I had an apprentice who I was teaching how to bend recently who showed me an app for his phone - ibend I think it was called. He used the phone as a protactor and it beeped when the desired bend was hit. At least he didn't call me gramps when I called that neato. ![]() |

When things got rocking and rolling they would man the job up out of the hall, this is where union guys can get a bad rap. All of the sudden I can't look at the prints, guys b*tch if I'm working by myself or with another apprentice or god forbid I am doing something they would rather be doing. Just do your f"in job and stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. |

It's understandable. Often privilege gets abused and then everyone loses out.

as far as using a hogs head far threading larger pipe w porta pony, grind down a 1" pipe rgc btw to fit in. if it is a newer head it will allow you to do this with a set screw on one side of it. this allows you to mount the head in a vise instead of lifting it to larger pipe every time. next take a rope and put a clove hitch to a piece of i think 1".maybe 3/4. whatever fits into the end of the porta pony handle, and tape it up so will not slide off the 2' long piece. tie other end of rope to bottom of tri stand leg on right side. this allows you to pull out of handle of porta pony when not using it to set down. have fun with this. follow the experienced. they will show u alot of tricks. spinning 90's with ropes... rigging .spinning together pipe with rope. find the laziest smart guy around. they think up these things in their sleep, and ask for advice. i bulled a lot when i was an apprentice. regret none of it.
