Answers:
-Why no motor?
I wanted it to keep it as simple as possible for everyone! Future video will cover this
-These are no basic tools!?
You may or may not have a soldering iron but I consider something that you can buy for under 20 bucks pretty basic. A drill is something everyone has or at least know someone with one :)
-What soldering iron do I need?
Almost any will do but a fine point is recommended.
-Where do you get that universal flux?
You don't need to have this specific type. Most will do. Or try some different brands and see what works the best. If anyone knows a good combination sold in the USA let me know!
-What is the base made of?
Its black MDF
