No solder blobs to get out ;-) 

I'm sure you're just poking some fun, Tom, but seriously, there's no reason
to ever have solder fly, drip or drop off of a soldering iron. Excess is
wiped off. 

Carpet is usually the least of my worries about loose solder bits. I'm
thinking of soldering a broken connection in a ship's radar console working
through the top and directly above a dozen densely-stuffed pc boards, power
supplies, etc. 

Just like the surgeon in an operating room, that's one time you never want
to have to say "Oops.."

How did you get the solder blobs out of the living room carpet Ron?

Not wanting to hide out in a corner, I used a 2x3' drafting board, put it on
my lap in the living room with the soldering station on a TV tray, and built
my K2 while chatting with the XYL, listening to music, and even watching
some TV.
