This morning I couldn't contain myself and finished this thing off. I only remembered to take a pic of the copper taping and forgot all about taking one of the wiring because I was so keen to get it all together. The soldering itself was EASY. And I haven't picked up a soldering iron since 1998. So if anyone is reading this and having thoughts about whether or not you'd be able to solder - I say go for it. It took me all of 5-10 minutes.
