wow, thanks admin. with the webcam setup could i just put the webcam on the inside of the enclosure and then have it plugged into my computer? i was thinking about doing an instructable with one of those things made out of yard sticks, y'know what i mean. the things you use to replicate drawings to larger/smaller scales?

I work with class IIIb lasers at my job actually. Theyre in the invisible light spectrum though so theyre not much fun lol. I think our lasers are 15 mW. We just make sure we dont put our eyes in front of the emitter devices or fiber optic cables

I manufacture Fiber Optic Modulators. Theyre used in high bandwidth telecommunications and such.
