I just recently bought one of Blords Lasers (which had arrived well ahead of schedule), so I can and definitely will vouch for him. I often tend to send quite a decent number of people his way, since IMO his builds are well worth it. Plus, not just including myself there are innumerable users on here that will say the same, are fairly quick to recommend him, and hold him in pretty high regards. He does very good quality work, has excellent service, and an unheard of reputation, since he takes an enormous amount of pride in his work and will go way above and beyond to do what is necessary while firmly standing behind all of his products. So, I'd say yeah definitely try to hit him up see how long his waiting list is, what it's going to run you, and if he even has the parts available to make it happen. (Since as of late [from what I've been noticing at least, he has been specializing in a lot more high powered creations] unless it's a special order, and he's always seems to be getting a lot of new business rolling in almost daily) Also Blord offers safety goggles, and other options//accessories with each of his orders for a slightly additional costs.
Since like I've really never attempted to get a lower wattage laser from Blord to see how comparable his price options are with//to some of the other sellers on here (I'd prolly just assume it's fairly close or comparability priced depending on parts and considering the craftsmanship), and idk if that is even a factor on your purchase, but yeah I would definitely PM him, talk with him go over specs and see what all he can make happen, get some options, think about it and go from there. Ultimately I think you will be satisfied, and probably end up buying more than just the one in the long run no matter what you end up going with, and have a blast, so long's you follow the laser safety rules, and adhere to the duty cycles and ensure a long life for the diode.
Jokers out of stock at the moment the limited inventory's for his fairly decent quality builds, and pretty nice deals usually sell off pretty quick but he cycles his inventory and wavelength availability pretty often you'll just have to keep you eye on his FS thread if//when you want to wait or check out one of those as well..
