Roughneck in Training

A Rig out in central Utah. This is a short video of a connection we made, this was both the Chain Hands (Timmy) and The Worms (Me) second hitch ever in the Oil Field. Motor Hand (Sherwood) was keeping a close eye and a sharp tongue and doing what he could to make a RoughNeck outa us. (Swabby) at the controls. Great Experience.....

Derrickman needs more training over mouse hoe! Walking chain up prior to stabbing the pipe? Oilfiel sure has slowed down since real men worked it!

Not a bad time for a connection, but WTF was that chain wrap on the last part of the connection. Thats not the way I did it back in the 90,s out around Abilene Texas area. But other wise not bad.
