Is there a "Dummies guide to soldering and circuit boards"?


Recommended Posts

So I have done a couple of soldering projects and both of them have not turned out so great. Just wondering if there is a good online guide or some place I can look to get some decent tips.

I know a lot of it just has to do with practice, but I feel as though I am missing out on a lot of the subtle little things that will make soldering in general a lot easier on me.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

He does a reenactment of it at meets too, great fun.

What's sad is I know you really mean that Ryan.

Good idea. Micheal (ingwe) had a full head of hair before that terrible soldering accident. If he had only read the tutorials first. :eek:

Not to mention my blood-sugar was normal and I slept normally...

Have you checked Youtube? Lot's of stuff there.

After you see the videos and read online information, it's always good to buy a perfboard and a few resistors(the cheapest you can find ata local store) and just practice soldering. Watching the videos doesn't replace a bit of practice!

You're a helpful lot, but this thread is one year old and the OP hasn't posted since last April. Grave robbers. :basement:

I keep seeing January 2009 on forums and think it's a current thread. Fortunately I haven't bumped any of these threads :palm:
