Lasers

Lasers are a makers dream toy to play with. There are virtually limitless possibilities of things that can be made by, and from lasers. We've got tons of great laser projects on Instructables already, and now with our new 75W Epilog Laser Cutter, we'll be pumping out more as quick as the ideas hit us, which is usually pretty often around here. We've assembled some of the best laser Instructables below, so pick up that laser pointer from your desk drawer, order a laser diode on ebay, or rip one out of an old DVD burner you've got lying around and go make something amazing!
