For more comfortable work with an electric soldering iron when soldering radio components and wires, a home-made metal stand is useful, which is very convenient, while not taking up much space on the table.
The convenience of this stand also lies in the fact that there is a tin coil inside it - now everything you need for soldering will always be at hand.
To make a home-made metal stand, the author uses a section of a square-shaped profile pipe. In the profile, you need to drill a hole for the soldering iron tip, and also weld the holder from a piece of strip.
The main stages of work
Further, the master cuts a square from the plate, in the center of which he drills a hole for the diameter of the stud. There will be a tin coil on the hairpin. And then the workpiece must be welded to the end of the profile pipe. The welder grinds the welds.
Well, then everything is extremely simple. In the side wall of the profile, it is necessary to drill a hole for the tin wire. After that, the coil itself is installed. The pin is fixed with the wing nut.
So, from improvised means, you can craft a useful thing. For more information on how to make a simple and convenient metal stand for an electric soldering iron, we recommend that you watch in the video on our website.
