A hands-on introduction to soldering

Brian Jepson’s concise guide breaks soldering into practical stages, from setting up a workspace and preparing an iron to joining components and removing solder when a connection needs correction. The book pairs tool guidance with practice using electronic components, including projects that make small blinking objects. Its emphasis is on core bench skills: handling components, making sound joints, and recovering from mistakes. The description also connects the guide to MAKE’s Getting Started with Soldering Kit, with a skill badge as a way to mark completion.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners learning to solder for electronics projects.
  • Makers who want practical guidance on tools, components, and soldering techniques.
  • People using MAKE’s Getting Started with Soldering Kit.
