How to make wire soldering iron. The solder head a piece of thick copper wire. A 12V 20A DC adapter is used as power source here. Take the iron rod and make a dent between it so that the lead gets a base.

This video shows how to make a simple soldering iron using easily available materials. Now you can try using it and see if it works for you. And today this can be the primary graphic.
