==== Introduction  ====


Through hole soldering is when you have parts that go **through** metal **holes ** in the printed circuit board 



Nearly all my kits and other simple projects are done using through-hole parts. Practice and master this skill first, then you can move onto more advanced techniques!


==== Tutorials  ====


I could make my own tutorial but seriously, there's so many good ones out there already, it's probably a waste of my time! All of these are really nice. Don't forget that you still need to practice if you want to actually get better, though! 


  *CuriousInventor has a [[http://www.curiousinventor.com/guides/How_To_Solder|really nice detailed tutorial with lots of pictures and video. ]] \\ 
  *SparkFun has a [[http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=106|step-by-step soldering page ]] \\ 
  *Here is [[http://www.ladyada.net/media/common/soldering.pdf|a good PDF on how to solder]], very recommended \\ 
  * If you've never soldered before, [[http://radiojove.gsfc.nasa.gov/telescope/soldering.htm|this set of soldering videos ]] from NASA may do you right! (Very high quality, six steps to great soldering) 

Finally, here is a blip.tv video about How to Solder/Desolder (starring Bre & [[http://www.grandideastudios.com/|Joey G]]) more overview of everything, but doesnt have as many close-ups as the above videos
