Bert,
Move to Seattle! We have a bunch of Maker Spaces here with much better hours! A pleasant climate here too! Except when it is not of course.
Seriously.....you said NH, as in New Hampshire? I was thinking you were in AZ or elsewhere in the Desert Southwest?
Can Ray or Carole at Rabbit suggest someone in your area with a laser who might be open to some visits?
Either that or make a special post here asking for folks in your area?
I would be happy to help, but at this point all I can do is help you turn wood. That is almost, but not quite entirely unlike working with a laser! (apologies to Douglas Adams)

900x600 80watt EFR Tube laser from Liaocheng Ray Fine Tech LTD. Also a 900x600 2.5kw spindle CNC from Ray Fine. And my main tool, a well used and loved Jet 1642 Woodlathe with an outboard toolrest that helps me work from 36 inch diameters down to reallllllly tiny stuff.
Dave thought we had my location all figured out LOL yes I'm in New Hampshire for the summer headed back to Arizona in Sept. Will stop in Ohio and pick up laser LOL then I'm going to the nearest lake and try it out.
Thanks Dee I hope its more fun then what I got nowwe won't go there. Did I ever mention it died again about 2 weeks before I was leaving for New Hampshire. I just said ---it and left it there.
I sure hope I have better luck and support with the rabbit. altho I am starting to wonder just a little as I asked a couple ?'s about a week ago and still haven't heard back. Well last time I asked it took a week or so for them to get back. We'll see what happens.

Bert!
Nice!! NH in summer and AZ the rest of the year? I think you are starting to get a nice pattern going. And now I understand the Ohio laser pickup better. Initially I was thinking "Wow. S&H to AZ must be wicked expensive to justify a round trip drive? Wonder if he had looked into priority mail?" <grin>
You might check with Carole about contacts. I know depending on their travels and work there are contact methods that get through faster than others. I have always used the slow boat method, but I was not in any rush.
September will be here before you know it. Remember, if you forget and take the laser out in the lake....put it in a zip lock after with a bunch of dry rice. That will dry it out for you.. . <grin>

Well I'm dying here guys , no laser all summer as I've been in beautiful cool New Hampshireand I should be on my way to Ohio to see Ray and Carol and pick up my new Laser but due to situations beyond my control I have to wait another few weeks before I can leave Seems Ray has a show to do this week and when that's done they leave on Vacation for a week or two and then he has an Install in CA so Its going to be Oct 1 before i can go get it. What am I going to do to till then I'm running out of things to do here on my GF 's house, I've rebuilt the deck, painted it, made a new shelve in the back room and one in the front bedroom, put in two new kitchen light fixtures and wired in a new micro wave, and I filled in a bunch of low spots in the yard, lawn mowers much happier. I've put 7K on the bike since I been here and ate about a 1000lbs of seafood. I've read just about every thing there is to read here on SMC and the NAA mini forum.
So whats a guy to do for the next 4 weeks???
