Building my first laser

Building my first laser

Well really it is not my first laser, I built one that would connect to the head of my 3D printer and did some testing and engraving.  It was a fun and learning experience!

This one is going to be much better!  My last one was only 3 wats, this one is 22 watts.

So it can engrave, cut and works with many materials!

In the old days the only thing I could really engrave to was paper grocery bags, they seemed to work best!

I am looking forward to making some projects and engraving everything I can.  This all started back before Christmas because we got the boys a nice bottle of Whiskey and the lady at the store engraved it – right on the glass! 

It was awesome!

Putting it all together was not bad, took about an hour and a half – then I was ready for some testing.

Pictures to follow!
