There is a tutorial for the optics assembly here

There is a tutorial on making a spiro projector here
http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1186862602

If you follow both of those and amalgamate the results in a project box you will have a very desirable laser.

There is little point in me detailing the host body as, I would guess, very few laser builders have the following workshop equipment available to them.
Lathe
Pillar drill
Vertical mill
power hacksaw

All of which were heavily used in the build.

Wait, you have to get 20.000 views in the US and be over 4 stars? I thought it was 3 stars......Metacafe is getting cheap :-/

I would imagine that you need more time and patience rather than money


I don't think anyone has given you less than 5 stars rog, it's just that metacafe counts non rating visitors as a 0 or something :-/

I am not sure how it works...other than when I rated a video, for the first time, I did a stupid thing and just clicked randomly on the stars thinking it would open a dialogue box....it didn't I clicked on the 1 star and that is what I rated the video at
