Here's the circuit: The mains transformer is heavy enough to provide a good weight at the bottom of the box. I put an "Antex" soldering iron "spring" holder on the top of the box, and the whole thing made of a neat, compact soldering station. I have used toroid transformers in the latest ones I made.

I refuse to build power supply’s because it’s the 1 thing I don’t have to make, I’m definitely not going to be making my own soldering iron station aswell . Nice circuit but not for me.
