Soldering wires together

[saturated]

Or how not to 

I needed to make my transformer bread board friendly things are getting Rube Goldberg enough around here.

So I soldered some jumper wires to the primary and secondary transformer leads.

Speaking of Rube Goldberg

So I start with my big ugly heavy (but fused) variac
You cannot view this attachment.

A power cord plugged into that with two female connectors (you guys are gonna love this)
You cannot view this attachment.

Then those cables to breadboard
You cannot view this attachment.

Which I guess all is not lost when there are plenty of opportunities to reinvent the wheel

So the morning after...I'm thinking that's not a good idea to run the primary through a breadboard

 

So now will be looking for a safe way to connect power cord from variac to primaries.

Thank you!  Never run primary through breadboard, or even PCB ideally.
