Ceramic repair

Hi guys and gals,
First post here. I'm a slowly learning welder who really enjoys and learns so much from Jody. I'm also a big fan of Bad Obsession Motorsport on You Tube. They recently posted this video, thought it was really cool!
Hello and enjoy,
Alan

Re: Howdy from Port Hadlock

The Ajax is due to reopen this summer. They got shut down due to issues with their septic system. Their neighbors The School of Wooden Boatbuilding have started a joint venture for a new septic on boat school property. We live a ten minute walk from there.
