[sdiy] Soldering Saftey Tip Reminder

[Plutonique9]

Ditto here, I got hot solder spayed in my face by a wire flinging 
back, my eyelashes were my only saving grace. About a month later I 
put a screwdriver right through my palm (right through), trying to 
"jimmy" something out, got a tetnus right in the ass for that one 
(being on a farm at the time). I'm a "bit" more careful how I go 
about things now, you would hope so anyway.
