Hello, after staying up really late the last few nights looking over many posts and reading ALOT Iam now signed up to further my curiosity and interest of lasers.

Iam a natural tinkerer and enthusiast of many things. Something about light and color has always been something I enjoy. I eventually want to build, or semi build a laser to my own, I think custom anything if possible is the way to go. Any who, I am looking forward to the topics and discussions here as well as learning which is just another benefit to the hobby.

I do not own any laser yet, mainly gathering info before I dig deeper lol.
