Found my first soldiering iron

[janschutz]

I was cleaning out a room in the shed at the farm last weekend. I found my first soldiering iron in a box.



My dad said I would play with this as a toddler. Explains the dents.  My dad an electronic technician and actually taught me how to soldier when I was 4 (with a real electronic soldiering iron, not this one).  I have that iron also.

My soldering is about as good as my welding.

And how does that compare to your engine building???

Car runs well.  Probably because I didn't have to weld or solder anything.  Now carb rebuilding.................

Got mine in 1977 and I was 23.  Still works like a champ.  It's a weller.
