Hi all - is there interest in a through-hole soldering night? I would be happy to show people how to solder with the How to Solder Comic book and our VHS badge kit. Cost would be $3 for the badge, all proceeds going back to VHS.
I would be interested in having my son do this, but our availability is all
over the place until March.
I’ll love to. Do you know approximately when this can happen? The sooner the better!
I’d be interested in participating! Could we make it an SMD+trough-hole solder night? What date were you thinking?
I can help with through-hole, but I would like to practice SMD myself (never done it).
Sweet. We could do an SMD and through-hole night! I’m free on Thursday, Feb 12th.
Through-hole definitely and SMD if I can lay my hands on some good SMD kits before the 12th. I will see if @TomKeddie has any. If not, it’ll just be through-hole and we’ll plan on SMD in March.
I would recommend though, if you’ve never soldered before, to focus on through-hole first.
Thanks @RandyNW would love help if you are available.
@Big_Mak we have kits at the space. If you can’t make Thursday, come down on an open night, bring your son and I will get him set up.
I’m good for the Thursday the 12th.
Great I will do that. Chances are though not until March though.
Great! More details coming shortly.
I’m hoping I can make it out for this evening but don’t include me in the headcount, I’m sure I’d learn more though I’ve got some rough experience with soldering and would defer to anyone without experience if its getting crowded or short on equipment.
@alchemistletoe - for sure come on down!
@Mirong thanks for sending me an RSVP
And…the workshop is full. Thanks to everyone who responded. Thursday should be a good time!
