Hi Joel, sorry to say that I am no longer working with lasers, I just do not have the time any more, try asking on laserpointerforums, there are a number of uk members who may be able to help you out with it.
Good luck

HI, I'm having problems building my flip top laser lighter. If I payed you would there be any chance you could build me one then send it to me in the post. I am in the UK like you so it will cost pennies to post it.
Hi Morgan, good to hear you are still moving forward with your laser building 
Any of my published stuff is free issue to anyone who wants to use it so feel free.
I have moved on to other things at the moment, bigger metaly weldy things, see the new page that I have just gone live with to see what I mean
All the best to you and other LPF members, I will no doubt be back at some time.

Hi Rog,
It's been a while since seeing you at LPF. I hope things are going well. I've been trying to write a little guide for newcomers to the laser world and have linked to your DDL tutorial here. I'm hoping you will be happy for me to use the photo of the built circuit in this link to break up the text of my post. I have posted it lieu of a positive answer but if you have a problem with this then I'll remove it immediately. I know I can be protective over my photos so will completely understand if I've over stepped the mark but hope the link brings you some benefit too.
I've been busy and progressing with my builds and hope you have too.
It'd be good to hear from you.
All the best,
Morgan

Hi I happened to stumble across your excellent site while looking for laser related stuff and bookmarked it straight away. Love all the clearly presented information and great pics etc. Have just made my first laser, I never knew it was possible until i saw some on youtube.

Hi nice web page I have built the laser driver that is in the laser driver section but I think I might of fried the trimpot because when I was trying to bring the voltage down to 7.2 out of a 9v battery but it didn't work. thinking of maybe etching some pcb boards so the connections dont go to any other components.
also going to make a book on how to make this particular driver and how lasers and drivers work. thanks

10 microfarad is a good value, just be sure the voltage is at least 2 times the voltage you are going to use, if you want smaller you can go to tantalum capacitors. The ones shown are easily available so should not be a problem.

In the first picture of the LASER DRIVER you have a 10 microfarad 63v capacitor....
so you can use many types of capacitors...
how can I choose them?????
