Soldering The Ancient Art

Soldering! It sounds simple, it is simple, but only when you have been shown the basics. The older generation presumes everyone knows how to, as at some point in their life someone passed on that skill to them. But is it a skill we pass on to the younger generation. I think not

In this present throwaway society it is actually becoming a dying skill, why repair when you can replace for a few pounds? However this basic skill once learnt can save you hundreds.

Having realised this we reached out to our present engineers and asked the question, who would like to learn the basics? Michael Staley was very bold and was the first to respond and Ian Smith took up the challenge of taking the time to pass on his knowledge, Ian also took the time to get a small project for Michael to build so he could see the fruits of his labour. From the feedback this was a positive experience for both Ian and Michael.

If any of you do require any training on soldering please do ask, if there is any other skill sets you need training, again please do ask
