Review: TOAUTO 80W Digital Soldering Station

Image
Why you should be interested in this review:  This is a great soldering station if you are a beginner. My grandparents bought me this soldering iron for my birthday. I used cheapy soldering irons before I got this soldering station, but this soldering station is much better. First Impressions:  It is great and easy to use! This soldering station heats up in just a few seconds, while the cheap soldering irons took like ten minutes to heat up. This soldering station also has an auto shutoff function after twenty minutes. When I was trying to solder with the cheap soldering irons, I had a really hard time getting the solder to stick onto wires. This soldering station makes soldering easy. What you get in the box: Soldering Iron This is the tool that you actually solder with. You can change the tips for different applications.  Caution : you can easily burn yourself.  Control Station You can set the temperature and watch the temperature change. You can also change between Fahrenheit and C

Origami Flexagon

The Easiest Mini Bow Ever!

Image
  This is the easiest mini bow ever because you can make it with basic materials that you might already have around the house.  It only takes one step to make it! I came up with this idea myself after trying a lot of other versions on the Internet.  Mine is easier and works better, so if you make it and share with your friends, be sure to give credit to Yo Makes!   (Well, maybe it doesn't always work better, but it's *WAY* easier.) You just need: A ruler with a hole in the middle - If your ruler doesn't have a hole in the middle ,  you can drill your own hole. A rubber band  - I like to use the thicker kind because it shoots harder. Some bamboo skewers - You might already have some in your kitchen.  If you do not have bamboo skewers, You can order them here . Or I will show you how to use a pencil instead. (Help support my site by clicking on and purchasing from the affiliate links above.) First, you string the bow by stretching the rubber band across the bow.  Ta da! Y
