Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Laser Pointers | High Power Lasers

As the title says I'm new to laser pointers and I'd like to start making my own. I know this is no easy task so I was wondering if you guys new the most-beginner friendly guide that will teach me how to make my own burner? (Prefer green or red as I don't want to dish out too much money yet...) I bought one, and I know I can afford to buy a burner, but I would feel so much more accomplished if I were able to make my own, even if it is crappy.

Thanks in advance for any help.
