Soldering is basically a form of light welding to craft eletronics, jewelry, and more and using a mix of tin, silver and lead.

Often used to make and repair jewelry, it's been adopted by electrical engineers and is used to hold components together and to printed circuit boards. It is possible to desolder components and salvage them as well.

I'm an uninployed student, so I have vary little cash on hand. I think this puts me in a good spot for testing low budget gear. I plan to focis on diy/shoe string kits. This includes making a laptop from components, setting up a basic street kit for $20 and more allong the line. I have experince with copmuter building and modding, soddering, recycling tech, diy, and being poor in genral.

 

Contact for questions or projects you might need me to work on.

 

Best regards,

My dad taught me how to solder when I was around 6. I did a basic electronics kit then the for christmas they got me a small robot kit that I soldered together. It was then I decided I wanted to get into robotics as a career field.
