The teaser opens with Anthony dropping a small revelation about F-theta lenses: the number printed on the lens is a theoretical value, and in real life your focal height is often wildly different. That sparks a full discussion about what F-values actually mean and why autofocus often lands nowhere near the measurement stamped on the glass. From there the guys jump into a huge pile of new blanks from Johnson Plastics Plus, the upcoming “Bamboo Ultimate Guide,” and whether fire is guaranteed when defocusing a fiber onto butcher-block boards. There’s coaching talk, golf clubs, saw blades that refuse to black-mark, and the surprise win of a memorial stone that engraved bright blue using the UV. They wrap with listener Q&A, shop updates, filming tips, and a look at Bronson’s clean new engraving website.
