Hey everyone. So I have decided I am going to start converting my laser collection to gases and solid sterling builds (besides CNI builds, unfortunately). My first one is in my signature, the 445nm build I did. That one turned out great.

This one may very well have turned out better! It outputs around 75mW and has a huge run-time. I have StridAst to thank for this - he is the great artist who designed and made my previous host and this one as well!

So here are some pictures!


Host:

Showing the long-lasting nature of the laser. It's not very stable because the fan was on in the room in which I was doing the measurements. I assume it would be perfectly stable with no air flow!


Now for some pictures of the host itself!

The focus ring - has GREAT detail on it!

P1010385.JPG

A shot of the EMERALDS that he used in the host! It goes great with the forest green color of the beam, just as the sapphires did with the 445nm build!

P1010387.JPG

A view of the tailcap. Used the only green tailcap I had. I like it though!

P1010388.JPG

As the previous image, except focused on the back of the focusing ring. If you notice, you'll see that the word "PEOPLE" is written. This is just a single word in the line hand-engraved in the back of the focus ring. It reads: Warning: May turn some people green with envy. I didn't even ask for that, and he added it! Another shout-out to StridAst!

Beamshots:
These were taken in sunny Arizona daytime in a decently-lit room. No smoke!

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed this little laser!

You must have some $$$$ to spare, that is for sure. Honestly I would love to say that its a beautiful laser but can't, just not my style, but its a interesting build.

Birthday money :p I understand that it's not your style. I just like that it has intrinsic value outside of the laser hobby, in case I ever want to get out of it (I doubt it!).

This is beautiful! I love the intricate details and the leaf patterns. Time for me to drop him a line. An idea is forming in my head :)

Gotta say, this is not "your-typical-looking-laser-host"...
I personally prefer cleaner, less complicated design, but there's no doubt this particular style finds its place among many lpf.com members, not to mention skilful builders like you, Wolfman29:)

Diversity is always welcome, the more options to choose from, the better!

At one point in my laser-hobby-career-thing, I was interested in the sleekest, cleanest host. But then I saw StridAst's post selling one of his works of art and I had to have it. I had to have them all!

Thats an artist masterpiece IMO...

He is specialized in silver working?
He could make a steampunk themed laser... not silver but if he's into designing hosts... :whistle:

He's a jeweller, specializing in fantasy design. Shoot him a PM though and see what he can do!

Wow. Another amazing build. Not to mention insanely stable. Good job wolf, I hope it treats you well (and you treat it well also!). :D
