Its not funny, my daughter went on a soldering course and did exactly
that the first time she had to use a soldering iron, she was about eight
at the time.


I taught our daughter to solder (safely) when she was about 6 (much to
her Mums dismay / disbelief when daughter told her when she came in)
and she has carried on and made projects since then. We still use
daily the 'Kitchen Timer' she made years ago. ;-)

She recently treated herself to a pretty professional pyrography kit
so I wonder if her junior soldering took her that way?

She still went on to do some brick laying and plumb in a sink while there.


That was handy. ;-)

Mine (now 25) asked me recently if I could show her how to clear all
the pipework from the bath and hand basin. Someone needs to know how
to do it when I'm gone and it's not my hair blocking it up. ;-(

It should be funny because whilst she seems able to shovel a flattened
animal off the public highway, she gags at the content of a well used
drain. ;-)
