Electronics - Soldering helper

Just as people named Bill turn out to be excellent at welding, it turns out people named Pete turn out to be excellent at helping you with soldering.

I recommend finding someone named Pete to help you with soldering if you can. If you do go looking for a Pete, try to get one that makes you one of these.

It's a clamp.

But not just any clamp.

It's a clamp for holding circuit boards.

You clamp in your board...

place your components in...

bend the legs a little to hold them in place...

Then flip the board over to solder them in place.

The most amazingly useful bit of ongoing help anyone could provide.

Thanks people named Pete, wherever you are.
