i appreciate the input on the music track in my new vid. i ended up getting rid of the music except for in the build compilation since it felt too distracting. here's the new and likely final version. i also rendered this one in 4k this time. it's funny because i've been filming 4k for a while now but only so i could make crops that would stay HD. i figure i might as well just start rendering vids in 4k since some people like that. i don't even have a 4k monitor to watch it that way myself though lol

honestly i'm not super happy with how this vid turned out. i wanted to do a quick vid to get my uploads rolling again but i ended up wasting time on silly details and i didn't even get a good opportunity to film outside with it. also the burning capabilities were a bit weaker than i expected, but i realized it's because i've been spoiled by my 100W blue laser build. other than the obvious higher power of the blue laser, blue light in general is better at burning because nearly everything absorbs it stronger than green. oh well. the raw brightness was fun and it was also fun to use inverter microwave parts in a project.

i'm already trying to decide which of the long list of projects i want to do for the next vid. i have been itching to break out the monster soviet vacuum tubes for some fun with plasma. i've also been thinking about tempting fate and doing a vid on explosively driven lasers. decisions....
