runnin17 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 So I have done a couple of soldering projects and both of them have not turned out so great. Just wondering if there is a good online guide or some place I can look to get some decent tips. I know a lot of it just has to do with practice, but I feel as though I am missing out on a lot of the subtle little things that will make soldering in general a lot easier on me. Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Good idea. Micheal (ingwe) had a full head of hair before that terrible soldering accident. If he had only read the tutorials first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Oh, that's what that was. I thought it was some kind of ethnic break-dancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micheal (ingwe) had a full head of hair before that terrible soldering accident. If he had only read the tutorials first. Not to mention my blood-sugar was normal and I slept normally...

MASantos Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 After you see the videos and read online information, it's always good to buy a perfboard and a few resistors(the cheapest you can find ata local store) and just practice soldering. Watching the videos doesn't replace a bit of practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 You're a helpful lot, but this thread is one year old and the OP hasn't posted since last April. Grave robbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepak Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 You're a helpful lot, but this thread is one year old and the OP hasn't posted since last April. Grave robbers. I keep seeing January 2009 on forums and think it's a current thread. Fortunately I haven't bumped any of these threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've had the same misapprehension, but in this case the thread must have been pretty buried. Kind of a clue that it isn't current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
