Soldering is an essential skill to learn if you like to mess with hardware. The best way to learn soldering is by doing it. Practice, practice, practice.

What is Soldering?

You're joining two metals by melting a filler metal. That's the solder itself.

Materials List

Soldering Iron
Solder (lead free) (Rosin core, NOT acid core)
Wire
Wire stripper
Helping hands (optional, but helpful)
Alternatively, you can get a kit like the Elenco AmeriKit Learn to Solder Kit. It's roughly $15 and comes with everything you need to start practicing.

Safety

Assume the soldering iron is hot.
Be in a well ventilated area.
Wash your hands after handling solder
Practice!

Heat up your soldering iron
In line splice

Grab some wire and remove some insulation with your wire
Twist the exposed wire together
Tin the soldering iron with a small amount of solder.
Remove excess, retin as necessary
Twist the exposed wire together
Heat the wire with the soldering iron
Place the solder on the wire, not on the soldering iron. The solder will flow onto the wire.
Good luck with your soldering!
