[mahuti]

 Wow good story 

[quarterback]

I made a soldering station for less than $1! most of the stuff i found around the home!

This step-by-step is pretty complex.

[Tailgunner]

Lemme guess, a soldering iron and a light dimmer?

[Hoagie_one]

You guys got me crackin up...lol

[NY_in_TX]

For example here's a byo camera phone for $1!!!

I'm going to deduce that he tried to attach a pic that 'splained everything, but was unsuccessfull, then drowned.

[NY_in_TX]

actually I'm really interested.  my solder station is the kitchen counter and a peice of foil. 

it's all in good fun.

Mine's a hunk of wood with two nails in it and a sponge.

Make sure to submit this to the "Examples" page post haste!

[mahuti]

I've designed, tested and implimented a modular mobile soldering station. It's a piece of foil with folded over edges, and a tiny metal stand for my iron.

[NY_in_TX]

I just trademarked "solder"

please cease and desist. 

 

[Crazy Cooter]

  I just Trademarked "cease and desist"^TM 

[Shape D.]

I just Tradmarked Trademarked

[Crazy Cooter]

I made my own ^TM system for less than $1! most of the stuff i found around the home!

[cholin]

LOL people are pretty upset about that   By the time we go through this, the cost of the main message would be like $50 to use all those trademarks lol.  I was going to say "I trademarked trademark" but I thought it would be hi-jacking this thread, but since nobody cares, I trademark the word I   The payment is a low one-time order of just $299.99 US!

[tetsujin]

I'm sorry, I've trademarked the US currency system.  I'd like a 1% royalty on all transactions carried out in US dollars.

Including the transactions to me, for the royalties.

And the royalties on the royalties, I'd like royalties on those, too.

Of course, that works out to less than 1.02%, so maybe it doesn't really matter.

That will be $20 from each of you for the use of the word tradmarked

[cholin]

Wonder if its possible to trademark the TM symbol   Then its $299.99 * 6, especially from Shape D.

Oh yeah before I forget

Come to think of it, this post is getting out of hand

[Gunstar Hero]

 

Okay, okay, move on, nothing to see here...

 

[mahuti]

Yeah, I liked it more when we were mocking cheap mods.

note:  We haven't actually SEEN the $1 soldering station yet....this thread may still have life!

[danny_galaga]

Ok wow 29 replies holy s***. ok if you couldn't think of this then a 14 year old is more creative than you.......

Ok really simple, no really

MATERIALS
hammer
Coat hanger
u shaped nails
sponge
Wood - cut to you own size. make sure you have 2
clamp
glue
(I used Some scrap MDF and some timber Floorboard but any piece of wood is good)

Ok Firstly bend and cut the coat hanger so you have one piece. Now get one end and bend it so you have a loop. Now go down the wire further (lets say the length of the tip of the iron the the handle.) and make another loop. Now with the bottom bit of the hanger bend it so you have a 45 degree angle. Now get your piece of wood and u shaped nails and start nailing the "soldering station" to the piece of wood. Next get your hopefully, identical piece of wood and glue it to the base. ok it's nearly done. now for the sponge holder. cut out a square from your sponge. next trace the square onto the base. get some u shaped nails and put 2 nails for every side and 1 for the corners.

Phew take a breather! I spray painted mine black to match.

oh you wanted pics yeah?


I trademark trademark and posting on forums so you all owe me $100 AUD ha how do ya like that?

Good Job!

Don't mind the old men that post here    We occasionally just need to blow off some steam.  The coathanger stand is nicely done.

[NY_in_TX]

Nicely Done! 

Yeah, don't mind us we're just having fun. 

Dude, that's so much better than what I've been doing. 

I'm making a soldering station tonight. ... except mine's gonna have a 4 way and a trackball, and a....

[Sasquatch!]

Hey, that's actually pretty clever, lp_maniac.  Good job!

I trademark trademark and posting on forums so you all owe me $100 AUD ha how do ya like that?

Oh wait, when you said it cost you "under $1", I didn't know you were talking about that AUD "funny money"! 

[mahuti]

That's about the same.

[DrewKaree]

OOOOHHHHHHHH, now I get it...see, when you put it that way, you actually didn't make one for a buck, your parents bought a ton of stuff and had it lying around for you to use.  Yeah, my kids have a free socket set, drill press, table saw....you know...stuff they didn't pay for either.

hammer

$15-$35

Coat hanger

Mom probably paid a lot in dry cleaning to get your "free" coat hanger

u shaped nails

Dad probably paid more than a buck for his box

sponge

Mom probably appreciates having to buy another one to replace the one that mysteriously disappeared

Wood - cut to you own size. make sure you have 2

That branch that fell in the yard, good job in drying it in your kiln and cutting it to the shape you needed.  Kudos

clamp

My kids bent two of mine so they're unusable.  I just went to the store and grabbed another one, since they were "free".  Those shiny bracelets the policeman wanted to give me....I just told him he wasn't my type, and I'm married....to a woman.

glue

You sniffed too much....see what happens when you use the "free" stuff?

(I used Some scrap MDF and some timber Floorboard but any piece of wood is good)

Thankfully they're still giving away samples at Home Depot and yo....what?  Well I didn't see the sticker there, and the alarm didn't go off so....well FINE then, but it WAS free!



Good job 

In case you do not realize I'm just messing with you, this is my disclaimer that you, sir, are a big fat doody head if you take offense to my joke, and if you show the slightest bit of temper, you will be giving up your right to be free from getting pantsed in public and left to walk home in the snow....uphill....both ways

[mahuti]

So Drew,

.... are your posts microprinted for security purposes? If I take your post to the bank will they honor its full face value?

[cholin]

lol, well, he did build it for one dollar, but BYO stands for build YOUR own, so therefore we need to be able to build one for a TOTAL value of $1, which did not happen, so I call this a lie   I think he was merely showing off that he did build one, in which case, yes its very nice, I like it.

[daywane]

its better than my damp rag on a plate
