My youngest's aunt bought them a solder-your-own-game-console kit and I am terrified because my soldering skills are terrifying.
But I'm gonna pick up some soldering helping hands and a few other things I've been missing and we're gonna try to do this. 🤞
These are the helping hands I settled on, after reading a bunch of reviews and such. They have a few upgraded models like one that's a big slab of steel with repositionable arms that magnetize to the base, but I thought this one was a good choice. https://www.quadhands.com/products/quadhands
Also spent part of the day rounding up whatever soldering supplies I had. Noticed the screw that holds the tip in on my old Radio Shack (RIP) soldering pencil was stripped, so if we have trouble, might need to buy new…
