My first laser build

[larryk]

Hello everyone, I just completed my first laser build today. I bought a 245mw Red Module from member daguin, and for the host I used an old LED flashlight with a side switch I had laying around. A good friend of mine made the heatsink on his lathe for me. I have the laser set up where you need only to rotate the head of the flashlight to adjust the laser.
Here are a few photos of the build.
The photo with the laser turned on is over emphasized quite a bit.
I'm not very good with a camera.

Very nice. Looks very clean.

Awesome set up mate. Nice touch being able to just rotate the head for focusing

Awesome first build, I can say my first build didn't look nearly that nice!

Thank you all for the compliments. I've been modifying flashlights over on CPF for quite some time, so it was not that big of a jump for me to put this together.
