Awesome! I might have to take you up on that. I just received my diode from DTR today, but am still waiting for my SL order to even ship :(. -HAM

I'm in the Virginia Beach area. So we are not too far apart. I think about 2 hr drive or so. First I think I need a laser! Actually I am building my first I have parts coming in from DTR and SL. Hopefully everything goes according to plan. I also have goggles incoming. Thanks for all the...
