. It was fun work looking back. Usually working in a parking structure, and hanging pipes on the ceiling. My buddy still works there, and gets $36 an hour non union. At that particular company, you can still get employed by just submitting a resume, and talking to the owner of the company. Life Safety pays well, and I'm sure that there's still shops around willing to hire younglings. That's how I got that job. And I learned on the job, and took tests when my supervisors felt like I was ready. Cold in the wintertime, but dress accordingly.

You should start a pipefitter's forum. Worst case scenario, nobody joins within a year, and you're out the few hundred dollars in hosting fees and domain name. Best case scenario it becomes a fairly popular forum and you make decent side cash from on-site ads or "premium memberships".

If I were a pipefitter I'd do it, but I'm not one, so I have no knowledge of what pipefitters even talk about.

Its not as easy as that...

Alot of pipefitters are welder/fab guys. They can properly measure then fabricate a solid piece of pipe with a desired path of angles and bends to make a job work.

They also thread pipe themselves with a pipe threader.

This work os a skill. You cant just hire any schmuck off the street to so it.
