Hola Roco - I like your design and thank you for sharing it with us. I have not made such a station yet, but what I did make for my soldering iron was an outlet controlled by an electronic timing device. I once forgot to switch the iron off when distracted, and although no other damage than a burnt out element resulted, it did teach me a lesson.I also include Residual Current Device protection (GFCI) because in the UK our irons that operate at mains voltage are required to be earth-grounded, and a three core flexible is a must. Saludos.

That is badass! I need to try that...

Thank you roco for sharing

very very INGENIOUS!!!!

Helpful thanks 👍

amazing the works great

good idea

thank you

parabéns amigo, ficou ótimo. você pode adicionar um watimetro no projeto para acompanhar em tempo real o consumo em watts do ferro de solda, pois há placas sensíveis a alta temperatura. sua ideia ficou ótima. DEUS te abençoe por compartilhar conhecimento.

good job thank you..

Very Cool

I like the video thanks for the idea and I might make it keep up the videos

Smart!

Guys this is an awesome thing yes. But use your creativity to customize it to your liking and with the features you want. I'm sure you can add voltage meters and other useful things, like some storage for your solder and small components. I'd love to watch the videos you guys would make.

nice

nice video i would like to know if you will work and one soldering station with pid temperature. controller

Great video! I've NEVER made anything electrical and even I can do this. [Michaiah Broadaway made a comment @ your spelling. And He thinks You need help.] Keep up the good work. Thank you.

thanks, i want this for light, can i use this for table fan speed controller ?

This is great project but there is no connection to ground in this circuit. that receptacle might let you get into trouble plugging in a device needing grounding. Be careful!

While this does produce an adjustable iron, it doesn't give you the single defining advantage of a real soldering station: thermal feedback. A real station has a temperature sensor in the tip so that it can detect the temperature drop when you touch a joint, and then feed in more power to maintain tip temperature. This makes a HUGE difference in the ease of soldering. Also, because this design uses a 2 prong cord but 3 prong outlets, it's possible to plug in a grounded device and expose line current to exposed metal parts. :(

nowaday you can buy get hakko 936 handle cheaply and build the temperature control to drive it or just buy diy kit and build it yourself using old laptop charger or there is one popular re-purpose of apple laptop charger to power it, slightly more money there is hakko T12 with A616 controller that come as kit with the tip you can build yourself, one thing I dont like with this direct AC soldering station is that this thing can pass current you get shock just holding the soldering wire while touching it and that also can damage delicate component with thin tolerance, those hakko uses 24VDC and heated by ceramic material so there is no current passing through the tip, if you like modding you can just buy the inner circuit of the T12 or 936 and modify your handle to use either Hakko T12 or 936 element thats much cheaper

I think its a wonderful solder station! The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is having a wet sponge next to the outlet.

Use the electronic dimmer with led lights ?

Right but I tried to measure the voltage and my probes tripped the breaker when going through this. Wondering if I did something wrong or if it's just the wiring inside.

this is not a temp.controller. u r only adjusting the voltage. u need a thermo loop. a dimmer switch decreases and increases VOLTAGE only

@Michael W the controller has a triac which cut off ac voltage at different phases and so that output voltage at heating element changes and can control the heatingof it.

I'm pretty sure that you spell (off) like that and not how you spelled it oof!!!! LMAO

so this is somehow cheaper not including the tools to make it than a wlc100? a much higher quality iron in itself than what you are using. i suppose if you are in a pinch and you have an iron that works and you can power and no station this is an option. otherwise spend the money elsewhere: www.amazon.com/Weller-WLC100-40-Watt-Soldering-Station/dp/B000AS28UC/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1455708747&sr=1-1&keywords=wlc100

I hope you aren't soldering anything important with this thing...

Not a good idea to install open wire connections in a wooden box. Get a metal box and cover instead and properly ground them. Be safe, not sorry.
