BY EDWIN RUST

After borrowing my neighbours
soldering iron and blowtorch several
times l decided l would not rely So
much on his generosity but provide my
own means of soldering connections.
I procured a transformer whose out
put was from IA TO % volts, then I
took~a common lead pencil, some No.
Is wire, some wire solder and the
handle from an ice pick and con-
structed the soldering iron as follows:
The lead was removed from the
pencil and put in the handle, then a
piece of copper wire was wound around
the lead. in a close coil two inches
from the end. The other end of the
wire was attached to one binding post
of the transformer. Likewise a piece
