Perhaps a simple trip/stumble while holding a handful of sharp metal objects that happen to make contact as you reach out to prevent a full fall, clumsy me…

Fuck off Sam

Leaded solder is sooo much easier to work with. Wash your hands well after each soldering session, have a fan gently blowing over your work bench & a window cracked open & you should be (relatively) fine**. Unless you’re doing it very regularly for long periods in which case a proper extractor is worth the investment. Occasional hobby tinkering for 15-30 mins at a time over an iron is unlikely to be bad for you if you follow basic steps. **Not medical advice!

P.S. Awesome work. I can remember the first time I modded Wii 1st gen, as my first non practice soldering, I was so nervous. But the mod still works to this day, many many years later. More people should learn to solider, it’s not overly hard if you have a decent enough soldering iron, a steady enough hand, & are willing to practice. It’s so satisfying when it works!!

Unwatched on iPhone is pretty good, give it a look if you want a native app that isn’t the official one. Although I also vouch for Wipr2 as well. Stumbled on both as recommendations on here over the past 6 or so months.

Zed’s dead, baby. Zed’s dead.

This was a good tip, cheers!
