Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself as I'm a noob to LPF, and the laser hobby in general. I'm a 30 year old graphic designer from San Diego and am currently experiencing "laser fever" :drool:. I guess you could call me one of those guys who knows a little bit about a lot of stuff and have enjoyed my hand at amateur astronomy, astro photography, competitive scale auto building, growing Trinidad Scorpion peppers, building custom brass tattoo machines, leather craft / leather tooling, and a myriad of other hobbies :beer:
Anyways, I've always found lasers interesting, but it wasn't until recently that I discovered you can actually purchase lasers over 5mw lol.
I believe it was while watching one of Kipkay's laser hack videos on Youtube that peaked my interest a bit more, and essentially, that's how I found LPF and began soaking up information on laser specs and such.
In the meantime, after researching different brands and options, I've ordered a WL S3 Arctic 1.4W (yes I know there's a ton of negative reviews on WL, but the continuous duty cycle appealed to me, and I figured it would be a decent starting point). I just placed the order on the 13th with expedited shipping, so hopefully I get it before Christmas! :san: (I'll post an update if it actually arrives within the 1-3 week period lol.)
So anyways, I just wanted to say hi and hopefully see you all in the forums!
