Отлично! Excellent work! Happy to see Mother Russia represented on the laser DIY map.:)

BTW, just something about the look of that heatsink makes me think it will come to life and run away.:) I love it though!

Great build, and your English is fine.

Really impressive home-made driver.

I love the look of it too, very industrial.
 
I like that beastly heatsink on the end. Looks like you will have NO worries about duty cycle :)
 
Very nicely made :) And very nice driver indeed :)

Was it hard to get a130 in Russia?

Vsego horoshego.
 
If spiderman's laser had a heatsink, it would look like that ^_^
Great job on the build bro. Very unique.
