I really like where this thread has gone. Any other workbench hardware you folks recommend? I'd like a legit bench setup eventually, and this is some great discussion so far. |

Well a solder sucker is nice to have. I also keep a metal plate handy. I took one from an old jewelers kit and it's really nice because it catches stray solder, you can put the iron on it without having to worry about burning a hole in the table, ect... |

I've got a granite slab on my workbench. I play around with lampwork glass and have a surface that is impervious to heat is really nice for that. :) |

I use an old beat up Pac-Man cocktail glass top as my table topper when I solder. I have the Hakko solder station too and it is freaking awesome. For Father's day "the kids" got me a de-soldering station which has really changed the way I do cap kits. It's so nice to just heat and pull the trigger and bam a perfectly clean solder pad. |

Mind you it does the job way better now that I've got a reliable, powerful iron behind it keeping the solder liquid! I'm super jealous of some of those de-soldering tools with the motorized vacuums. |
