It can be done using thin glass tubes, see sam´s laser faq on "typical homemade argon laser"
However do do this you must have extensive glassworking skills and the right equipment not to mention vacuum and gas filling equipment.
My advice: build a N2 laser first, just to get into it. Then build an even better N2 laser that can run on different gasses, and then start at the difficult gas lasers. A ceramic bore also is possible, but I have no idea if this can be homemade. Just start out with glass and run it only seconds at a time.
I am sure that when we wanted to go to the moon people laughed and said like that won't happen.
I know,, just that one poster always has a negative spin on things. I know how they work and I don't have the patience or the desire to build my own from scratch. I know that it is a hard daunting task. but with enough fortitude effort and reading i feel it can be done. I have been laughed at wanting to rebuild my CR 15. but God wasn't going to drop a new or a rebuilt one for that matter out of the sky,, I can't affford Evergreed's prices for a tube, so I am in the same boat that the OP is, How can I do it. I was just telling the OP don't let negativity spoil your dreams.
