Well im sold on the idea. I will update in another year or so. It will take me that long in soldering at least.

I used to do these big solder ‘castles’. Similar to drip sand castles with flair, lol. I was good at melting solder, the easy part, and started using q-tips wet with ice water in my mouth to pull solder blobs on my iron into rising sphere’s and rings, etc. etc. until I had a big multi level sculpture. Try it! It’s so much fun. Once you wet/liquefy a big drop start to pull it and cool it as you go. You can literally pull a big drop of liquid solder a few inches in a line, circle, spiral, etc. Then just keep building! Use a fan to pull the smoke away from your face.
