That looks cool enough to intend to but never actually try!

Love this guys DIY videos. But honestly I can see idiots burning someone's eye out with this idea or what if kids get their hands on one of these. And why on earth I wanna waste a good DVD-Burner for a laser pointer. That reminds me, I think I have a stuffed up DVD-Burner somewhere in my garage.

if the parts are cheap enough, and if this actually works, it's a cheap deal for someone who would spend probably over $100 for something similar.

What you don't get though is known collomation, output power, or GREEN. I think the green ones are the coolest.

if anyone is wondering who this guy is, his username is "KipKay".

You need a laser housing for this which isnt easy to find unless you take apart a 20$ laser pointer, i think you can use a cd burner as well because they use simular lasers.

Yeah I wondered about a CDR laser working also. Wish he mentioned if it would work or not.
Now... if only I had a DVDR I didn't want. :)

pretty awesome for sure. but someone want to run that back to me in plain english? "pull this shit out, sodder that, stick some shit on this. use an exacto, and bam! you're burning matches and poppin balloons." thanks bill nye, dumb it down next time pal.

(this is the time when all the DIY nerds say, "that's about as dumbed down as he can go guy." thanks)

Well if it lights a match, I'm sure it's safe to use on your eyeball.

That was cool..very cool actually, but I don't have any spare DVD burners lying around.

If it has to be dumbed down, maybe you shouldn't be trying it.

I agree about the retinal implications. Wonder what twat will do this, give it to his 5 year old, or will take it to school/the airport/hockey game and start shining it around..
