One suggestion, as I’m more than sure Colin Cunningham will also agree, one way to make sure the LED’s (and other components) not fall out, or mis-allign, is to bend one (or both) leads outward, not pinch inward as suggested in the video. this way, the device will pull against the board. Pinching them inward, allows them to roll, as the lead pulls back through the through-holes. I was taught this when I soldered my 1st project. (a florescent digital clock from Heathkit.) (which I also made my 1st hack.. cut the trace to the colon, and added a wire from the clipped dot lead, to the flashing colon side of the alarm switch, to indicate seconds.)

There’s no better way to practice soldering than with the LOL Shield!
