In this Practical Skills For Makers video, I talk about the basics of learning how to solder and how to solder the right way. I go over the equipment you need to get started soldering, including a soldering iron or station, what type of solder to buy, and why you should use a fume extractor. Then I talk about how to set up a soldering workspace, and some tips and techniques I've learned over the years. I also answer some of the most frequently asked questions regarding how to solder.
New videos are uploaded on Fridays!
