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.

Have you checked out Tangent Tutorials ?

^^^ QFT That's what got me back into it.

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

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

Oh, that's what that was. I thought it was some kind of ethnic break-dancing.

Wow,thanks for the link. That is just what I was looking for. Cheers!

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

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!

amb's website has a bunch of links as well. AMB Laboratories DIY Audio Site

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

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

I've had the same misapprehension, but in this case the thread must have been pretty buried. Kind of a clue that it isn't current.
