I am on my way to mentor a fabulous talented sweet artist at 5 this evening with her
peices and will receive anyone as they are with their lasering skills from 6pm till at
least 10pm as needed by the community. A few other people might show up. Im flexible to
mentor any project on plain thin 1/8 in birchwood, up to 1/4 in mdf, cardboard and
sometimes 1/4 in plywood or 1/4 in acrylic(maybe thicker sometime but its too stinky!)
If you are new or recently back to lasering please do read the wall of text about the
needs for care and safety and preparation and materials selection that I posted in volume
111 issue 17.
Feel free to join the view at
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles,
<https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles> though it will be loud much of the
time. I can evaluate a good time to give a quiet overall intro, possibly at 6pm or
whenever people new to lasering show up. Feel feel free to alert us on turtles that you
are at the front door or ring the bell or message one of us if you have out num already.
If you join the vid chat to get in the door we will see you in less than a minute and
answer the door in one more.
About the fume extractor, we have a fan ventilation system, but someone was kind enough to
widen the angle that it gets to the roof and now it seems almost 50% as stinky as before.
We need help with an engineering problem of proper width and second fan specs. I thought
I could get to NB to ask the geeks there but its no longer as easy to get to. David gave
me a bunch of specs that yeah I cant remember. I am better at communicating these things,
can someone with an engineering or physics background step in to help us?
