As my eyes have been aging with the rest of me, I have invested in this useful contraption for most of my soldering tasks.

Magnetic connectors to the baseplate, flexible gooseneck armrs, powerful LED lighting, and a welcome magnifying glass bring a little bit of joy back to the tedium of cable making and repair.

I'm getting ready to cut all the cables to length on my FM9 board so I'll finally get to use it for once!

Man, I wish I would have bought dozens of feet of cable years ago. Can never have too much
cabling.

I got a great deal on a 500 foot roll of cable and a box of ends about 30 years ago. I haven’t seen a single one of the dozens of cables I made from it in over 15 years. I don’t have a clue where they all went, nor what happened to a lot of the cables I have bought since then.

I was making those 3Monkeys Solderless cables for a while.

They're good for pedalboards, but the one between the guitar and teh amp kept cutting out.

I'd have to keep unscrewing the plug, cutting 1/4" off the cable and putting it back together.

That happens on the soldered ones too, but only when you forgot a spare.
