Putting the Solder to the Metal (12.4.21)

I apologize that my titles are so cringe-worthy.

Getting back to the matter at hand, today I soldered the majority of our circuit.  If I haven't said this enough already, soldering is so much fun!!  Liquid metal is really beautiful.

I started by soldering the LEDs to the resistors and trimming the lengths.

Next the LEDs and resistors were soldered to the switches.

One rather humorous thing I thought I'd mention are the two diagrams Erin and I used to explain the inside of our lantern.  This is Erin's:

And this is mine:

 As you can see, I attempted a 3D view of our lantern from the bottom, looking towards the top.  I don't know how understandable it is to others, but it made sense to me and I referenced it often as I finished soldering our circuits.

Also, I don't think I've uploaded any really cool laser printer images in a while, so I thought I'd share these two:
