Re: 12V Soldering Iron & what'd I miss?

Or...

In the old days under the shade tree, when we needed to solder under the 
hood, we'd take a first grade pencil, or a dry cell battery and use the 
grafite from the pencil, or the carbon from the battery, hook a 5-6 ft wire 
with aligator clips to the carbon and to the positive terminal of the battery 
(reverse for pos. ground lbc's), and solder away with our 12volt arc solderer.

Note, practice on something useless first, and wear shades as you are making 
a mini arc welder.
