Not an ironworker. But I have to crawl around all kinds of steel to take measurements to tie into existing stuff or rebuild stuff after a fire/explosion.

I get a kick out of guys that the safety guy comes by and tells them they have to use their harness NOW. They clip onit to a run of 3/4" EMT lol.

Real ironworkers were the ones that did that shit in the early days with nothing. If they fell, they just fucking fell and were dead right there.

But I'm not even a pretend iron worker, because I wouldn't do that shit with a fall harness, safety net and a stunt-fall airbag.

Assholes and elbows!

Nothing more fun than the double saddle.

Before I became an LEO, I was a journeyman out of local 775 El Paso Texas.

Did structural, rebar, and a lot of rigging.

yep, fuck that.

I'd probably kill half a dozen people on the job because I'd be dropping bolts and nuts.  That and I'd have to crawl down about once an hour to take a piss.
