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!

Does that mean I can use my teeth and/or lips? Word of caution: be very cautious when using your mouth and don’t breathe.
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.
bah… hackaday lower-cased my url so it doesn’t work!! Try the “morcheeba” link below instead, or this one: http://tinyurl.com/6a328t
I am not positive the place you’re getting your information, however great topic.
I needs to spend a while learning more or figuring out more.
Thanks for fantastic information I used to be looking for this info for my mission.
