  • You need:
    - galvanized steel wire (or copper wire)
    - solder tin
    - flux
    - soldering iron of min 40w
    - steel ball bearing
    - some basic tools
    For the full instructions see my other way more detailed video:

    The music is so nicely in sync with the rhythm of the fall of the ball

    You make it look so easy man. I actually got inspired enough by you a while ago to actually try it, but gave up because I could not get the solder to stick to the metal wire... I even used the exact same flux as you! It was quite frustrating...

      @whynotanyting Před 2 lety +5

      Did you sand the wire? It might be that the metal has oxidized and is preventing the solder from sticking.

      You might have needed a more powerful/higher watt soldering iron. A key piece to getting the solder to wet the metal is to get the metal (not just the solder) hot enough. If you are still having issues I would also probably recommend tinning both the pieces before soldering ie. Get solder to coat the parts of the metal pieces you plan on soldering separately, then solder them together. Though this might make the finish a little less clean you could also try using rosin core solder which essentially has flux in the solder. Finally if you are using lead free solder, consider using lead/tin solder. Lead free sounds nice in theory but it’s a real pain to work with and you have to get it much hotter in my experience. Best of luck!

    Hmmm.... Can I use my cheap chinese 40 watt solder to solder that kind of wire? IIRC, the last time i tried, the tin wouldn't stick to the wire though.... What should i do?

    • @tylercoleman4833
      @tylercoleman4833 Před 2 lety

      Use at least a 60w if possible. Definite use flux (when In doubt add more). Make sure you sand and give the steel time to heat up. If both pieces aren’t heated up you might not get the solder to adhere/wet properly.
