For all of us new laser enthusiasts out there, and who are planning on fiddling with our very own lasers some day, what tools are recommended to get started and build/test our own lasers. I've kinda got a few ideas, like multimeters, laser power meters, soldering tools, vices of some sort. Was just wondering if there is anything else of great significants that is needed to create and learn about your very own lasers. What are some recommendations?
