Hello!
My name is Ryan, and I have been interested in lasers for quite a while now. My dad has a green 35mw laser he got from a friend, and both of us are interested in getting more. I have been lurking around this site for a while now, and just decided on making an account. We have been looking at buying or building a laser, and any advice would be appreciated. Because I live in the USA, would it be easier to build one rather then trying to sneak one past customs? Thanks in advance! I can't wait to learn more about lasers and become a well known member of this forum!

Hey ryan,
Welcome to the forum, first advise would be to take your time and read through the stickies since they will help you understand the laser world better. Most answers are out there it's just a matter of searching.

Good luck,

Hello Ryan, Welcome. Even with the import restrictions nearly all lasers still get past customs but I imagine that will change over time. You can buy from someone in the US and not worry about that and you can always just buy the parts and build your own. Just do lots of reading here and you can learn how.
