This is my first time building a laser!
And it's a lot of work!!! But it's worth it!!!!
I'm still working on the case. I've got to get my optic. plate in there next.
*warndjmatt*warn
Ok here the case finished...well for the most part. I wont finish it all untill the guts are in.
The case weights in at a nice 53lbs!!
*warndjmatt*warn
Although, it's not the technical view you're looking for, I think it looks great. Cat (MOM) :D
WOW! Nice start you got going there :D :D
What are you going to do about the optical plate? Single plate with lasers and power on different sides, lasers and PSU's on the same side, or two different plates (one for each)?
Also, which lasers are you planning on using? >:)
Glad to see you got a great start tight away... this thing just might be ready for a big debut at SELEM! *warn

P.S. I see the little April fool's joke you did there :p (|\|1C3LY D0N3 ;))

keep us updated with pictures,
i like how this build has started :)
Wow, Matt! You sure didn't waste any time! It's only been a day or two since we've talked, and you've already got a case frame assembled! (I'm telling you folks - watch this guy! Great things will come from him!)
Nice job on the welding. (Or did you braze it?) Have you decided which sides of the box will be removable yet? (Last we talked, you were thinking about only making the top removable, right?)
Keep up the good work, and keep the pictures coming!
Adam
matt, if you dont mind me asking, how old are you?? this is REALLY an amazing start to a project. and it seems to me like you *just* began this endeavor on or about the time of FLEM!?!? GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
i think adam is right...i see some SERIOUS lasers and shows coming from you!!!
-Marc
I met him at FLEM -
He's WAY to young to be that advanced with his project already...:D
hey randy...
maybe he can get "Jolly Green" built for ya!!!!!! :D:p:D:p HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
LOL...j/k brotha!
-Marc
Very NICE Matt! Tired of that POS LaserWorld huh? ;)
Haha!! Yeah im going to try to be ready for SELEM!! Ive only got it tacked right now to make sure everthing would line up,plus I ran out of rods...:( But there on the way!!!!!:DQuote:

*warndjmatt*warn
Oh its fine! Im 22. Yes I did,Ive messed with lasers for maybe a year,but they were ones that you buy, like laserworld. After seeing all the lasers at FLEM,I was like, This is too cool! I want to do that!!!!Quote:

Well I just put some new pics up of the case!!
Tell me what yall think!!:D
*warndjmatt*warn
Looks good, and I bet you could run over it with a tank without knocking the divergence.
Haha!!:D:D
I hope I never have to test that out!!!!:)
Thanks!!
*warndjmatt*warn
or indeed the convergence :)
Matt, looks great what kind of black finish did you use on your box? Did your lasers show up yet?
Looking good there, Matt! Though I'll bet it's getting heavy! :D
Have you installed any goodies inside yet?
Adam
The paint is satin black. I will warn you, if you try to paint AL,it will not stick! You have to sand it first to remove the oxide,then it sticks like glue!!:D
Nope not yet,but im hopeing they will be here soon!:p Im ready to burn holes in my wall!!!:p:p:p:cool:
But my galvos are here!!!:D
It weights in right at 53lbs!!!:eek: But its built like a tank!!!>:)
*warndjmatt*warn
Ok I was kinda bord,but if any one is wondering why im name on here is djmatt this is why
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=699768
Most of the songs on there only take a few weeks to do, there are a few that take longer!
The longest one took a year to complete,its the song Oxygen.
I know this has nothing to do with my laser build!!!:D
But keep an ear out at SELEM you may here a few:p

