I’m a pipe fitter but this knowledge is useful for working on my cars and house

This video is an excellent introduction and deserves more views.

Really nice competent-sounding gentleman, no hype, flannel or flummery. As a a British bloke I even tuned out of the US pronunciation of solder! I loved the demo of the single handed two wire grip! Whatever gets it done is the right way! I was not aware of all the different types of flux or what they do, so seeing what they do is really helpful. The hot air solder melting tool was also news to me, thankfully on a Non-DCC railway layout I don’t think I’d ever need one. Brilliant stuff Sir!

This video is a gem. I'm so glad that I found this. It answered so many questions that I had.

This is just what I needed to help me make better antennas for my ham radio! Thanks! 🇬🇧💐

Oh holy algorithm bless this channel

Friend your video was my 1st to watch how to solder and I am a happy viewer...I'm ready to give it a go on customizing frames on hot wheels... thank you 👍

A skill I wish I had learned years ago. Thanks

Great video for a beginner! Thanks!

This video is awesome and so informative throughout you dont waste anytime on bs Thank you for teaching me about my newest obsession haha. Now i know the reason my nuts and bolts person isnt sticking together is cause i need flux

Thank you for this 👍

Thank you!

Thank you 👍👍

Great video. Very well done, good commentary and teaching expertise. Thank you.

Great thanks.

nice informative video...just want to ask the title of the soothing background music, please...

Excellent information here. Thank you. Can you tell me what kind of flux I would need for soldering a polished metal piece? It's so shiny it almost looks like it's Chrome plated. I can't seem to get solder to stick to it with my paste flux.

😂😂😂 that burnt wire shot. Man I keep doing that even without trying 😭🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

Great video. I have a question about the last segment. It looks like you used just a tiny amount of solder and yet you're telling me it went all the way around the shaft and also through the gear onto the other side?

What if you’re not sure what you’re soldering? I have a slide drawer for storing coffee k-cups. I believe it’s made out of metal instead of aluminum, but I’m not sure how to tell. One of the rods on the front end side has pulled apart from the front face (bad original solder job). It doesn’t really effect the drawer performance but it’s annoying flopping around a bit. I hate to throw it out and get another (like friends have suggested) when it should just be an easy fix. I have in my possession a pencil like tip soldering iron, one with a standard flathead screwdriver like tip, and a small torch like at the end of your video. I believe the only solder I have is a package of small Lead-Free Rosin Core Solder. To correctly re-attach the rod (it will stay put touching the front until you move the drawer) are you saying I need to use the torch rather than the electric soldering irons? So far most videos I’ve come across in my search is how to solder electronics versus small household shelves/drawers. Any help would be very much appreciated.

As a beginner, I am very uncomfortable with how close he can get the iron to his fingers.

How do you get solder to stick to metal? I only ever have it stick to the iron tip

In tinning a wire for a joint. You should never let the solder go under the insulation. Also the joints need to be cleaned with alcohol to prevent corrosion before you seal them. Otherwise it’s a doomed connection.

My turning signal connections are messed up. I have to get a low profile connection to a washer, the amount I need won’t bond. Everything that holds is too much.

Did you make you're helping hands or you buy it?

I would not use a heat gun with bear hand though. You're very brave. 😉

What is the difference between solder paste and solder flux? Will the paste work on aluminum wire?

There are a few vids on the subject. I chose the lesser of 2 weevils.

What about Aluminium? 😥

😉

What the flux!!!!😁🍻🍻🍺🍺🍺

Am I the only one that saw a radio shack branded item? 😂

the music dint have to be louder than ur voice good lecture though

Great video, but I gotta tell you, that the music is super duper distracting/annoying

I have some doubts about the genius of the weevil. His editing is not so good. The audio is very inconsistent. sometimes the boring music in the background is pushing its way in to the forefront and is louder than the voice over.

..god that ..music is annoying…

terrible examples
