On the last weekend @flpvsk invited me for a #workshop in #berlin. One of the things that would not have happened without the #fediverse. <3
Thanks & a big shout out to #flpsk to make it happen! Such a pleasant atmosphere and participants.
If you're in the north of Neukölln/Weichselstraße and are interested in electronic, homemade music, FX and guitars you should not miss to drop by his little store and workshop and have a chat with Andrey.

I FINALLY set up my oxygen/propane Smith Little Torch. I need to do some fine #soldering and that's what I bought this damn thing for. I've got the tanks set up properly, turned on, and pressures set for the tip I'm using. I can't get the damn thing lit. And yes, I did RTFM.

Any #silversmith out there able to suggest what I might be doing wrong? Maybe @Silverworker?

Currently working on a DIY solder fume extractor for my new @iFixit #FixHub soldering station. As a soldering novice I'm actually quite proud of what I've done so far :)

Stay tuned for another post once I've finished the project (currently still waiting on a USB-PD Trigger board tho so I can try powering everything directly from the FixHub's second USB-C port)...

I've been struggling hard with any of the (in theory extremely basic) electronics soldering tasks I've recently attempted after decades of not doing any.
Upon researching my problems, I *am* for once going to blame my tools - seems like the tips on my soldering iron have oxidised, so solder won't flow onto them properly. Also, 25W appears to be too weak for soldering bigger wires/connectors?
Any recommendations for a good basic iron that I can actually get hold of in Europe? #soldering

New project! The Evo64 Blue Pearl, it's a modified C64, kind of a mashup of the assy 250407 and 250469 Commodore 64 motherboards with a few mods added in and options for some SMD parts. The bags in the background is roughly half of the parts, I guess. Time for a bit of zen soldering. #Commodore #c64 #retrocomputing #soldering

Current wiring scheme: 1 volume, 1 tone with .022 µF cap. Coil tap is wired to the volume, voice 2 wired to the tone.

I've got 2 Fishman Modern Alnicos in here at the moment, to be swapped out with a Stephen Carpenter set once they arrive, as one of the Alnicos is defective.

This is a cool guitar but I've had nothing but issues with it in stock configuration. It's a good thing I'm a guitar tech, otherwise I'd have been a very unhappy customer.
