Hello everyone!

Here you have pictures of my first green laser mounted by hand.

The module is DealExtreme 20mw. The brass tube and front and rear parts are the engines of some hard drives. Everything is worn with a hand drill and sandpaper.

The button is titanium metal. I have several rods 5 and 6 mm at home. With these buttons do trims.

For the gluing of the pieces I have used epoxy glue

Forgive for my bad English;)

Welcome to the forum. :beer:
Great first build!
Wondering: where did you get the key-switch from?

I think people were talking about steampunk hosts recently... This is pretty close to that, really; with the copper and bolts and all. Really like that.

Very nice build!
Great to see some more handmade builds coming around. It's always fun to see what people come up with around their house to make a good laser.:beer:
