Hello folks. Peter Tsukamoto here. I have just joined and am most impressed
with the potential of this group. I look forward to reading the posts
everyday.

In regards to the laser project Don is attempting, my only input would be to
use extreme caution around a laser processing machine. If any of the laser
energy inadvertently got directed into a persons eyes, that would be the end
of that persons vision. I doubt the laser goggles sold by the laser makers
would be enough to prevent damage. At the very least, a visit to a metal shop
that has a metal cutting laser and observing the shielding techniques would
be warranted. Peter
