I'm starting to get the hang of this

So here's my third laser. They seem to keep getting better every time I make one I was actually able to make a step on my heatsink even though I did it by hand. Thanks Jayrob for finding such a nice host for greens. Sorry if I bypassed you and made my own. :shhh: +rep

Cam, I really want to know how long it took you to grind that heat sink down, and what did it start as?

 

[Cam453]

It started as 1" aluminum extruded rod and took 4 hours with quite a few breaks in between so it could have been way shorter.

Great. I bet this build feel even better that you made the heatsink on your own. With just your hands.

Pretty good for just using hand tools.

Thanks yup it feels pretty good to just use a drill, hacksaw, hand file, and some sand paper

Almost like when i am polishing. Takes forever to do but when its done it feels good. Although iam using a Polishing wheel it still takes hours to complete. I could just put it in a tumbler but there is no fun in that.
