Right now I'm working on putting together a z80 computer kit. It's all predesigned stuff, straight from a kit, so I'm just soldering everything together. Everything is through-hole so the soldering is a breeze. I did manage to melt the tip of my $10 Sears soldering iron but I ended up just getting a slightly nicer Yihua station.

It's still only half put together, my car ended up breaking down so I was putting most of my project time into that for a while. Now though my car is running fine so I finally have time for more physical projects, and I should be able to get this computer assembled and running pretty soon