Great Job Matt!!
I listened to a few of them; really good work. I especially liked Final Destination.
I agree with Randy......lasers written all over it.
Haha!!!:D Yeah Im catching my self thinking that: Hmm how would this look,or how about this, no lets do this!!:D:D
I have some more to add,I just need to sit down and convert them to MP3s:)
Thanks for checking it out!!
*warndjmatt*warn
I'm always amazed at what you do especially with your music. It's just beginning with the lasers. Cat (mom)
hey matt-
i just got in and saw this. im gonna listen to some of these and with your permission, play them out. i DJ nightclubs also and do a lot of producing myself. (remixes) nothing original yet.
I have an on-air show coming up on KISS 95.7 (WKSS) on a show called "BUZZ" with randy boyer. He is a friend of mine and i actually do alot of laser work with him. i would suggest you contact him. he is making it VERY big right now. one of his songs "Stemcell" is on a "Tiesto" DVD (Watch here). I think you can consider yourself pretty successfull if tiesto calls you up one day and says, "hey, mind if i buy one of your songs for my DVD?" LOL...
anyway, randy is a GREAT guy! very down to earth and is EXTREMELY willing to talk with "amateurs" or people just starting out in this business. tell him you know me. :D (not that that will get you a record deal or anything...lol...) just for an intro, thats all.
looking forward to listening to these. but right now, i have to go to sleep. i spent all day testing and packing up SOMEONES 30 pound package of lasers!!!! :p:D:p
-Marc
oh, him momma matt! :) (cat!)
ok, sorry for double post-
Matt...
"Calling," "I give you my all" are DEFINITE plays! do you have master copies of these? dude, seriously...these are EXCELLENT!!!!
we gotta talk! ;)
-Marc
Yes you may use them!! Just let me know which ones and ill send you them in an email!!:D
Oh cool!! Ill have to look in to that!!!;)
Wow!! 30lbs!!!:eek:
lets see 53+30=83 lbs!!:eek: Well thats just a tad bit more than my moving heads!!!:D
Thanks again for all your help!!!:)
Now the fun begins!!!!:p:p
*warndjmatt*warn
Hiya Matt,
Looks like someone's christmas is coming early this year? ;) :D
About the music... DUDE! GREAT STUFF! You got a record I can buy? I'd love to have these... this is the kinda stuff I 'think' to ;)
This is really cool man. Thank you very much for sharing it. :D
--DDL
Haha!! Thanks!!!
There all on my computer. It takes so long to do them, theres the layout, the mixing,the writing,then a prebeat mix on the turntables,then a convert to all wav.(thats the easiest part).But with all the new ones I do now are all in HD sound output, (thats a pain to do,I run them all threw a HD sound enegin called Sound Max Pro.)
but its fun!! And its all for the glory of God!:D
Just let me know,and I can send you MP3s:)!
*warndjmatt*warn
Awakening <--- Excellent beam show song IMHO! *retardo
Really digging this stuff! :cool:
--DDL
Haha!!! Yeah!!:D Now I just have to put it all together:eek:!! And Im kinda nervus about that part!!!:o
Thanks!!:D
My music has kinda taken a back seat untill I get my laser done! but I have some new songs Ive got to add to soundclick but havent had time to:(
Haha!! no im not that big!!! But I can make one and send you one if you want.;):):D

Resistance is futile, Randy. You will be assimilated.Quote:

Can't wait to see his first beam-show at SELEM!;) And yeah, his music has got "LASERS" written all over it. It would almost be a crime to listen to his tracks without firing up the projector!
Adam
Great mix!!!!
Haha!! Most paeople call it trance. I call it uplifting trance!!!:D:DQuote:

*warndjmatt*warn
For sure... If you can convert an old fart like Randy (who only listens to classic rock), then you've really accomplished something! :DQuote:

But yeah, your music is awesome Matt. Keep it up.(I'm going to play some of your mixes at SELEM while we play with LivePro... (No pressure dude!)
Adam
Thank you!!!Quote:

But what I really want to do is run Pangolin off my synth,or better yet my turntables!!!:D;):p!
Ill have to try that after I get the "Tank" up and running!!!:p
Oh one ? Im still having trob. with what I need to do with the loop on the breakout card, DZ told me ounce,but I think I got mixed up again:o
