# After scouring the web for examples of soldering training, we really liked the lessons captured in the [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 PACE] series, despite the fact that they were filmed in the 80's. These videos are well produced (for something possibly older than your parents) and have a lot of good information. The quizzable information is in the very first, fifth, and sixth videos, but the other videos have great examples of good and bad soldering joints. Another more modern video from [https://www.beautyandthebolt Beauty and the Bolt] is also insightful. TThis video is a little more modern, and a good resource, but not as technically interesting. It talks a bit about desoldering as well as soldering wires together and how to use heat shrink and electrical tape. A more modern series is available from [https://www.howcast.com/guides/930-how-to-solder Howcast]. It wouldn't hurt at all to watch this series, but we will just focus on a couple for the quiz. Finally, there is an official training video from the [[Maker Hub]] that is tailored to our specific space and equipment. This video will give you the information you need to perform the live solder demonstration required for your soldering certification.

# This nostalgic set of [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL926EC0F1F93C1837 videos] from PACE are quite old, but surprisingly still quite relevant. The style makes you think that you will be getting ready to watch an old Disney cartoon - you aren't. Don't get disappointed.

# '''Basic Soldering Lesson 1:''' This is by far the longest of the videos at (20:44), but also packed with the most pertinent information. It provides great background on solder, flux, wetting, and then mechanics of the iron and the joint. We do not have the student handbook that is mentioned. We suspect that you can manage without that. Here are some key ideas that you should watch for:

==Safety==
==Safety==
# Soldering Irons can get up to 1000 °F. This is really hot, so do not touch it. Any metal thing on the iron is hot. Be sure to hold the iron like a pencil, and ONLY hold it by the handle.
# Always wear safety glasses when you are cutting wires or anything else at the electronics workstation. If other people are nearby, ask them to wear safety glasses or step away briefly.
# Angle your wire cuts down into the table or cover them with your free hand to block the projectile.
# When not in use, turn off the soldering iron. There's no need to have it blistering hot when it is not being used.
# Soldering irons can get up to 1000 °F. Do not touch the tip of the soldering iron; it is extremely hot. If you get burned, run cold water over the burned area for several minutes to reduce inflammation and the potential for blistering.
#
# Wires and components can also become extremely hot from soldering. Use the available helping hands, and allow the wires/components to cool before touching.
# Always return the soldering iron to its stand when not in use. Never lay it directly on the workbench.
# Ensure you have adequate ventilation when soldering. Use the available fume extractors.
# Turn off the soldering iron when it is not in use.
# If you start an electrical fire, use a fire extinguisher to put it out. NEVER use water to put out an electrical fire.
# Keep liquids away from the electronics workstation.
