even modern day iron workers are old school. Find a bar stool next to one at a dive bar and you won't be able to leave after one drink. The stories are too amazing and compelling.

didn't know that..

there is a coffeetable book that has photos of this era where ironworkers were photographed working on the skyscrapers across our great country.

I lost the bookmark and can't find the name of the book.:facepalm:

Story on the pic that Old School Posted..................


lewis_hine_phot_nyc_empire_state__2.jpg



A famous photograph by Lewis Hine. It shows construction-workers on their lunch-break in the early 1930s. Note the lack of any safety-equipment. This photo isn?t staged and it hasn?t been retouched. The building they?re constructing is the Crysler Building, the building of which, Hines was commissioned to document with his camera

There's a mohawk tribe that gets a lot of the NYC work. Saw a special a few weeks back about the new World Trade Center tower and 1/2 the iron workers crew was from that tribe.

It's the guys sitting next to you that you have to worry about. That natural instinct when you fall is to reach out and grab the closest thing to you. Can you imagine that conversation on the way down if your buddy pulled you to your death? Motherfuckerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
