Note that plumbers, motorcycle mechanics, cabinetmakers,
etc. are the kinds of jobs that cannot be "outsourced" to
foreign shores. Just one of the advantages of doing "real"
(physical) work vs. virtual (mental) work.  :-)

There's likely an instructional video on Youtube on how to
solder.  OTOH, with the prevalence of SMD, horse-shoeing
may be a more practical skill.  :-)
