Ever wondered how solder — the tiny metal wire that holds our electronics and plumbing together — is actually made? In this video, we take a deep dive into the full process of how solder is produced, from mining raw ores like tin and lead, all the way to refining, alloying, and forming the solder wire you see in electronics and hardware stores. Whether you're into electronics, metalwork, or just love learning how everyday things are made, this one's for you!
