[Ql-Users] qStripper has a new web site!

2012-05-10 Thread Norman Dunbar
Why not? Sourceforge offer me free web sites, a forum, and lots of other 
stuff like bug trackers etc.


I've taken advantage of the web site option and created 
http://qstripper.sourceforge.net which is a dedicated web site for 
qStripper.


Cheers,
Norm.

That was my reaction when I heard Lee make the remark at the Quanta 
Workshop in Manchester. Actually, the notion of whacking the board 
against something to make the chips/sockets fall out after heating was 
what tickled me most!


I have managed to fry a few components using just a soldering iron 
over the years, never mind a blowtorch :-)

At work we had multiple de-soldering tools which fitted on a soldering 
iron and had holes linked to a suction machine; the tool was applied and 
it left it solder-free to then just pull out (usually).  In the lab (and 
at home) it was common to work pin by pin melting the solder and then 
knocking sharply when most of the solder would come out; it was 
practically as good as a suction de-solderer and one didn't have to 
re-load it.
