The NYC Soldering Championships are happening tonight at Ignite in M1-5. It looks like there might still be some slots open if you want to compete. You can bring your own iron, it’s all through-hole, but you can’t use helping hands. Good luck, and we can’t wait to see how this inaugural event turns out!

I’d throw down if I was in town!! But, too bad it’s through-hole ony — I’m pretty proud of my SMD skills. Check out my link (above) to see me soldering some 0201 resistors.
I’ve always found adhesive tape to be better than helping-hands. But, a good vice and a stereo microscope are essential for SMD work.
