How to build a laser? Help please!

[S4XHost]

Hello,

I'm new to this world but I'm a technical enthusiast. I already own a few laser pointer and laser modules but now I fell in love with blue handheld lasers!
I checked many websites for buying a decent one (Dragonlasers, Fasttech ...) but in the end I decided to built my own one with this host: S4X? Host Assembly

The point is, I have no idea what I need to built a laser pointer, I heard of G-2 lenses and I know that I need a diode with a driver but that's it. Please help me to get started and provide me with a few suggestions or a step-by-step instruction :yh:
It's really hard to find something about the basics online. Thanks you for your help

Remember to get proper safety laser goggles for the wavelength of your laser if it is over 5mW.
Enjoy, have fun and most importantly be safe.
