Hey all!
My name is Peter and I live in NSW, Australia. I have been pouring through this forum the last few days to get a general idea about lasers, how they work, and exactly what type of laser I will be wanting. I've had an interest in lasers all my life, and it has been one of many things on my mental list of awesome things to try out/do.
Just to give you an idea, past projects have been things like:
Those are just some things off the top of my head from the past year or two. I generally get up to these things during the holidays to keep me occupied, and seeing as the Christmas holidays are coming up here I am
The community here seems absolutely incredible from what I've seen so far, so I'm excited to get involved! I also have a few specific-ish questions that I would like to ask but I'm assuming that it wouldn't be appreciated if I asked them here (seeing as this is the welcome board.)
But yeah! That's a brief summary of me and I'm keen to get my first laser build in action :san:
:lasergun:
Sorry... I just had to, that emoticon is too awesome xD

- Modding nerf guns (when I was much younger, this is what started the whole 'home projects' obsession that I have now)
- Building a PC
- Building a cannon (that shoots anything of a certain diameter)
- Cutting wine bottles into cool drinking glasses
- Making gunpowder
- Making coloured fire (green, purple, blue, you name it)
- 3D modelling and animation in a few well known programs
- Devising a 'safe' way of lighting your hands on fire
