While I am younger, I also used a wood burning tool for soldering a few times.? My soldering iron had been taken away as punishment for something (I no longer recall), and I had a project I wanted to finish...? it didn't have a proper tinned tip, of course, but worked well and became my backup iron.? I still don't understand the appeal of charring wood!
