I have to give you a HUGE commendation for teaching soldering "correctly". I personally have 17years of hand soldering in my technician working life. In my working years I was hand soldering cellular phone prototypes, I was working with a group of engineers, who I "ended up" teaching how to solder correctly. Some of them got it, but most of them did not, so I was the "main person" to go to, to get their soldering job done. I am now retired. Keep up the good work! There are a bunch of others on YouTube that are teaching soldering, but are teaching it wrong.

Just discovered this channel - I'm looking into soldering electronics, but I never have before. This video and the previous one in the series have been immensely helpful.

Subbed and thank you!

I was soldering a keyboard PCB and ended up burning one of the traces. I searched YouTube for some tips and stumbled upon your channel. Several hours of watching your videos later and I am a big fan! I love your super chill attitude and personality. Thank you for doing these. Oh, and I fixed that broken trace like a pro. 🙏

Nice build and unexpected funny ending LOL

[wildcat]

These videos are becoming my soldering bible! Love this channel.

[VaskoKasko]

I'm studying electronics in school and this has been a godsend.

[gradyrm]

I'm still not sure how this is called beginner. You're showing great techniques and explaining how it's done. I enjoy watching.

ALWAYS trust a fella that films from his workstation. Your work is inspiring and so very helpful. Thanks buddy, this is amazing.

[ForestWoodworks]

I like to take notes while watching Bruce's videos.

Note in the flux category:
"Clean excess flux with isopropyl alcohol, toothbrush, and a bit of a wipe"

Perfect. I love these tutorials. So helpful and I was literally able to make informed purchases just now, even as a beginner. 😎

Im so new ive never soldered a thing...and non of any vid i saw told me you actually solder it on the bottom...i love this dude

[BennyPowers]

I'm really enjoying your calm demeanor and thorough explanations

[TastetheInferno]

One of my good friends is your American Doppelgänger. It cracks me up every time I watch your videos. Thank you for all the great content!

[andrewlisenby]

This is the best series I've seen for a beginning hobbyist. Thank you for the time and effort you invested in creating these videos.

I just got a promotion at my job to manufacturing assembly not only is it mechanical and fab but also electronics and soldering etc. I have residential and commercial 120/240v wiring experience but no low voltage electronic soldering experience. Don’t really know anything about resistors and that sort of thing. They know and I know that I’m competent enough to be on the job trained. So I’m trying to Absorb knowledge from YouTube in conjunction with on the job. I hate being a newbie haha. Your series seems like a great intro so far.

[futrellr]

Your PCB holder just made my life so much easier.
I love watching you work, you put so much care into every component.
Thank you, sir!

[anthonymartellio]

I literally decided to start messing around with electrical components a few days ago and decided to look up some videos to educate myself before just jumping in on my own. So glad that I found this video! You do an amazing job at getting your thoughts across and the video is easily digestible; I've currently just got done watching your beginners guide part 1&2, back to back, and I'm ready to consume more! Well done sir.

best soldering videos ive seen so far keep it up Bruce

[kernelpanc]

Part 1 and 2, really helpful. Thanks again.

[doverivermedia]

Thank you so much Bruce. These two informative and insightful videos are exactly what I needed. Uk

[TheElectrician]

Again thank you from both of us. This gives us confidence going into this world of solder and electronics.
Thanks Bruce.
