Today's discovery...


If you put amps from your Resistance Soldering Unit on the 4.5V setting through an LNWR lost wax casting of a lamp iron, it *very* rapidly collapses.

Which is a shame, as using the 3V setting hadn't allowed the solder to make a strong enough join.  It's a good job that I have spares...

  1. Think we all have occasional moments like this!

  2. James, the second one was sacrificed to the Carpet God after I'd filed the casting tidy, and it was only on the third attempt that it was successfully soldered in place. Indeed sometimes you *do* have days like these...
