Soldering Project – Part 3

In tech today I finally soldered my avocado project. I was very scared to begin with because solder heats up to about 800°. Mr. Calvert my tech teacher had told us and warned us about how hot the solder was going to heat up to and told us how to be safe using it. For example he said to ware your hair back and to put on safety googles. Every class there where lists of kids names that where waiting to solder. Ever class after I had finished shaping my wires for the avocado I tried to come early so I could put my name at the top of the list and get to solder that class. Overall I thought that this solder experience got me over my fears of soldering and taught me a lot.

Soldering Project – Part 1

Recently in Tech I started to create a design for my solder project. I used this app called Vectornator. On Vectornator I used my teacher’s 1 by 1 perfect circle for an outline and worked inside it. We had a limit of 5 wire lines so I had to figure out how to make an avocado with only 5 lines of wire. This worked out surprisingly well, at first I thought I needed 6 pieces of wire but then I figured out how to only use five. Also all the pieces of wire had to be touching each other so that you could solder the pieces together.
