Hi LPFers, I think after signing up for this wonderful forum some days ago its time to introduce myself.
I am reading this forum (beside CPF and others) since about 1 year and learned a lot about lasers. Thank you guys! Your shared practical experience is priceless!
More about me: Even if I started early with lasers (about 1989 I bought in an electronic store two chassis of the famous "Laser Disc Players" to harvest the HeNe-Tubes and the galvos, I consider myself still as beginner; there are too many new inventions which I completely missed.
Later I neglected the hobby because at that time I was the only laserist in the whole area, so hard to get info and parts. And if there was something to get, it was a hell of expensive, and I had no houses or flats to sell... Other hobbies took my time: electronics, computers, collecting records.
Later I bought some "1mW red laserpointers", but they weren´t the fun.
When some years ago the green laser pointers came out, I bought a "100mW green laserpointer" from eBay for about 60 Dollars.
So one came to the next, I got used to buy 18650s and things at DX. Now I arrived in a world of sometimes buying higher priced things at eBay and pointers at O-Like. So the life changes.
About selfbuilding: I have a metal-education and a well feeling for the mechanical properties of metals, but I don´t own any machines and most of my tools I left in my parents home. I feel I don´t have the willing to do this step now but prefer to buy something allready finished. But that can change...
Most probably I forgot things of interest here in my first introduction, and most probably I made mistakes here, even more probably I will do further mistakes. But I am willing to learn, so just tell me or ask me.
Have a nice day!
