CO2 Laser: The tube assembly

CO2 Laser: The tube assembly

I've found an easy way to align the optics and to keep the whole thing together, I use two metallic profile that I weld.
The glass tubing is a old neon with cut ends. To cut it I use thermal shock, with a glass drill you make a gash around the tube, then with a welding torch you quickly heat this gash. Usually this shock is enough to cut the glass. This process is better explained here.

The whole thing on my workspace
