|Heh. Depends on how you define "harm". I have a permanent scar up my left
|wrist where I was soldering some HO scale train track together with the solder
|gun.

Well, I was thinking of soldering electronic circuits
with small components. A low wattage soldering iron, not a
gun.

This can still burn you but isn't likely to leave a lifelong
scar if you get one at an early age.

(It's been years since anyone could tell I ever dropped one
on my foot. The moral of that storyt, of course, is to always
wear full motocross armor when soldering. 8^)
