Craftsman 20V Soldering Iron - Hot Technology - LIVE Stream 04-16-2022 Ask the Builder

Hey, good morning. How you doing? This is Tim Carter, and I'm hoping you can hear me okay

Actually, I've got the fancy microphone working today. Could you let me know if the sound is okay? I know there's two people there

Could you just type into the chat and say sound is good or thumbs up or something? Let me know

curious to make sure that the audio was okay in this live stream

Lots going on. Lots of really interesting stuff. Should be a really interesting live stream

One of the things we're going to talk about, but not right at this instant, is here's a brand

new cordless. You know, we've been talking about cordless tools a lot here

And this is a cordless soldering iron from... craftsman, right? So very interesting tool. I'm going to talk about that in a little bit

Some really interesting technology in this thing. And it's really perfect for, you know

mother days right around the corner father days around the corner If you don have a soldering iron at your home something wrong All right so how the sound

Can you hear me okay? Let me know if the sound's okay

Come on. I got to know. I got to know. Hello. Tell me if that sounds fine

Simple to do. Just type it in the chat, you know. Maybe you're watching the stream and you're not a YouTube person so you don't

you're not able to type in the chat. I don't know. I'm just going to keep going and I hope that the sounds okay

Just before I went live, I have a, I don't know if you are aware of this

A lot of people aren't, I find sometimes kind of shocking, but there's a thing

it's been around for years called Google Alerts. You can set up, okay, sounds great

Thanks, Bob. That's all I needed to know. you can set up, you can go to Google Alerts, so just type that into Google

And if there's something that you're interested in, I don't care what it could be

model railroading, I don't know, whatever, soldering irons. And if you you can set up an alert so that and you can customize it so you don get overwhelmed But anytime a new page a new video whatever appears online and those words that you put in are in it Google sends you an email saying hey check this out

So you can see how it's, that's a really effective tool if you're doing media scanning

So I have one, of course, set up for Ask the Builder. you know, and of course I get all kinds of stupid emails about somebody may write a story

that says, I don't know, just some general interest story and says

make sure you ask the builder if he's going to do this or that, you know, blah, blah

So I get those like trash can those. So today, though, just moments ago, just like 15 minutes ago or less

I get a Google alert about this page. This brand new page that just got published, all right

So this is a big, big, big national newspaper that just recently picked up my column

They don't run it every week. But they pay for the column

They don't pay a lot. But they when they find a column that they think is going to really help people they publish it And look go to that link right there

And that's a photograph of my deck that I shot. I was standing at the top

It was so dangerous. I'm standing literally on the top of an eight-foot step ladder

trying to get this panoramic view of a deck with a lake in a background

It's a really good photo. Anyway, and that's all treks transcend. But it's a really interesting, really interesting article online, and you probably ought to read it

So that's pretty exciting, really, really exciting that that is in there

We'll see what happens. And if you want to go there and comment, like if you want to go to that link and leave a comment

some positive comment about Ask the Builder, I'd sure appreciate it. That's all

So, you know, in any way that I, you know, you think I can help people. It's really kind of funny in that photo

I noticed down in the lower right-hand corner, you know, I didn't think about it when I

composed a photo, but I've got it. My 20-foot-long aluminum pick is in the lower right-hand corner with a board on

I'm just noticing that now. But anyway
