## Summary

Jimmy Diresta, Bob Clagett, and David Picciuto discuss their current projects, including Diresta's rowboat and mini smokers, Picciuto's vacuum press veneering experiments, and Clagett's four-sided climbing wall. The conversation shifts to recent gear upgrades, with Diresta and Picciuto detailing their new Sony camera systems (A7S3 and FX3) and workflow changes, while also sharing humorous anecdotes about dead birds in freezers and taxidermy regulations.
