One Darwin lifted iron from fire by handle and transferred the hot bit (no pun intended) into the other hand. A Long lived soldering iron still in use. At least less human damage than when in 2009, when using explosive welding to join 6 inch copper wires in Ethiopia a Darwin stood on copper when explosive fired (however no 'HR reports' etc there, quite casual HSE requirements as long as you did not disturb old buried mosques, which are uncovered when building refineries). -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
