Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Laser Pointers | High Power Lasers

Encap said i should make a thread here introducing myself so here we go. im 38 years old and live in iowa. ever since i was a kid i've liked crazy and dangerous science projects. i used to make homemade harpoon guns and flamethrowers as a kid. as an adult i'm not as much into stuff like that as i used to be but i havent entirely grown out of it. i used to enjoy the kit builds in "nuts and volts" magazine (if anyone is familiar.)

guess that's all i have to say. if anyone is worried about me blinding airline pilots with lasers and bringing attention to your hobby, dont worry - i wouldnt do anything like that. but if i can figure out how to build a superpowerful handheld laser that will cut a tree in half or something, i probably will
