Really??? Ha ha.
I wouldn’t. Don’t get me wrong it’s a highly skilled area of welding and good brass can be earned from it but I’ve done my fair share of laying in the crap for long shifts running teams on site welding.

I am not afraid of being wet dirty or in some hole I really would love to be a pipefitter welder

I’m not afraid either mate.
I never did pipe welding but I used to do a lot welding on site from structural to general fab and quite a bit of overlay work and it’s a great experience if you get in with the right lot.
Dave if you want to be a pipe welder then be a pipe welder mate. What’s stopping you.
Your still young mate. Don’t forget zep is about 100 years old or more() so you’ve plenty of time to get to that standard.

I never said you were @richard I'm unsure what my welding skills are I'm still testing the waters with some things but I do like welding pipe or attempting to and im not a qualified pipefitter got some XP tho bout it.

You’d need to get yourself to a asme1X standard and go do some quals. Very much within your reach Dave if you put in the time.

 

[davidjohnperry]

You’d have to research it Dave and find out.
Like I say if you want to do it go for it.

How old do you need to be for an apprentice program I'm a little over the mound @Brad93

 

[davidjohnperry]

I'll look more in to it over the weekend

 

[Brad93]

I don’t think there is a limit mate it just depends if you can live on apprentice wage

 

[davidjohnperry]

Depends on the job if my budgets are right I can live on near anything as long as I can earn say 15000 a year then I could do it quite easily

 

[davidjohnperry]

Also means I won't be buying a 235 rebel for a few years
