WOW,WOW,WOW Just MAD skill there. Randy If I may ask what are you using to shield the finished solder joints
when you add to the area and not melting that joint apart? Great work and Im learning as you go. Thank you.

Top notch work! I'm in agreence with everyone else, excellent craftsmanship. I would love to be able to work with metal and shape it every which way but then to do it at such a small scale is even more impressive. Can't wait to see it all finished

[Jantrix]

Is this going to end up being painted at any time? it would seem a shame to do so.

Hi Folks,

Mike, Thank you buddy

Austin, Appreciate your kind words!

Thanks Greg

Hi Jim, thought you would like the new direction.

Thanks David

Hello Danno, Good to see you still around

Thanks Red

Dave, Thank you!

Clay, Thanks and I get by with an assortment of heat sinks and pre planing. For heat sinks I use self closing tweezers, wooden clothes pins and bits of wet paper towel. The planning comes in when deciding how to assemble the pieces. I try to join the largest parts together first, they usually take the most heat applied the longest time. Then work down to the smaller stuff.

Jason, Thank you!

Hi Rob, I'm coming around to your idea slowly but surely

Unbelievable stuff Randy. If I hadn't been on-board since the beginning, I never would believe these last few pix. You've some mad skills and I'll bet some mighty sore fingertips.

[Gluhead]

Looking good, Randy. Real good.

I see your early post about what you use in soldering, but I can't tell what flux you have there. That seems to be the steaming road apple in my path to a proper solder joint...could you enlighten me?

[Randy D]

Hi Folks,

Thanks Derrick, Sorry it took so long to come back!

Hi Brad, Thank you my friend

Thank you Chris, I will get you the name of the stuff I use.
