I personally do not need a prescription, but I know a lot of you who have followed me on YouTube over the years have asked about these Tom Waters glasses and if they are prescription and where to get them.

I wear the smallest size which is a 44. And the regular rim pipeliner. I recommend getting the size that fits your head best but I do know for sure that the 44 will fit under a pancake.

Here is a link to the Tom Waters website where you can order a set.

2026 Local 798 Steward School

I feel extremely grateful to be a part of this Local 798 COMMUNITY. I’m grateful for all my pipeline friends and family. Union, non union, laborers, truck drivers, mechanics, superintendents, office/admin personnel, inspectors, operators, Welders, surveyors and yes, even you engineers and x-ray techs! I am grateful for you too! And whoever else I may not have mentioned that is out here traveling doing the work and creating a better life for yourself and your family and your own community!


Because of this pipeline lifestyle and its/our COMMUNITY I feel at home no matter where I am in the country.

Because of COMMUNITY in general, I feel at home no matter where I am in the world.

I do not know where I would be today without the A Ross Welding YouTube community, the Instagram community, the Facebook community, the Snapchat community, the TikTok community, the Welding community, you reading this post right now community, the in person communities, every single person I’ve met online or in person communities! YOU!

I do not know where I would be without you! You are the community! We are the community!

We just finished up 2026 Steward school last week. I had an awesome time visiting with everyone there and I’m excited about the changes that are happening and that are coming and for all the work that is up ahead!
Wishing every one of you nothing but the best to come!

I’m feeling grateful for you and I just wanted to let you know! #arosswelding #local798 #pipelinewelder #community

I had a blast in New Mexico! The meet and greet went off without a hitch! My buddy Leo hooked me up with the Martinez family and their sandwich shop, the “R” Place in Belen, NM What an incredible opportunity to have met such a great family! I can’t thank you all enough for providing a space for the A Ross Welding community to gather, learn and get to know one another! Next stop is Oregon!

I feel extremely grateful to be doing what I’m doing. Traveling the United States, the world soon, sharing my experience with others, not only one on one, but with the school visits.

And not only my Welding experience. I love being able to share stories of my past and what I’ve learned from it. I’m still constantly learning today.

I am even more grateful that two really good buddies of mine Leo and Adam were able to make it to the school visit with me. I believe others can learn from my perspective, but the more perspectives the better. The more stories, the better.

Life is all about experiences. I believe we are in this human experience to experience as many things as we can so we can learn from those experiences.

But also to just enjoy life and live it to the fullest. And that is what I am doing. Thank you Albuquerque job corpse, Michael, the other two instructors and Ashley for having us there at the school! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m wishing these students and everyone reading this post nothing but the best in your own life journey!


Remember,
Learn Somethin’ Everyday!

I’m enjoying my time here in New Mexico with my good friend Leo. As you can see, we are enjoying eatin breakfast at several lil local cafes in the area!

Breakfast and a cup of Jo is one of my favorite things (and Leo’s) to do no matter where I’m at in the world. It’s even better with a good friend. Community is what it’s all about.

We are looking forward to meeting you and your friends and family this weekend here in Belen, NM and also sharing our combined pipeline experience with you!

If you plan on attending the meet & greet please text “ABQ” to 405-643-7176 this will let us know how much food to prepare! Thank you!!!

Huge thanks to Richard and his family for providing us a place to meet up!!!

Lastly, if you are interested in a 1 on 1 welding session while I am in your area text “1 on 1” to 405-643-7176

Lastly, Lastly, 😂 I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about the new info coming to our website arosswelding.com

We are in the process of creating an events page to show where I will be in the world, for what event, and for how long i will be there! This way you can schedule one of the offerings with me while I am in your area!

When the website is ready it will also show all the info about all of our offerings that will be available through this new venture, your Mobile Pipe Welding Instructor!

We will be offering 1 on 1 Coffee Talks, 1 on 1 pipe welding sessions, branch workshops, and a 5 day pipe welding intensive to gear you up for your next pipeline welding opportunity!!! I’m super excited about this new A Ross Welding venture!!

Another fantastic meet and greet in the books.

One of my favorite things about meet and greets is the connections that are made.

It is an absolute pleasure of mine to be able to bring people together. When we come together as a community we grow.

We grow out of our comfort zone just by having the confidence to show up and introduce ourselves to somebody new.

We grow our business by meeting a potential customer or a potential business partner or another business owner that has just the business we need to add more value to our customers.

Most importantly we grow our soul from connecting and helping one another through sharing our own stories.

It is one of the most soul fulfilling things to me personally. It’s the kind of connection you can only get in person.

I am feeling extremely grateful to be in this beautiful season of life. I am grateful for my 20 years of stick Welding experience. I am grateful for my welding truck. I am grateful for the trailer I live in. I am grateful for my Pipeline experience. I am grateful for every single one of you that are in my life and that are a part of this A. Ross Welding community. I am grateful that I get to travel the world meeting you and sharing my experience with you. I am grateful for the hardship in my life and the people around me who have guided me and been a good influence on me and who have taught me that I have the choice to use the hardship as an opportunity to learn and grow.

The world really is a beautiful and magical place. I just have to be mindful of what I’m focusing on.
