Anybody know the number for the brady job? The one I have had must be hooked to a fax now. I keep getting that fax sound when I call. hear they have to finish a rig on site near shreveport. Trying to find out if they need some hands on site?

kind of a dumb question, but how can some one get into rig building?
Parent - - By raftergwelding (*****) Date 12-12-2008 14:29
Tom if you can pass a weld test and are a decent fitter you shouldnt have any trouble just need to go looking

the test you take depends on what you wanna do and the inspector most oil field comapnies want a 6g test on pipe the test i took was a 3g 1/2'' plate test 6010 root and hot pass down hill and 7018 up fill and cap then took the plate down ground a groove in the back stood it back up and ran a 7018 up pretty simple test if i can pass it after being out of it for so ong i know you can you definitly have the machine for the job once you get the motor rebuilt i have had 6 machines counting the 1 i traded to you and have not found a machine that welds like the 1 i traded you i want it back lol
