Making progress on the LED tower. The template is…interesting. Started off pretty sus but a little blue-tac steadied things enough to get the rings built. Otherwise I might have drop kicked it.
I also managed to remove a chunk of skin from the inside of my knuckle opening my laundry cart. Tis but a flesh wound and I probably would have forgotten all about it, had I not needed the isopropyl alcohol to clean up the flux. Less than pleasant.
I managed to drop off glob of solder when hooking up the power. I tried the suction removal but was clumsy keeping it heated and coordinating left handed without damaging the ring. I like the desolder braid a lot better. Took a couple rounds, but got everything pulled enough to retest successfully.
TIL that Roxette is Sweden’s #2 musical export and that Marie Fredriksson died in 2019 after a prolonged battle with a brain tumor 😢
