Thanks. I have reached the point where I don't even need to measure the leads, it's just "this resistor spans 4 holes, bend about here and here". And I swapped to a different solder composition which is giving me much shinier joins.Originally Posted by Bakersdozen
A bit longer than 2 actually. I move slowly, measuring component values, continuity testing, inspecting each solder join and so on. It's slowest when doing the first components. With fewer known-good landmarks on the board there is a lot more counting. As the board fills the relative placement of new components gets faster.I expect it took you two hours to solder that lot.
And yes, I get the reference to my lame joke elsewhere
