Need detailed soldering and setup lessons

Post by SoylentGreenIsPeople »

I want to start saving myself some money. I would appreciate video and picture links for the work itself and tips on what kind of tools to buy.

True, and I've seen a lot of them. Most of them are low quality and don't really show what's being done too close up. A lot of them also skip on important steps.

I watched a few on YouTube to remind me recently what to do as its been nearly 20 years since I did some soldering. I then went and practiced with some old/cheap components. This is the best way (the practicing) that I found to do it
