The best part of the Dummies book, at last — the Part of Tens! With so many ways of building and so many things to be built, one chapter presents a set of ten circuit-building secrets. These little bits of workbench wisdom are intended to help you along the path to success. Then you get ten tips for circuit first-aid — just what you may need when things go wrong away from home.
I've enjoyed writing this book and trying to capture some of the things I've learned in more than 40 years of tinkering and building. As a youngster taking apart TV sets for the parts, I often wished there was a basic guide to the newcomer — and now I've had my chance to provide one for you! As you build up your own set of tips and tricks, don't forget to pass them along to someone else just learning the ropes. Circuitbuilding is more than an activity; it's a community!
