Well, I hold solder in my teeth to feed it as a third hand.  Where are the pearly gates?

Well I was trying to help guys, sorry I bothered. Too late to delete the thread, just ignore it then.

Did you really get the impression that folks around here needed a beginner DIY article?

 

Yeah, I saw a post down below of somebody asking for advice on a $80 soldering station, rather than reply I thought to make a thread for a bunch of tips. I thought it was obvious that it wasn't for the experts. 

 

Since your a mod just delete the thread please.

As evidenced by the lack of deleted threads, they don't delete threads around here very often.

If I connect the three wires of my power cord together, does that triple the current carrying capacity of the power cord?

That was clever.

 

Surprising how sensitive you guys are here, though the post obviously wasn't meant for experts.

Well we don't really know, as there would be no evidence for deleted threads. I PM'd n_maher to please delete it but he's ignoring me, no doubt to punish me for the transgression.

I'm having a not so close friend test the 3 wire theory this afternoon.  Will post results.

A rather artistic way of bundling wires together is to rip 1/2" by 12" strips from an old sheet.  Wrap wires and tie into a bow.  If you use a white sheet,  you can dye them with Rite to match the color of the wires.

Nate isn't punishing you.  We really delete very few threads here.  Yours isn't close to meriting deletion.

 

My advice, probably worth about what your are paying for it, is to just forget about this and move on.  Everybody else will.

I am too. I'd take the best of it as good natured ribbing, and the worst as insecurity. I thought the original was fine, if perhaps a bit out of place. If nothing else, it made me think that I should turn my fume hood on more often, which then made me think about how my crappy fume hood does jack, so it wasn't entirely useless. At any rate, I'd listen to guzziguy above.
