How to make Cheap Soldering Iron Tips (including SMD version)

Here is how you can make new tips for your soldering iron for literally only a few cents each! Including a special, bifurcated tip for desoldering SMD components without needing special soldering tweezers.

This is the first video I made entirely for YouTube, it's less than perfect but it's also the first video I ever made featuring narration, music and action all at the same time.

Please like, comment, share... to keep me motivated on my YouTube journey!
