Greetings all!
A newbie here, and wanted to introduce myself. I'm from WA state, near the Seattle area. I'm familiar with electronics, and have always been fascinated with lasers, but never really did anything with that fascination until now. I've ordered 6 lasers from various sources (mainly ebay) and have started getting them in. They are a lot of fun, and I'm learning a lot. I also have two sets of safety glasses. One for green, and one for red.
My next step will be to do a semi DYI. I'd like to start with a kit. Get something that will burn. And for less than $100 (probably impossible, but who knows).
I'm really thinking of the L2P for a host. No idea about wavelength. Maybe 1000mW range?
Anyway, I've devoured this site, trying to learn all I can. There are some great threads! Although it seems like a lot of them are quite old.
Hope to learn a lot more, and start building my own!
