  • I have to give you a HUGE commendation for teaching soldering "correctly". I personally have 17years of hand soldering in my technician working life. In my working years I was hand soldering cellular phone prototypes, I was working with a group of engineers, who I "ended up" teaching how to solder correctly. Some of them got it, but most of them did not, so I was the "main person" to go to, to get their soldering job done. I am now retired. Keep up the good work! There are a bunch of others on KZhead that are teaching soldering, but are teaching it wrong.

Your video offers so much good advice that I just want to get on with it.

  • I have had at least two false starts in soldering over the years ("Just thought I'd try it"), but didn't know what I was was doing, so no wonder, I see now, I didn't enjoy the experience, and the first time I messed up a bit. First let me say that just watching your videos was very satisfying - I'm not sure exactly what, but I suppose the calm relaxedness that comes from knowing what you're doing. I have been out today to buy an iron (no, spending money on simply an iron was quite enough), helping hands, neat little side cutters, a proto-board and a meter of wire. It went very well. Was a bit too careful with the first 1 or 2 solders of four solders, but a little touch-up and they looked good to me. Also stuck two bits of wire together - might expect solid wire to be more difficult than stranded, but it was easy-peasy. Thank you very much. I'll probably watch part 3 tomorrow.

I have an idea how it works but watching someone else do it is always a plus and a person can get a better idea. a lot of the stuff Im trying to do has to do with removing a bad part on a board and replacing it with a new part.
