We finally started the HRW Land Barge Proxy build. Part 1, we start the brass chassis... I suck at soldering.

Good morning Marty. Holding parts down with a squared off popsicle stick until the solder cools helps keep the heat on the object you are soldering. Anything metal draws heat away from the chassis. I can't wait to see the finished chassis after you resolder it with your new iron.

Just a couple tips Marty, like others say you need more heat. 25W is good for wiring, but 45-50W is what you want for chassis building. Good luck with your new iron. it should make your soldering easier. For holding parts in place while soldering, the cheap bamboo chop sticks from an oriental restaurant works well. Sometimes cutting a notch or a flat angle on the end helps to hold a part too. I've used round BBQ skewers too, but I don't find they work as well. Enjoy the rest of your build. I'll follow your other videos as you release them.

Thanks for the tips, Bill! All really good things to use.

Yeah Marty, more heat!! You just need a better iron. Mine has a temp read out and I run it at about 800 degrees. You’ll get it figured out. Gonna be a cool lookn barge.

Thanks Tadd!!! That is what I needed!

@tonytibbs1974 3 ай бұрын

I completely agree with Tadd, I brought a quality one with temperature adjustment and it really is a game changer from the cheap adjustable one I got from Lidls. I never clean it with damp sponge, always clean it in the gold scourer after each pass. I know some people will say that’s not necessary but if the tip is clean then you’re half way there. Your confidence will change big time, trust me.

Marty, I like the sliding chassis idea.

I know other builders have their own ways, but I use an 80watt Weller Iron with a home made solid 10mm copper tip. It sounds overkill, but it's not, it's all about the angle of the tip grind, how much tip you keep in contact with the work and how long you leave the tip on the brass. 🙂 I have a 25 and 40watt as well, but they are mostly used for wires and very small jobs, chassis are done on the 80.

@twolinesslotcars 3 ай бұрын

Rob, How did you make your own tip? I am really curious..do you have a video where your soldering iron is visible so i can see the homemade tip? I have an 80 watt soldering iron but the tip is too big.

This should be cool when finished. I bet you use some flux paste on the parts you are soldering and it will flow and make the solder work much better.

@twolinesslotcars 3 ай бұрын

I hope so! Yes, acid flux.. it is kind of nasty to work with…

@BSslotcars 3 ай бұрын

@@twolinesslotcars Hi it looks like it's coming out nice, if you don't have a vent station at least put a fan blowing lightly from the side of you so it blows the smoke past the chassis and to the side so you don't breath it in...even do this when soldering. 👍👍

@billffromnh 3 ай бұрын

When you solder any joint with iron or steel (piano wire) you need an acid flux in order for the metal to get etched so the solder bonds to it. You can also use an acid flux on brass/copper joints too, except wiring. Rosin & paste fluxes work on brass/copper joints as well. Not all paste fluxes are the same & both acid & rosin flux are available as liquids. I recommend you read the labels before purchasing.
