upcycled chopping board..... Soldering/mini project platform.
Divided he ad:
Hi Guys, Thanks to you all :)
John Rudd, He was here all afternoon, we completed one circuit board of a light activated switch. He has an infared barrier to build too.
John Swift, The board is similar to one I've made before for my mum to use making jewellery, It's a very versatile design :thumbup:
We only had one very minor incident with the back of one finger.... It's a learning curve! (info passed onto my sister)
Dave, The upcycling thing... I heard the phrase. Thought I'd give it a whirl :lol: I get what you mean about the oil.... It'll be well soaked in in a day or so I guess.... I didn't use tons of it. It's not affected the board we made today.... I'll inform my sister of your concerns and get here to give it a wash :thumbup:
Rob, It was a Maplin one that took 3AA's. It was an absolute nightmare to use.... He struggled to keep the button held in while trying to control the tip and solder at the same time.... The gas one although radiating lots of heat is at least 20 times faster to use.
I will investigate the iron you used for my own purposes :dremel:
ready for action.....
And an "action" shot :dremel:
Ralph.

Impressive....and encouraging..
Most younglings would probably be out the door after 5 mins wanting to get back to computer games in front of the tv..... :coffee:

Not bad for a 12 year old eh!? :thumbup:
I figured I can get him above the curve before his school teachers bore him with all teaching and very little actual doing. (Obviously drawn from my own experiences)
I'll try to get him to a competent level of doing :dremel: so he wants to learn the boring stuff rather than switching off in classes.... Just my way of learning. It might work with him?
I give him a basic explanation (all I know these days!) of what the component is and what it does and then how to prepare it for soldering, and how to apply the solder etc.
He's spent whole afternoons in my workshop wanting to see how I make stuff... A few more years I'll start training him on the lathe and mill :)
Ralph.
