“How do I get started with soldering?” This is one of the top questions we get in our inbox. Some of the questions we’d like to ask before answering would be: What are you planning to solder? Where will you be soldering? What is your current experience with a torch? Without being able to ask the questions, here’s our answer, including a free video on how to create the best soldering set up.

Soldering is not as hard or ominous as it seems to be. It’s also not that expensive to get started. There are some basics you’ll need as well as safety guidelines you should follow. This video will offer an overview of the things that would be good to have on hand as you embark on your soldering journey and what a soldering set up could look like for you.
