Re: Soldering frustrations

You could rig something with a machinist's X-Y table and height transfer
stand that would let you position everything as you want, then drop and
raise the soldering iron -- all with mechanical assistance. A modified
arbor press might be better than the height transfer stand, since you
could use a lever to raise and lower the soldering iron.

Check out Enco <http://www.use-enco.com> for ideas. You can find the
same items used on ebay, though Enco's prices are very good.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this pencil soldering with clamps or something? I have tried to use several different types of alligator clips, but cripes, it takes me 20 minutes to work out how to hold three different things to make a 30 second solder. Solving the clamping problem takes 10 times longer to solve than anything else.

I'm open to ideas.
