Using the Brymen BM235 to measure my PACE soldering iron's tip temperature

This video includes two clips I made for a viewer to show using a typical DMM to measure a soldering iron's tip temperature. Also the section of video they referred to has been included as well. Both are K-types. The one used in the first clip was provided with a Fluke handheld meter. The second was custom made. I wanted to try and get the thermal mass of the TC lower. Even with the smaller wire, it took a fair amount of time to heat up. The cover is made of ceramic. Solder and thermocouples: http://concorde-electronics.com/blog/...
