I am trying to make my first laser for just some fun around the house. It is going to be a torch laser. It is taking me some time to sort through this mass amount of threads but it is also really fun. I'm thinking it needs to be 405nm or 445nm violet laser and I would like it to be at least 400mw. Other than this I'm not really sure where to go. I'm sure some of you more experienced laser enthusiasts know immediately what and where I can find these parts. If you guys could fill in the blanks on which to buy of diodes, drivers, battery's housings, lens, a good place to buy all these things, some instruction or even at the very least some links to the proper threds, I would be forever in your debt.
