Ah... I have next to no experience in DIY electronics. Most I've ever done is replace things like capacitors which is simply a case of sticking legs through holes and soldering.

It's the soldering that may require practice but the rest is just thinking about it with a calm mind, knowing there are no rules and knowing that you can always back track or hand it to someone else if something goes wrong.

It's quite practical and all common sense and those only come out to the full if you're not afraid or worried. As I say the only skill really is the soldering part and you have to do that whichever caps you use.
