"I am currently writing an entire book on how to build portable game systems, complete with photos, diagrams and templates aplenty. I even tell the reader which end of the soldering iron to hold!"

Although we all know that bens book is coming out, i feel relieved that " I even tell the reader which end of the soldering iron to hold!" onlt because i actually grabbed the wrong end of the soldering iron once, while it was plugged in. Not grabbed as touching lightly, grabbed like picked it up like itwas a dumbell. It burned all the way through my skin... I have been scarred for life (literally!).

Ouch. You hold it by the cord and hang it, then drop it down like a claw machine, of course

You actually put the handle in your mouth and move you head to solder.

Wow I'm lucky I've only got those burns that happen when the iron is too close to your skin, not touching but close. And I've also grabbed a hair curler when plugged in so I know just how thats feels grabbing the soldering iorn.

So RNS0504, tell us whats the smell of burning human flesh smell like.

When I was littler my hair was absurdly long (past my shoulders even) and when hair touches the soldering iron, it really smells!!!

I broke a laptop in half a while back(dont ask) and I was soldering the wires to the power adapter back on, while sitting croass legged on the floor. Then I dropped some melted solder on my leg and freaked and dropped the soldering iron on my other leg. I have scars on both my legs now...
