    Thinking of building a laser holiday tree...

    Knew the motor side of it was easy since we're essentially talking about a cone. I'm not 100% sure if we'd want to do other patterns, or if we did, maybe they'd be in the future. I guess we could go 2 ways: super easy and cheap, or spend a little more dough and have something a bit more...

    Thinking of building a laser holiday tree...

    I work for a science center, and this holiday season we're thinking of doing a holiday laser tree in an area of the building that's about 5 stories tall! It's a neat project, but as we start putting together a proposal, I'm wonfering how powerful of a green laser we'd need to get the job done...

    New glass lens for my 405nm laser

    Ahhhh the internet... letting people say things to other people that they wouldn't, in a million years, have the balls to say to to the person's face. <cough>cust11<cough> Life would be sweet if people acted in forums as they do in real life. After all, when's the last time a coworker looked...

    Cash for Gold (I will buy fairly!)

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right. PT seems to be at a 'lower' point in it's cycle... the demand had something to do with auto makers buying so much of it for use in catalytic converters to keep emissions down. Platinum & Palladium are the metals of choice for that... I'm curious to see what...

    Cash for Gold (I will buy fairly!)

    The way I see it - if just 1 soldier out of all those phones uses them to call home and talk to his family, it's worth it. What do you care if a soldier sells an old cell phone to make a few bucks anyway? It would have gotten thrown in a landfill anyway. Scopeguy20 - this thread is too funny! I...

    TRACKING OF YOUR IGORT's LASER ORDER!

    Left.  I was simply tired of defending myself against forum members who didn't like what I had to say, and felt it their duty to degrade, whine, kick, scream, negative rep, and anything else they could think to do.  Free speech isn't valued here, that's for sure.  And I had plenty of other...

    Re: FS: >110mW PHR, >140mW 4x & >170mW 6x Blu-Rays WOW - I am sorry to see this is still going on... I had hoped to get back and check-in to see that everyone had their lasers.

    Re: FS: >110mW PHR, >140mW 4x & >170mW 6x Blu-Rays After further thought, I've deleted MANY of my previous posts.  The ones that I felt were relevant I left in place - but any of them that contained bickering are out of here.  If I missed one, let me know.  I've posted my opinion and I have...

    Re: FS: >110mW PHR, >140mW 4x & >170mW 6x Blu-Rays Wow... yeah thanks for stopping in to let me know how condescending you can be and how little you care about a GB gone wrong for many people.  Really, really appreciated and very helpful. You are simultaneously correct, and incorrect about...

    Re: FS: >110mW PHR, >140mW 4x & >170mW 6x Blu-Rays I imagine it's the same "hurt" as people have who have placed total trust in a complete stranger and months later have received nothing for it?  The money in Igor's PP account belongs to the people who placed trust (and orders) with him until...
