Building a high power laser device

[Opel_Corsa]

I'm working on a project that is supposed to use a laser beam to engrave symbols on such surfaces as wood. There're tutorials on the Internet about converting a regular laser pointer into a burning device (uses DVD diode) but its power is not sufficient for my purpose.

Is there any way I could build this myself without having to buy one from the market? e.g using a stronger/weaker diode? If not then is there anything in the market?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should buy a laser marking device. powerful laser is controlled by government, so better not try to modify any laser to be a high power laser.
