Pman said:I'll post some new builds this afternoon

Oooo, can't wait Pman
I think most people know that Pman Loooves his Green lasers, doesn't sell them and rarely if ever parts with them. So I am deeply honored to have 3 in my collection (and that's were they're stayin') He is building constantly and I don't think he gets enough credit for being so Amazing. The expensive showcase pieces seem to get a lot of attention (and I do love them) but there is a lot to be said for pure craftsmanship and a job well done :beer: I think this thread really exemplifies that.
Here is a Gordon host running off two AAA's. All three have Fasttech green laser diodes in them, this one is rated at 33mw...
It has a momentary button on the side and is surprisingly heavy in the hand.
Then we have some absolutely amazing lasers. I'm really blown away by these two for different reasons...
The MXDL host on the left is my EDC laser now, it is so small and elegant. It's runs off of 1 10440 and puts out 56mw. I really wasn't prepared for how visible these beams are and I understand the fascination with the wavelength now. Very visible in the dark and never fails to impress
The Black & Decker host however is something else. If you'll notice the yellow sticker. This is Pman's classification method for lasers over 100mw's. Yep, this is a freak diode putting out a whopping 103mw's! It runs off a single 14500 and It's a totally unique host, feels great in the hand and has quite a bit of flair with Pman's accents.
These were all relatively inexpensive builds, but seriously give some of the more expensive lasers a run for their money.
This doesn't have to be a hobby that breaks the bank. I think that's part of the reason Pman started this thread. There are challenges galore, trust me and there is nothing like the satisfaction of having your build start Lasing. It's also nice that you can build a lot if that's what you enjoy
So once again Pman, Thank you, I'm so honored :beer: and will be posting more inexpensive builds. I have a few in the pipeline
Happy Lasing All!
