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, 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?
