Well, I finally got a chance to put the Weller soldering iron and Panavise that Santa brought me for Christmas to use today by assembling the tvbgone kit that I purchased from the Make store. I have to say, after using several crappy soldering irons, that using a quality iron makes a huge difference.
I don’t know if I’ll be using it very much (probably not), and certainly not to the grand effect that the folks at Gizmodo recently did, but it was fun and an opportunity to work on my soldering skills.
Of course, Zoe, after some consideration, suggested we go try it on a wall of TVs at Best buy…
