Hello folks

[genius5th]

Long time lurker and first time posting. Just got into the world of lasers by accident. I'm a big knife guy and just happened that I traded a knife for a laser and got hooked. at first I thought it wasn't a good trade off but I was wrong. I was always used to dollar store lasers which suck ass but this one actually had some distance on it. Anyways, I know I have alot to learn so once I can input something that can contribute to the forums I will. I've already gotten to know a few of you guys and look forward to getting to know everyone and see what cool builds everyone is producing
thanks
jeff
