G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Peter Hanse Guess you watched the latest episode... lol. About a month ago I accidentally touched the hot end of my iron with my finger, just started healing... I’m sure she will do fine. It’s nice to see makers passing down their skills. I do the same with my 10 year old son, but haven’t been brave enough to have him start soldering yet... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Peter Hanse Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 Try to watch them all. My youngest son and daughter were working on Halloween light project with strip of WS2812B and Ardunio programming. Best thing to start with on soldering is striping and tinning as does not need supper steady hand and not big fear of overheating what you are working on.

G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Peter Hanse So true. What got my son hooked was when he got a space vehicle with a detachable flying saucer fighter-type thing for for Christmas, and only a week after, the flying saucer thing stopped working. I took it apart and noticed one wire got un-soldered. He watched me reattach it, and it worked... that's all it took... lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Love the pictures. I can hear myself, honey honey honey, it's not a pencil. I can't wait till mine are old enough to teach them how to use a soldering iron. PS. nice shop. Wish I had that big of a space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jason Perry Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ken Jancef?, that inspires me to get out and start cleaning mine up. Everything keeps getting dumped there. I want to pick it all up and put it in my wife's kitchen,dont think that will go over too well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Jason Perry I just cleaned it up a few weeks ago... lol. The only area of the house that I’m “allowed” to keep a mess for a while... lol... this is my area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Peter Hanse Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Not really my home shop but my company one but since I own my own business get to use when we want. My company builds Test chambers so they got Hot, Cold, Vibration, Humidity. (+200 C to -100 C at 100 C/min). Sometimes I think I should allow our shop to be used for makers since we have Bridgeport, X-carve, hand tools, soldering irons, wiring tools, saws, liquid nitrogen, compressed air, ect. Wonder other small companies would want to do similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Shooter_FPV (Shooter_FP Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Peter Hanse That would be awesome! If I ever win the lottery that’s what I’d want to do... open a Maker Space. I don’t think there are any in my area (Rhode Island). I’d love to inspire anyone to start making, and give them the resources to do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Peter Hanse Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Anyone know of a website listing maker spaces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 +Peter Hanse, I would see if you can reach out to Aaron Newcomb?, he started a maker space and may be able to help you with with the how to let makers in problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Peter Hanse? wait a second. +200 to - 100C @ 100C/min. I missed the rate of change the first time I read that. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Peach Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Peter Hanse Hacker spaces and maker spaces are conceptually different, but many times maker spaces are listed here: wiki.hackerspaces.org - List of Hacker Spaces - HackerspaceWiki I'm sure there are other listings, but that should get you started.

G+_Peter Hanse Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Jason Perry Yes very fast change rates that is why we have Liquid Nitrogen we use it for direct injection cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
