Are you effing kidding me!?!? You can't say: "*****ter"? OMFG! *****ter, *****ter and *****ter! "When I was a little kid, living on the streets with my umemployed, alcoholic, abusive faster-father-in-law, we used to go hungry if we didn't score any food from *****TER DIVING!!!" :D

Hello all. I'm Philip (as you have probably noticed by my screen name). :huh: I am very new to the laser world. I've always been kind of intrigued by lasers, but never really looked into learning anything about them until now. Also, this is the first forum I've ever signed up for and actually...

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble So, I don't understand how there aren't more tickets/donations yet. Greenlander, you keeping the count updated? Is something like this usually a slow process (or is this just a new process)? :huh:

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm On the note of all this soldering: I'm going to have to buy a soldering iron (as I have never needed one before, so I never got around to buying one). Could I just walk into Radio Shack and ask them to "gimme what they got"? Or, what do you guys recommend...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I like the sound of that... :beer:

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Thanks for the explinations guys. I'm going to be looking for a kit very soon now. I just hope that when I get home and the kit comes in, I'll have the paitence to stop and post a question/wait for a reply before getting antsy and messing it all up. I'm only...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I was not aware of the legality of >5mw battery powered units. Now, I'm cringing about the $315 I just slapped down on that JetLaser from China! :shhh:

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Sounds like my first time... :eg: Honestly, though, I like the sound of that! I just have that gut feeling like I KNOW I'm going to eff something up my first time, you know? That fear of doing something for the first time...?

I haven't built my own laser yet. (I'm pretty new here.) However, remember when there were only little red laser pointers at the store and they were something like $10? Then, suddenly, there was talk about there being green lasers? (I'm refering to my own experience as this was all way before I...

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble Ok, that sounds way more reasonable. Thanks for that. For some reason, I had a way larger cost drawn up in my head for shipping. I'll cease my protests! ;)

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm Thanks for the detailed explinations. I suppose going with a less expensive/less powerful kit would probably be the wise thing to do. Also, if/when I accadentally turn it on while tinkering with it, I don't have to worry about boiling an eyeball or...

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I just took a look at your stainless build (the last one on your list of white links). I'd have to say that looks completely doable! I'd assume a veteran laser pro could probably slap that together in half an hour...? (Whatever the time, I'm sure it'll be...

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble I donated $100 (because you asked how much) I'm assuming you already knew that since you decided to give me four tickets. I would like to reiterate my thoughts on shipping: I stand firm that the winners should pay shipping (although I can see how it could...

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble Awesome! Thanks, man. Maybe if I keep posting this evening, I'll meet the fifty and you can re-up the quota... :D Also, I vote for the winners paying shipping. Reasoning: We're giving the money as a donation. So, if we win, we're basically getting a free...

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble (I would've just bought some tickets instead, but I'm not even halfway to meeting the comment number quota.) :banned:

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble I just followed the "fund me" link and threw some money at it. Sorry to hear about the hard times.

Re: Fellow LPF Member in trouble How many tickets are you selling (to give people info on their odds of winning)?

I think people would be hard pressed to make a more sleek, clean looking laser with such a beautiful beam. Great job and great taste!

Re: Portable Lasers: 456nm vs. 463nm I ALREADY want all three! lol I've been lurking around the laser host threads looking for future host ideas. Could you guys tell me, how hard IS IT to turn a host and parts into a functional laser? The more I think about the idea of putting one together...

Why don't you try taking up a collection, or ask people for an advance? I'm very new to the forums, but after looking at these two builds and reading your all's comments, I'd be willing to chip in a bit... I've scoured the internets trying to find lightsaberish looking hosts and you have nailed...
