Hi all, I am a 66 year old fella just getting into cnc, laser and 3d printing. As I saw this was a blue laser forum I thought I would join it. Look forward to gathering lots of helpful info

Welcome! I bought a 2W 405, but still have to mount it to my printer. It's only been maybe 2 years? haha By the way, don't trust the goggles that come with any of them, buy some from a well known company

Welcome to the LPF. Glad to have another soul in my age group here.

Damn Paul, I thought you were a youngster in your 50’s

 

[paul1598419]

I always thought the same about you too.

When a 20 some year old in the Air Force I support in my job says something to me about being so much older than them (actually calling me an old ma) I tell them I'm not old, you are just young.

 

[paul1598419]

Yeah, I have a granddaughter now.

 

[Alaskan]

Old man for sure..... I have 5 grandchildren

 

[paul1598419]

Well, I got a late start and so did my daughter. She was quite old for child bearing when my granddaughter was born. Didn't have kids with my first wife and was 4+ years into my second marriage when my daughter was born.

I had my first at the age of 25.

I did manage to video tape the delivery at the only hospital in Portland, OR that allowed that and only with OB Gyn permission. Used the first video camera that used a CCD instead of a vidicon tube.

Wow, I'm only pushing 60 now. This makes make feel like I'm the kid in the room

But on that note, something only the older ones remember: "Its 10pm do you know where your children are?"

 

[Alaskan]

Welcome to LPF!

Yep, remember that one, pushing into 63 this fall.
