Soldering

One of those 'Helping Hands' thingys with the clamps etc are ok for most soldering jobs, you then being able to hold both parts and the required solder and iron without the addition of several new arms of your own.
However on an american site I saw a while back, some guy suggested sticking the 'hands' thing onto a much bigger/heavier wieght, this giving more stability....I did this and it transforms the tool no end, I opted to use the base of an old anglepoise lamp but anything heavy will do.
