Answers: How do I build a portable soldering station?

• Shop infrastructure and organization
• Portable soldering station build
• Plywood selection for woodworking projects
• Integrating cordless tool batteries into shop projects

What it concludes

• Butane soldering pens heat up quickly and are quite reliable.
• Pine-cored plywood has poor cohesive strength, voids, and provides no glue holding infrastructure compared to voidless high-end plywood.
• Leaving the DeWalt battery in the DeWalt 12-volt adapter for extended periods, such as three days, will drain the battery to an extreme degree where it won't be rechargeable.
