How long did it take you?
I know you said it was your first hand wired mech, but did you have any soldering experience before?
I was considering starting out a hand wired project, but I'm not sure how long it would take. Someone gave me a soldering iron for Christmas, and it's just been sitting at my desk unused... Haven't soldered since like grade 8 which was a long time ago, so I'm kind of worried about that.
