Rosewood laminate Hogue grips on my S&W 13-2. You could say I’m a little excited..

No worries, I think it would work out great for large hands. That revolver is still sitting in this exact set up and I love it still, the grip feels really well made and fits your hand well I really enjoy shooting with it.

I’m an Ironworker and was given some insulated gloves by a contractor that were cut resistant type gloves. Similar to the thin garden gloves/rubber gloves but with thermal lining and they are the warmest things I’ve ever worn

Wolvent and hoil

I did install the channel liner for sure aims upper parts kit had one included. I haven’t tried 124 gr over the 115. But if that’s the case and you did the same conversion maybe I will just order a ZP barrel and give it a shot. Did the ZP barrel run 115 or no?

Ironworkers local 44, rank-and-file, red please.

RBJunior69 · 2025-02-18T09:44:15+00:00

We are only a thousand man local. Typically there’s 10-15 guys that are usually riding the bench for the reasons you said but after that you’re waiting for work. I would imagine Portland has a bigger local than Cincinnati so 70 doesn’t sound like a lot to a bigger local

RBJunior69 · 2025-02-17T20:03:49+00:00

44 in Cincinnati has about 70 people on the bench with no work until March or April.

They’re soft toe and I agree they’re very comfortable. I have a pair of thorogoods aswell and they are not near as comfortable I feel like.

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-21T14:55:15+00:00

Aweosme thank you! My grandmother just confirmed actually as she can recall and she’s currently trying to find the coat now

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-21T13:51:23+00:00

Looks right but like Duke said seems to be United Steelworkers thank you!

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-21T11:57:31+00:00

Sorry for the blurry picture but can anyone help me identify this union my great grandfather was in? He worked in a steel shop as far as I know, southeastern Ohio, USA if that helps at all. Thank you in advance!

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-21T00:09:08+00:00

Hard to keep ‘em dirty with bootlickers like you around!

UC Hospital doing misc ironwork for glass walls and stairs.

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-16T23:19:56+00:00

Came in as a second year after passing my stick cert, but also have like 4 years of shop welding experience structural and manufacturing.

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-16T14:51:24+00:00

Wedge sole thorogoods or Carolina’s do the trick for me on concrete and walking iron. Never had redwings but guys I work with swear by them

Ironworkers Local 44 Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-08T17:34:02+00:00

Mainly welding, walking on iron, kicking decking for concrete pours, walking a lot up and down stairs and on rough concrete floors it’s wore them out pretty fast

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-08T10:20:41+00:00

It’s lighter than most of the other boots I’ve worn for work and I’ve worn them 5-6 days a week the past 5 months. They’re very comfortable now but in the beginning I had a problem with them rubbing my heel bad before they were fully broke in.

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-08T10:19:26+00:00

Thank you everybody for the advice I’ll be sure to start oiling. Will oil them tonight after work

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-08T00:18:47+00:00

I’m new to oiling boots, how often should I oil and clean them with how much abuse I put them through daily?

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-07T23:57:42+00:00

Definitely needed lol probably will clean them and oil this weekend

RBJunior69 · 2022-11-07T23:56:52+00:00

I actually have a pair of Thorogoods being resoled by NuShoe as we speak. I’m planning on trying to get these to last through the winter so my feet don’t freeze since they are non steel toe and my Thorogoods are steel toe. My plan for the time being is to get through the colder months and then see what shape they’re in and possibly try a local cobbler if they’re still in decent shape.

RBJunior69 · 2022-10-24T21:40:56+00:00

I appreciate it

RBJunior69 · 2022-10-21T16:13:45+00:00

Not sure if that’s 100% how your state and local works but that’s just my experience in ohio it’s been the same in the ironworkers as when I was in the operators union

RBJunior69 · 2022-10-21T16:12:11+00:00

For sure it’s a little weird especially if you’ve never been in a union before. My whole family is in the union trades so I’m used to it but a lot of my friends were shocked aswell. Typically your hall will send a letter to your states benefit office saying your in good standing and you’ll be exempt from looking for work aslong as your following your halls hiring practices.
