No room for stickers?
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-22-2012 21:22
Stickers ? He dont care. He is just trying to look like a Pipeliner. Why ? I have NO idea !
Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-22-2012 21:50
im not trying to look like nobody but me the pancakes are much cooler to use in the summer. If things dont pick up i just might have to go pipelining. Youre just just jealous cause it does look bad ass painted that way lol
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-22-2012 23:49
Your just in the wrong spot ! Things are wide open everywhere. No need to stoop to pipline'n! Besides, I know you. You would quit after the first day. Probably before lunch !
Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-23-2012 01:00
Last thing I am is a quitter
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-23-2012 01:26
I didnt say your a Quitter. I think you would quit from sheer boredom. You like a challenge and a change.
Parent - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-23-2012 17:39
Yea you're right there. I'm bored now. Got us adding on to a barn I can't stand putting up metal buildings
Parent - By Sourdough (****) Date 07-24-2012 04:41
I thought most welders quit while it was good, before it got a chance to get bad...?
Parent - - By Cumminsguy71 (*****) Date 07-24-2012 00:06
I sure miss mine. Been out under the sun last 2-1/2 weeks and getting tired of seeing my ugly mug reflecting back at me instead of seeing the weld. Plus when you pull the pancake down its good and dark!
Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-24-2012 03:53
It is nice to not have any glare
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-24-2012 04:29
The only thing I don't like about my pancake hood is if I am just tacking something together I can't just flip it down with my work in one hand and the stinger in the other, tried it one time thought I bloodyed my nose
Parent - By Sourdough (****) Date 07-24-2012 04:42
Wait till you run into something with that pancake on your head. Balsa wood is stronger than the bridge of your nose. It hurts.
Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-24-2012 13:05
Yea that sucks that's why I put the auto lens in it
Parent - By texwelder (***) Date 07-24-2012 18:31
I used auto lenses for years and went back to regular lenses they just seem clearer than the auto ones
Parent - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-22-2012 21:50
not on this 1 Bob maybe after i burn it a lot
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-23-2012 01:01
That's awesome
Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-23-2012 01:23
Thanks
Parent - By texwelder (***) Date 07-23-2012 02:29
I also have to agree I am using my first pancake ever for the last about six months and don't know why I didn't buy one twenty years ago I love mine
Parent - - By texwelder (***) Date 07-23-2012 01:04
Hey there ain't nothing wrong with pipeline'n if you get in with a good company you can make a lot of money I know guys that have been doin six days a week for ten plus years no joke with the same company
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-23-2012 01:28
I will ALWAYS argue the point of "Making alot of money" on a Pipeline. I would put my 1099's on my worst year against a GOOD year of a Pipeliner, ANY day of the week. I guess we have different Ideas of. "Alot of Money."
Parent - By texwelder (***) Date 07-23-2012 02:28
No I understand what your saying I have had some real good years chasing rigs and working for these frac companies but these guys have been steady like I said 6 days a week for 10 years and at 65 an hour and the company furnished all the consumables but its has been the same five guys working for that company.

hell making money is completely and totally overrated.    At the end of the day i would much rather make profit.
Parent - By texwelder (***) Date 07-23-2012 02:30
So true
Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-23-2012 12:15
Well, your right. However, Personally, I don't consider it is making money unless it is profit. The rest is just cash flow. In other words, if I make 500 dollars a day and spend 501 per day. I made no money. However, if I make 30k per week and spent 1500 per week, (like I did in South LA for 4 months this year) Then I figure I averaged about 28,500 per week for 4 months. Building Rigs. Pipelines never seem to have that return.

Cactus if its the money you love making you need to get into computers.  Old Bill Gates was making that much money a Day just out of high school.. Lol..
Parent - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-23-2012 18:47
I have made my share. I am moving on to developing fields now
Parent - - By Johnny Walker (***) Date 07-23-2012 19:13

Parent - - By Cactusthewelder (*****) Date 07-23-2012 19:53
You shoulda. Probably wouldn't have got it but you shoulda ask anyway:lol:
Parent - - By Johnny Walker (***) Date 07-23-2012 21:31

Parent - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-23-2012 23:02

Parent - - By Rafter_G_Weldin (***) Date 07-23-2012 23:03

Parent - - By Johnny Walker (***) Date 07-24-2012 00:14
