cheesyxpickle@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoThis is another piece, but you can see pretty clearly here. The brush is applying flux, that helps the solder adhere only to the copper foil. Without flux, nothing happens!

Whoa! That is a legitimately fascinating video, thanks again for sharing. “We Can Do It” is such a great image too.
Youtube shorts might net you a little extra revenue if you have a bunch of these clips, btw, if you aren’t way ahead of me, haha, i just learned about shorts.
How long did it take you to develop such a steady hand for the solder?

I made that piece for my friend who is doing amazing things with the pipe fitters and women in the trades! She is a true inspiration.
I only really use YouTube to watch the ISS feed haha other than that I don’t know much about it! I’ll film some more as I work and they could end up as a short, thanks for the tip!
The steady hand has come with time, I believe… they don’t always feel too steady when I’m working hahaha

“…she is a true inspiration.”
wow, what a stellar gift, and something that you can throw your appreciation for her into.
do you have a finished picture of the “we can do it” piece you can share?
haha, i remember soldering headphone wires for the first time and ending up with a crazy lumpy Boulder of solder and burnt wires by the end.
to which, of course, I shrugged and rolled electrical tape around and accepted.
