These lasers have turned out much better than I had anticipated, this is really great fun! Getting to build this one will be the most fun I've had yet building a laser.
oh I know Im off tomorrow and Im going to have some plexi glass cut for this and that swr power meter would be cool it could tell you of any inpending doom all my orher lasers are on the back burner... oh i also would like to put maybe a low power red laser in paralell for a site maybe on the side
that does make it a little easier to justify the cost I just noticed you are also a ham im a little slow tonight I miss the post where you asked me if I was a ham that does make three of us kb9vui
it is fun I build houses here in waterloo IL and I love having show and tell with these lasers my co workers think im nuts but I can light a match in a jar with out touching it lol, ;D
I went to the welding shop today and there was a guy there who told me about a web site showing how to make a laser from a DVD !!!! He said it could pop a balloon !!! OMG !!!
I pulled out a balloon and my DX95 and did it. He was pissed that I wouldn't let him "look" at my laser. I don't pass around lasers to the unenlightened and I told him so. He may build his own sometime.
