Kaye, do I have to have a Lincoln pipe rig to get on your wall? I'm not a pipe guy, but I got a sweet little general repair setup with a blue machine. Thanks. Steve.
Parent - By KSellon (****) Date 07-14-2008 13:12

Parent - - By KSellon (****) Date 07-14-2008 16:36

Parent - - By Justin O (**) Date 07-15-2008 03:25
I was working in hearne alot last year they just asked me to go up there last week on a 16" line
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-15-2008 03:30
Hearne is a crap hole, who was the company you worked for? there is a lot of pipe work in this area right now, that the reason I want to get into it, but don't have much time in welding pipe, well to pass x-ray that is
Parent - - By Justin O (**) Date 07-15-2008 03:48
hearne does suck it was for bottom line services and then one week for PSI but they tried to screw me so i drug up
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-15-2008 12:25
Was it on pipe or something else?
Parent - - By Justin O (**) Date 07-15-2008 15:00
pipe put in an amine plant and a compressor station
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-16-2008 01:46
are you going to come back up to the hearne area or go somewhere else, you seem to have been all over lately?
Parent - - By Justin O (**) Date 07-16-2008 14:48

18 yrs. I posted my story this same post box but under ' how did you get your start?'Check it out. To make it short, my grandpa owned his own diesel mechanic shop in central TX. He let me burn a few and then I was hooked.The whole story is over on the other post window. I am at the bottom of page two.   How about you?
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-17-2008 12:34
Where in central texas was his shop? I started because my old man was a welder, helped him for years decided I liked it went out on my own, weld mainly on oilfeild junk, its ok  but I want to get into pipe work bad. I've been practicing my downhill work. I've been out on my own for about 7 yrs or so.

Parent - - By pypLynr (***) Date 07-20-2008 04:45
Buddy , I am wearing an AGGIELAND t-shirt and my favorite aTm visor right as we speak. My kids are all aggie fans and my wife is too. Since I grew up and still live in Burnet TX , it is only right. Stephen McGee is from here also. His dad was my coach when I was in school. My son is also named Stephen , he's a junior this year . He is varsity and first string off. & def. His goal is to go to A&M ... sports or no sports. He won't have any problems, he is 3rd in his class. We also root for Jordan Shipley who plays for TU , but only when A&M ' s not playin'.   haha. Are you guys die hard?
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-20-2008 17:03
My wife has two degrees from A&M, I would say so, hard core
