Unfortunately I have not been able to find the two posts I'm about to refer to. I'm not even sure it I saw then in the forums or on blog posts somewhere. However, somewhere I read about Viktor using a laser welder to weld a nut to something, I can't remember what exactly. Also, I read somewhere about Viktor playing with liquid glass and using a laser with a fiber optic cable to set the liquid glass.
I'm hoping Viktor or something else can tell us about the laser welding rig and the laser used to set the liquid glass, especially if they are self build. Details about the power supplies and lasers used would be greatly appreciated.
I have been fascinated by lasers forever; however, in my old age I have become more cautious of experimenting with things that could permanently hurt me. I would love to make a laser cutter to cut balsa wood, but I'm not sure how powerful of a Laser LED I will need or enough about electronics to design the power supply.
Any information will be greatly appreciated,
Jeremy
