As many of you may know, a few months back Dave Harrison had made the decision to part ways with FBM to pursue some of his other personal goals. With that happening, FBM’s machine shop had to go through some big changes. “Big” Dave was more than just a welder – he helped build the machine shop from the ground up and was the face of the machine shop for many years. This isn’t an easy spot to fill, but FBM knew just who to go with. So we wanted to check in on things and find out more about the man running the welding show these days, Joby Springsteen. Let’s find out a little bit more about Joby, his job and how the transition has been going…

“Our Southern Ohio cats doing great things right before the Midwest winter takes grasp of Ohio. Troy Tunney and Kyle Murway are going to have amazing full parts in the newest volume of ALYK.; No Days Off.

Don’t get it twisted though, this web video idea won’t be a regular occurrence for the crew, as well as the use of an HD camera. It was just a glitch in the matrix. Expect a trailer for the newest release from ALYK. early 2012.”
