Hi everyone im new to the forums and also to lasers. Im 24 years old and leaving for basic training for the air force may 11th... ive just recently became very fascinated in lasers. Ive been reading for hours every night for the past week, and I finally decided to become a member of the forums :) I ordered a green cheapy laser off ebay one of the little pen ones, im sure is junk. While waiting i started taking apart an old dvd burner of mine, but while removing the diode i dropped it and the glass inside it broke :( so im starting over lol. Im very interested in making a laser or having someone help me make one, or buying the parts and having someone with a lot of experience help me. Ive seen several models I like a lot on the forums and ill probably message some of you more experienced people with some dumb questions, but bare with me, as I love lasers, and am very interested in becoming more educated about them :) thanks guys/girls,
Justin

Welcome to the forums! The best thing you can do to get started is reading the stickies we have here. Do a few searches and do a little research and before you know it you will be building lasers with the best of em. Good luck and dont forget you only get one set of eyeballs protect them ;)

Welcome to the forum.
As far as ordering in the US, I have ordered several and never had a problem.
Just ask the company you are buying it off of to ship the batteries and charger separately. This way customs can not test it's power. I live in Lakeland and it takes around 30 days to arrive.
Good luck!
