    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 UA-cam that are teaching soldering, but are teaching it wrong.

    I just got a promotion at my job to manufacturing assembly not only is it mechanical and fab but also electronics and soldering etc. I have residential and commercial 120/240v wiring experience but no low voltage electronic soldering experience. Don’t really know anything about resistors and that sort of thing. They know and I know that I’m competent enough to be on the job trained. So I’m trying to Absorb knowledge from UA-cam in conjunction with on the job. I hate being a newbie haha. Your series seems like a great intro so far.

    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 learnt to solder at a radio convention workshop with people around to give me encouragement & advice. It was a brilliant induction and gave me a lot of confidence. Some years later I want to build quite an expensive kit so am thinking doing one or two cheap kits just to get my confidence back. Your video offers so much good advice that I just want to get on with it.

I wish you would go into a little bit of disordering . 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. Again great videos and I really enjoyed them and learn a lot.

    I can weld pretty darn good but never mastered soldering for some reason but your videos are Very clear so there’s hope.
    I need to fix my truck ecm which apparently has loose connections and I’m going to practice on some old computer boards before I even remove the thermal gel
    I can actually turn the truck off by pressing the gel over the chip which leads me to believe the soldered connections are bad .. At least that’s what I hope.
    Also my best soldering iron is an older #145 45 watt Ungar or a Taiwan no name 45w with changeable tips so learning as much as possible to see if it’s good enough but may need to upgrade to 60 or 90 watt.
