I appreciate your soft and pleasant voice, it makes it easier to watch the detailed approach, talking as you do it with advice of what not to do, is good for those who want to learn well done mate. So many pit falls out there, so tried and tested ways are best to start with, as you say drag soldering is good if your skilled at it, I'm old and do many solder through components over the years.
People ask me how i get the solder to look so good, I tell them it takes many years of trial and error you develop your own technique over tine. Being able to watch a pro do it with ease is a pleasure to watch and learn, so thanks for all you do to pass on your techniques, your a gold mine full of knowledge.

You are the king in soldering smd's beautiful work

Excellent video, with some very professional soldiering skills. I'm 54 years old and have been soldiering components since I was 12 years old. And I still can't produce that level of soldiering skill. Very well done... I have always struggled with flat ribbon connectors. I going to try your way. I greatly agree with you about the flux... Every teacher or instructor has drilled that into my head... Flux, flux, flux... Thumbs up and a sub has been earned here. Thank you.

The solder joints are perfect and have tried got years and your methods have change everything for the better

[vladixo]

Thank you for your work done. I always carefully look at your every material. On the chip, each leg was separately soldered, I liked it. I tried it and I did it. It turns out high quality, reliable and beautiful. I will wait for the next issue.

Very nice video, you never get bored watching it 😊

[jasoncatlyn]

Thanks for the demonstrations. Very helpful.

My first attempt at soldering 1206 components was a disaster. But after studying several of your videos I can happily jump in and solder 0603, sot 23 etc.
I certainly won't say I can come close to your quality but I no longer find myself shouting and screaming at the PCB when it all goes horribly wrong!
Take a bow Sir. You are truly the master! 😊

I am a very big fan of your videos. Great audio and video presentation as always, educational and very good narration as well. It seems you achieve great results with a sharp conical tip, something I will have another go at myself. I started out mostly soldering with larger bevel/hoof tips, as the YouTubers I followed in the beginning seemed to prefer those. I myself have had difficulty melting the solder with these smaller conical sharp tips, but I just got a new soldering station with JBC genuine tips, so maybe that will help me. I try to keep the tip clean as much as I can, avoiding too high temperatures and excessive oxidation, dirty tips, adding fresh solder to achieve good heat transfer, flux, etc. The new station also goes to sleep immediately when I return the tip to the holder, and heats up again extremely fast. Any other tips for being successful with the conical tips? My hands probably will never be as accurate with the tweezers though.. Your skill is truly inspiring.

5534! Excellent choice. :). (I think people often get more emotional about some of their favorite audio parts than people do about digital parts!)

Thanks for the great vid, as usual!

[kennith.]

Good quality video, everything is clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

[ahmedsalem]

Very nice work, clean and clear, I'm a big fan, hopefully one day you can start an electronic course.

[eqimi]

Hi dear; once again, thank you very much for your work. These lessons are very helpful for us. I wish you success. Please tell me again what new flux you use to replace the old one and please post a photo.

[Skunkola]

Grat stuff as ever, still I.lressed that there is always something new. There are a a couple of reslly good electronic channels regularly uploading new content at the moment which is great and your channel is definitely part.of that.
I thought it was a cable tie but wasn't 100% so thanks for confirming 😁

[horsthorstmann]

Yet another impressive and helpful video, thank you very much! Though I am not sure, if I will be able to actual apply your tips, I am more encouraged to try those stuff I would usually think to need a professional hot air gun/reflow oven stuff.

[GEVO]

YAY!!! Another one!!! Damn I love watching your videos :)

[RanLottem]

Thanks for the video and the clear explanation. One thing I think I'm still missing is in the first stages after you apply flux - do you tin the tip of the iron slightly and that's the tin that gets applied to the pad? Does it go from the iron to the pad because of the flux?

[dazamad]

Another great video. Do you have a picture of your solder iron tip before filing it down? Ive never done that before and cant you purchase a finer tip one. Thanks

[sylvaind]

Exellent tutorial mate!👍🏻
Can I ask what kind of solder flux you use? (It seems most flux I find is a paste as opposed to the liquid one you use.)

Thanks!

[lww]

I have learned all these welding details from you very seriously, and I am sincerely grateful to you!
