The description of this video has links to some playlists I've made for Basic Soldering. I also added some links to help you find items that are similar to what I'm using in this video.
Hi, I did some soldering in the military but that was decades ago. I've always wanted to teach my kids to solder. Now because of your simple and very easy-to-watch video, I can. Please make more.
Please note that you can perform all of these techniques on the stranded braided wire as well, but you would need to tin the wires first. You should always tin your wires first anyways to make the bonding process cleaner and easier, but it is not as necessary with solid copper wire as it is with the stranded wire.
@@Aagggyy please do not solder on batteries. It can be very dangerous, and furthermore, it doesn't work because of the material it is made out of. Connecting wires to batteries usually needs Spot Welding instead. Check this out www.instructables.com/How-to-Solder-LiPo-Batteries-Correctly/
These are great tips. I’m wondering why my twists never look that nice unless it’s safety wire using specialty pliers. I might have to try my safety pliers if I don’t see you do it in another video. Thanks again.
Great videos. I am about to embark on soldering guitar pickup connections. My problem is everything is so small. Would you be willing to video how to solder small connection please. Potentiometers and capacitors .
What's the setup for holding the wires while you solder? I can see the clamps you use, but what structure holds the clamps in place and creates the stable environment for wire to be soldered? Thank you so much. I love your channel!
That's a good question. If it's limited exposure it's probably not too bad, but it is better to avoid the fumes from the solder and the flux if possible.
I saw my friend use a little fan on the wall that blows barely toward his face, not the work. He said don’t ever inhale hot metal. I took it to mean there’s lots of stuff on it that’s bad for you.
Possibly you can help me with an Electronics mystery. For the past two weeks I have been scouring probably close to 50 internet and RU-vid pages looking for a good source for beginner Electronics. All of them either assume that you already have 5 years of classes under your belt or they go the other way and say what a resistor is and then say "go have fun building your kit.". Do you know of any source that can teach, for example, how to translate a schematic into a step-by-step assembled and soldered real world final item? If you have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. At this point, I am lost.
Wow, this is a perfect description of important info that people leave out. One of my goals for this soldering series is to fill in these gaps. I definitely need to add this to the series. Unfortunately I have a lot of things going on right now, so I may not get to it for a few months. But I will try to see if I can find a good source for you. Until then I'm mention this: when there is a line between the components on a schematic, I put a wire in that place. Then I try to use the same component layout as the schematic. Another thing you can do is place the components one by one where you want them and make the necessary connections to follow the paths on the schematic, but that can get confusing very quick.
All the electronics at home I couldn’t fix because of my lack of soldering knowledge… Really my lack of FLUX KNOWLEDGE 😂 I’m fixing sooo much stuff now
😂 I don’t know how to solder but I was told to always put the wires parallel then solder then use a heat shrink and heat it with a heat gun or a carefully with lighter
This is just one video in a series that I have about soldering basics. If you don't want to watch all of them, I recommend watching the first 2 at least. They are the most important and are about using solder and using flux. Here are links to those videos... Using Solder: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--qk-ulz05J8.html Using Flux: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OWNAjwhwzro.html I do also recommend watching other people's videos because nobody will know everything. And my soldering videos are Basics videos. I give enough information to help people get started and practice, but I also leave more advanced info out so that it's not overwhelming for beginners. I hope this is helpful!
