Solder – Tech (No.4)
In Tech I made a solder person! I started by cutting an eight inch and a one and a half inch strip of gold wire. After that I used a pencil to wrap the wire around to create the person’s head. From that I bent a shape for the legs and made a stand. The one and a half inch wire was soon to be the arms. Once I had made the arm position I went over to the solder area. I had to clip the body still so that the arms wouldn’t end up in the wrong place and wonky. I have to admit that I was rather frightened of the solder iron. You absolutely do NOT want to get burnt by one of these as they can reach up to around 842ºF! Even though it would be horrible to burn yourself on, this makes it easy to melt the solder. Solder is pretty much a glue for metal!
