Much ado about the make-shift base, when all you have to do is stick the header pins into your PCB and then push it all into a breadboard as if you're mounting it. Two seconds and you're done. Then with the header in a vertical orientation you just solder from top to bottom, whether you're right or left-handed, doesn't matter -- just top to bottom every time.
It can be a little annoying getting the pins in and out of the breadboard, but I've never found it to be a real problem. I saw another recommendation to 3-d print a small block with 0.1" spaced square holes. But now that I think about it, I think you could just sacrifice an unneeded breadboard and remove the contacts.
The way to avoid the solder sticking to the pad as in 5:24 is to remove the solder a fraction of a second BEFORE removing the iron so that it separates while still fluid.
You DO realise there's an "L" in that word, right? It's pronounced "soLder". Just like older, colder, folder and holder. It's a bit like someone calling you "Robie". You don't get "odder" every year, the weather doesn't get "codder" in winter, files on a hard drive get saved into a folder, not a "fodder", and you don't put your cup into a cup "hodder" in your car. Please, you sound "sily".
🤪 I may have been called out on this before, which is why in our newer videos (this one is circa 2019) you'll find I do in fact pronounce the "L" in Solder. FebRuary, LibRary, and SoLder. Got it! Thanks, UA-cam! 🤣
Actually, I did some research as to why this is common in the US, and interestingly you've been influenced by foreign pronunciation of similar words. The original word has an L sound but the offending word doesn't. It's a regional thing, but weird!
@@Slidinsidewayz2009 The fact that my [mis]pronunciation of a word in one of my videos lead you down a rabbit trail of regional dialects makes you my favorite viewer this week! I hope you've subscribed, and I hope you enjoy all my little quirks! :)
Thanks for the tutorial. After 4 test pins I started with my Speeduino. Perfect!

thanks... you saved me from having to make a comment lol

for a “stable” stand that’s the most unstable mount for soldering
Thanks for tutorial
Try rubber band it's easier.
