I plan to keep the concrete floor in pristine condition by completely covering it with a protective layer of tools, fasteners, and unfinished projects.

Correction to garage door size in post #30,461: (275 x 275mm) should be (275 x 275cm).

Plan: Organise everything, keep the shop neat, and finish my projects.
Reality: None of the above.
I take that back. I occasionally get things organized for a nanosecond or two, until some mysterious force rearranges everything when I turn my back.

Got the wee AxxSolder board up and running with my JBC NT115 handles.
Next up is an adapter for M18 batteries so I have a mobile but good soldering iron (for reference the base station for these soldering irons retails at circa £1000, the handles are about £100 and the tips are about £20-30/pop).
Here's my current work in progress
Running flat out at 22W a 5Ah battery should last about 4h

Did you assemble that board or is someone selling them? I bought a couple of JBC tips years ago after Marco Reps posted a video, but I never actually did anything with them. The plan was a station just like your render, but on a DeWalt battery.

A friend bought them via JLC or Tindie or something like that (the blanks) and posted one down to me. There's also a link to a mouser shopping basket for all the components in the github repo. I specced a different FET for the USB-PD switching as the one used wasn't available from the usual suspects (the next one down which just had a slightly lower max current rating I think but well within spec for the board's requirements). I soldered it all up, there are quite a few QFN parts so ended up buying a hot air pencil (been meaning to for a while) and used some solder paste to reflow them.
I'd come across someone who'd reverse engineered the tips and how to drive them so was planning on designing one and then came across AxxSolder and it was a bit of a no-brainer to just build it, especially after my mate donated a board to me.

Today , I became involved in some pack - carburising of some press tooling, seeing as how they'd been machined from some sort of mild steel , and wouldn't harden at all on the normal sort of method for O.1 .
Anyway, they are now glass - hard , and probably much better for being case - hardened than through - hardened and subsequently tempered...

That would be great if you can spare the parts (Depending how you price your labour of course
), I'll PM you. I've got the kit to do it at work but may lack the skill, I only really desolder for fault finding rather than assemble anything functional.

I don't have them in stock but can order them in easily enough.That would be great if you can spare the parts (Depending how you price your labour of course

Just dug out the tips I bought, can only find one, and apparently I cheaped out on the handpiece and started making my own.
I better order a proper one.

So I made this.

Due to the Honda diesel being a wrist breaker to start and a bit of a pain to move about I set about converting the thing to PTO drive and 3 point attachment.
Unfortunately I also made a cock up, I've got a 90° 1:2.3(ish) ratio pto input and belt drive output which would be perfect for this application. Except the saw is going to run backwards. You can't see it but there's already a nice tensioning plate on the bottom that held the engine (left hand side). I think I'll probably flip it over and come up with some shields to fire the sawdust away from it.
Neater solution would be to extend the saw shaft but not sure it's worth it for the moment.
