Well, I got the lenses in. The plastic toy gun is where I am going to "install" the laser. The gears are what I will be attaching to the outside of the gun. I will also be getting something called Thermal Exchange Valve, TXV for the alcohol bulb and tube, don't want the rest. Will be painting...

Thanks everyone. I am a machinist by trade. And have several semesters of Physics under my belt. I know and understand the importance of safety, and can never be reminded enough about that! I (and our twins who are 9) are excited to be this build. I have already built a solid state tesla coil...

I am going to try and build my first high powered laser! I am going to mount it in a modified plastic toy gun, and make it a "Death Ray" steampunk gun. This will be interesting. I am going to be using.... PHR-805T 405 120mW Diode PHR-805T laser diode 405nm 100-120mW [M0025] - $9.99 : Modwerx...
