Learn to Solder

Designed as the companion book to MAKE's Getting Started with Soldering Kit, this book teaches you the fundamentals of soldering: preheating and tinning your iron, using helping hands to hold components in place, making a good solder joint, and desoldering cleanly (for when things didn't go right the first time). With the tools in the kit, and MAKE's Learn to Solder Skill Badge, you'll be able to practice your soldering while making a fun wearable badge that shows the world you just learned a new skill.
