Hey Guys!

I just Joined a few weeks back and i've learned ALOT about lasers by just looking at all the threads in this forum!

I've been looking into building my first laser and need advice. I've looked up tutorials and countless build videos but i need help with tools to buy and the right diver, lens, heatsink, diode, ext. I'm trying to build close to a 1w blue laser. From what I've read they are pretty cheap (Compared to other wavelengths) to build. I can spend up to 150. I will buy all the stuff but will need to construct a red laser first so I don't screw up and waste 150 bucks. So If you can help and post a couple of links that would be awesome :)!
