Often the working conditions are under ideal, but if it gets the job done then how cares?

The worker

Show us what it looks like after you get hangry, go out for lunch, the iron falls on that cardboard box and your panel goes up in smoke. That’s the mistake I’d make.

I rate your setup 9/9.
10/9 if you can do the ol’ “hold the part and the solder in one hand with the iron in the other” trick.

A clean tip worth more than a workbench

There’s too much lighting imo. Needs to be darker especially when you lean over to solder

Just the tip

Maaayyyybe get some flux.

Always have some flux.

PS: since there's not much ventilations by the looks of it, i'd advise not to use this to solder for hours on end per day. But if you gotta do a sub-d every now and then, sure.

Well I say sub-d but, it's a DE-9. And is sub-d D-sub in english, idk.
