RE: A NEW KIND OF BUILD THREAD, for those of you . . .
Tigerdude,
Do a Google search on "soldering how to" and you'll come up with a good list of "how-to's" on soldering. Definitely enough information out there to get somebody started in soldering.
Here are a few of the sites that come up in the search that looked pretty informative:
