Here it is, folks… the instructions to construct the helmet -the hardest, most intimidating portion of this (now made ridiculously easy)- all in one printable document!  Download it, save it, pass it around… go nuts with it!

THIS IS WHAT YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!  No power tools, very limited hand tools -a hammer, a box cutter, and a hole punch (not even a saw!)- and it requires all the skill of a kindergarten class craft project!  Also, it’s made with materials that are locally available from stores that are located in most every city in the U.S. -Wal-Mart, Michaels, Joanne Fabric and Craft Stores, and Home Depot!  AND IT’S DIRT CHEAP.

The practical knowledge that I’ve gained from my experience in do-it-yourself laser helmet projects has given me invaluable insight as to what is necessary to make an effective laser helmet.  I can tell you that this one meets and surpasses all of them...

• The top is created to conform perfectly to the curvature of the head.
  

• The base is custom fitted around your head with plenty of padding.
  

• It’s a full coverage device with enough diode holes for any conceivable arrangement.
  

• The diodes rest on brush bristles for a uniform height above the scalp.
  

• It’s both comfortable, sturdy, and secure on your head.
  

• It looks good!

...And like I said, it’s cheap and made from commonly found materials!  All of these reasons coupled with the fact that it’s so easy to make is why I’ve dubbed this design the “Laser Messiah"… it’s the savior for people that either don’t have a lot of tools and/or skill!  And actually, in all likelihood it’s as good if not BETTER than most other helmets out there.

I’ve divided these instructions into easy six steps, and you can easily finish each step after work, after dinner, or whenever!  Think about it… you can have the HELMET -the hardest part of all of this- FINISHED IN SIX DAYS!  Less than a week, baby!

Man-oh-man, it’s 18 pages, and yes… TINY, TINY font, but if you can’t see a picture clearly or whatever… it’s up on my website in the “Do-It-Yourself” section.

Ah yes… it’s the last month of summer, and I hear the call of the world… I won’t be poking around the forums too much until September!  I realize that some of you are in the middle of making this and might have a question or two, so JUST FOR YOU… I’m setting up the temporary email address of lasermessiah@lasermessiah.com where you can ask me questions related to the construction if this helmet.

Now, one day I will put together the wiring instructions for this helmet, too, even though it’s completely unnecessary because it’s so simple. However, that day isn’t today! That MONTH probably isn’t this month!  But rest assured it will be complete one day!

Peace out, and enjoy August!
