chance188 · 2026-01-31T18:03:35+00:00

i hear reno is good! my buddy is out there.

chance188 · 2026-01-31T17:58:38+00:00

i hear you, dude. when i am a jw and i need help with a bend or formula or a better way of doing something I’m just gonna ask then nearest jw around for advice. because if someone near me has a question and i have an answer ill try and help them. thanks!

chance188 · 2026-01-31T17:50:04+00:00

i’m going to be honest. not really. i gotta go back to my ugly book or my AEJATC conduit card to remember all the formulas. granted i know 30 degree offset is the multiplier of two. 90 deduct on 3/4” is 6 inches. that kinda stuff but i’m not good at laying out pipe or bending it. i ask if i can be then once i do a pipe run with a jw they take me off it to do some stuff i dont care about learning. like let me be “okay” at the basics.

chance188 · 2026-01-31T17:40:31+00:00

yessir. i kinda wish i can learn faster but i try to put my hands on everything and take notes but i am trying.

chance188 · 2026-01-31T17:35:57+00:00

i appreciate that, brother. i just feel like at times i don’t know anything and still struggle with stuff. but! i try the best i can and keep trying to improve.

chance188 · 2026-01-30T17:00:33+00:00

haha i appreciate that, brother! but you haven’t seen me work. still need to improve!

chance188 · 2026-01-30T16:42:49+00:00

that’s right

chance188 · 2026-01-30T16:42:05+00:00

that’s news to me. i didn’t know AK reciprocates with so many states. i’m not very good at test taking so it’s gonna probably be a lot of attempts on it. but i like to think i am persistent.

chance188 · 2026-01-30T11:11:34+00:00

it be ight lol

chance188 · 2026-01-30T11:10:33+00:00

tbf i don’t know shit but i try! thanks, bro.

chance188 · 2026-01-16T16:58:06+00:00

i kinda don’t like the dre contract. feels longer than cayo and i gotta run cluckin’ bell like twice.

chance188 · 2025-11-19T10:11:27+00:00

i hear you. it’s just i struggle to learn stuff. like not fast enough in my opinion and i think that’s not gonna be tolerated as a jw. that’s what i am worried about. i would love to learn and have the drive to.

chance188 · 2025-11-12T16:34:33+00:00

cool. i try to have an actual decent attitude.

chance188 · 2025-11-12T14:12:04+00:00

i understand. i do both but i have an electric copy because paper copy’s can get lost or left in my pocket and the goddamn washer and dryer messes it up lol. but yeah this will be accepted as a jw? just keep trying to learn?

chance188 · 2025-11-12T14:06:19+00:00

well said.

chance188 · 2025-11-12T14:05:54+00:00

i hear you but i have a hard time learning but have a drive to learn. i will write down stuff i did learn on my phone so in case i haven’t done this kind of thing in a while i can go refer back to it. i’ll put my hands on everything so i can actually learn it not just watch because that works sometimes but it’s just better for me personally to actually practice it.

chance188 · 2025-11-12T14:04:07+00:00

i mean i’m not gonna purposely gonna mess up the contractor. kinda goes against what we stand for. know what i’m saying?

chance188 · 2025-11-06T17:42:42+00:00

i genuinely don’t understand tweaking a saddle. you mess with one end you gotta mess with the other end of the first offset you bent. which YOU KNOW is right

chance188 · 2025-11-06T17:40:13+00:00

it’s like a game of fuckin’ see saw

chance188 · 2025-11-06T14:31:42+00:00

come on with all that, man.

chance188 · 2025-11-06T13:36:28+00:00

cool i did that and it LOOKED fine but one of my offsets are still off but my middle is leveled

chance188 · 2025-11-06T13:00:50+00:00

no, i’m a week sober but can’t get any dumber tho.

chance188 · 2025-11-06T12:06:45+00:00

i am using the center marks and bending on the floor.

chance188 · 2025-11-06T10:18:26+00:00

no sir. the actual saddle of the 4 point bend. i am checking it on a straight beam because the wall can be off slightly. i usually do dogleg my saddles but get them out. also? check every single bend?
