[Boatanchors] soldering iron safety

[Bert Klawa]

That's a practical solution, except a lot of the wiring in most residences
was put in for the lowest possible cost to keep from burning the house down
within the 1 year warranty period.
The light switch probably is 15 amp rated and made someplace in the world
with quality control limited to payment received upon shipping,
The workshop loading may be pushing the old and worn, 15 Amp circuit
loading. The circuit probably was close to it's NEC rating at the sale of
the house. Bert Klawa
