Marking leather can create some incredible results—but let’s be real, it stinks. If you're wondering how to deal with your leather ash... well... this is the episode for you? Anthony dishes out some leather knowledge and it's stuff I honestly didn't know. Also tune in for a 5w to 10w UV laser comparison, ionized stainless, and a lesson from Matt on cleaning up vectors! Kyle’s been busy developing new digital files for engravable designs, and we touch on some good machines for engraving on the go. Also, ever struggled with editing a stubborn PDF for your laser projects? We’ve got tips for fixing those headaches fast. Join us for Q&A, team updates, and the usual mix of laser wisdom and chaos!
