Steel, Sweat & Sprinklers In our very first episode of The Piping Cowboys, we kick things off raw and real — talking about life in the trades and the grit it takes to keep the jobsite running. Joined by our first guest, Travis, we dive into what it’s like working inside a steel mill, how it compares to running pipe out in the field, and the everyday grind of blue-collar life on the road. From long shifts to loud machines, this one’s for every tradesman who’s lived it, breathed it, and kept showing up.
