I just finished my first laser ;D i used kenom's tut for the dorcy mini. I can't believe how compact it is, i love the power for the small size. Right now I have one 10 ohm resistor that cuts the current to around 190ma. Easily lights matches: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz5AByAW0k8) in this vid, you can see that it took my about 10 sec to get the focus right and then it lit real quick.
I also uploaded some photos to my newly created flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43025149@N00/sets/72157602566634390/
Check back soon, i will probably post some more pics.
I had a lot of fun doing this, i think im hooked ;)

Very nice man. I love the compactness of the Dorcy mini. This looks excellent for your first project. Nice job. ;) Lasers are like lays potato chips. Once you make one, you will have to make more. ;D
