This kit requires some basic electronics tools. It is helpful to have a clear and bright workspace, and perhaps some magnification for your eyes. The cores are small and you don't want to loose them!
TOOLS: PCB holder, soldering pencil, fume extractor, tip cleaner, tweezers, blunt tip plastic pointer, small flush-cut wire cutter, sharp hobby knife, multimeter
SUPPLIES: Solder (1/32 or 1/16"), flux pen, isopropyl alcohol, q-tips, Kimwipes or similar lint-free towel
OPTIONAL: Ruler, scissors, magnifier, flux remover, task light
Pause and take a deep breath! Proceed slowly, be careful, and make it count! I want you to be happy with your results, and I know this is going to be a challenging kit if it is your first time weaving core memory. Please don't rush it. Take frequent breaks. I do NOT recommend completing it in one sitting. Gentle persistance will get you through the weaving process.
