Nice job Dalek ! Let's thank Rskm for looking out for everyone's best interest. I probably should have asked your age before replying. That's on me.

I was in 4th grade, Rskm was in 3rd, and now you're in 7th. You're the right age to learn to solder. But do it safely Dalek, with your parent's permission. And for the first couple times under adult supervision. Okay ?

If you don't have someone to teach you, watch a video like the one Rskm recommended. That's a good one. Whatever you do, don't try to figure this out yourself. There's a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way can burn down the house.

Bottom line, be safe. If you use your soldering iron right, you can make magical things happen.
