    Ha! Shawn, you are a Hacker/Geek for sure. First thing I saw was that giant screw holding the tip in on your soldering iron. Great… I’m still smiling.. Darwin..

      Thanks Dar, but it would be poor form if I took credit for something I didn’t do. The video was filmed at Pumping Station: One (a hackerspace in Chicago). Another member of the space was the one to use the screw to hold the replacement soldering tip in place.

    Great novel & practical application of solar power. Now for a solar TV-B-Gone mod! ;)
