I'll pass on some hard-earned experience - never wear shorts when you solder.

Now that's funny! Lol!

I know this is different from the original thread, but I'm gathering the parts to make a guitar practice amp I found the plans for on another thread here...oh boy! How fun!

Funnily enough I'm wearing shorts at this very moment - and I'll be soldering whilst still wearing them in a little while!

If you should happen to somehow drop a blob of solder, it's worse if it lands on your sock - where it melts in and you can't easily remove it - a quick flick with the back of your hand, or a good 'kick reflex' will remove it from your bare leg.

UPDATE: - OK, I've just replaced the LOPT transistor and LOPTX in a Sony KV28LS35U, whilst wearing shorts - with NO ill effects!

Welcome to Electro-tech-online, and Enjoy your time here!

Also, what kind of electronics do you do? frequency, robotics, etc?

Let's see....what kind of electronics do I do? Lol! I'm currently making little DC circuits, playing with my multimeter and scope and figuring out how things work, heh ....I also just recently got my amateur radio license so I'm learning about RF stuff....I may not know much, but I learn a little every day!

Well, why not try using the 555 timer oscillator? It is a fun little chip that can get you use to electronics! I am currently building a lot of circuits off it. Click on my kpsec.freeuk link for more.

It's funny you should mention the kpsec site! I already built the little continuity checker on there...lol....

I took a trip to Radio Shack yesterday and bought a timer chip and some transistors...they should keep me busy for a few days!

Glad that you go to that site!

Also, try not to buy from radioshack. Their stuff is overpriced and can be defective. Try www.jameco.com and www.mouser.com their stuff is cheaper and works better!

P.S. What are you going to build?

Jameco is great. I also like www.mpja.com. They have some very good deals, but do not have nearly as much as jameco has. I just got a 100ft cat5-e cable from mpja for $10!!!!!!!! Also got 100 leds for $2.

Sold! I'll have to either stock up on some specific things in advance or get over my need for immediate gratification, lol.

My next thing I'm going to build is The Ruby

If it works out okay on the bread board I'll put in a box and actually use it as a little practice amp when I'm on the road....

I'm also going to try doing some mods I found online for my Boss DS-1 distortion pedal....

What I'd really like to do is make a Tesla Coil or Jacob's Ladder for the party we are having on July 10 to celebrate Tesla's birthday....but I admit, the high voltage transformers scare me...lol....I may just make some homemade leyden jars...they are a lot safer!

You guys are great, thanks for the advice!

The Ruby is a 'proper design', the 'little gem' was put together by someone who knew nothing about amplifiers, electronics, or probably anything else? - it's truely horrible!.

The Ruby is connected properly, and should cost less than the 'little gem' because it doesn't have the stupid expensive rheostat.

No need to breadboard it, get it built, thrown in a box, and get it on the road!

If you carry on like this some people may get confused and think you have a sense of humour.
