He be huffin' dim fumes of lead, oh yeah...Step 1. Plug in soldering pencil and wait till it reaches working temperature.
Step 2. Go ahead and stick soldering pencil to your hand. You know it is going to happen anyway, and it's best to get that out of the way so you can concentrate on the work to be done.
Nice pictures, but if you're going to do any serious soldering. be sure to have a wet sponge handy. Keep your tip clean, and you won't get any bad solder joints or STD's.

From the looks of that bench, besides the sponge, this guy better have an industrial fire extinguisher handy as welll
That tip size gives you away. I'm working on 0.5mm pin pitch under a microscope. With TWO irons at a time..
So there !!!!

To heck with that. I peeked through a magnifying glass for 15 years, chasing electrons and replacing components. Rough on the eyes but the scare over "solder fumes" isn't as bad as people think.

After about 20 years of that, I demanded my doctor do a lead test on a routine blood panel.
Nothing detected.. And I've sucked a lot of solder fumes. Even ate pizza in the solder holding hand..
