Worked as a Derrick man for Franklin mountain 9 years. Remember being trained and I was still a weed smoker at the time, and the guy training me used to be too he told me. 2nd day there, I asked what happens if you miss the claws? His reply- “don’t”. And from that day since, I’ve been clean and sober only thing I do is my coffee in the mornin

The Derrick man's understanding of leverage. An art form. Respect.

In 1979 at 18 I was derrickhand on a state of the art flagship diesel electric, drilling so deep it took us a tour and a half to come out of the hole. We had 15" collars on bottom, and it was 12 straight hours of tripping pipe, it made a man out of me like nothing else could. When the rack was full it was incredible site to see. Supposedly the deepest well in the Tuscaloosa Trend at the time. I kept all of my fingers and toes too, a rarity amongst roughnecks that've been at it longer than a year or two. God bless the roughneck, it takes a special kind of nut to do that job. I watched many a young mommy's boy drag up and leave us hanging because it got too tough, and so I've worked a few 2-person floors because of it. It'll either make you or break you. But if you can truly roughneck, from roustabout to Driller, there's really not a lot you can't do.

Got to respect these guys. Got a feeling that when something goes wrong. It's pretty bad.
@Steven-ud8kz
There are so many ways this guy doesn't go home with all his body parts.
@L3GHO5T
Thank god for these guy man serious. They literally make our world turn.
@josephrasberry3850
He is pushing blocks back so they don’t hit his legs and break them or knock him off tubing board it also helps them move toward him when he is latching pipe in elevators
@JayQue82
Respect. Very dangerous work.
@SgtSyphilis69
This honestly looks like a fun job. Definitely keep you on your toes.
@KirkJohnson-lo3yz
That was a shortie, I'd lached many a them...❤❤❤ the only job I've ever missed. To old now, darn that was some of my best years. The best is when you can do this from empty location assemble the thing,, help it do it's thing,, (turning to the right) and move it when your done. Go with it and do it again.❤🎉❤ Good one lil'brother....
@johnward8436

@darlenechadwick375
😮 First clue this job isn’t for the feint of heart, HE HAS A SAFETY ROPE AROUND HIM!!! WOW! Just WOW!!! Much RESECT SIR!!! You’re The Boss!!!
@RedHeadForester
Dude, the way he flexes that pipe to get it resonating so he can cleanly slam it into that mechanism is awesome! Love those little things that you just have to know how to get right every time to do a job well.
@chazlabreck
I'm admiring the genious of deflecting the pipe off the pully rigging so it springs back into the holder.. mad respect for these guys strength and smarts and fearlessness.
@1JOE1channel
This is exactly how a toddler would design this job 😂
