Like Serge said: Go for it!
There are several “learn to solder” kits that look pretty good. Most beginner mistakes are cold solder joints and using too much solder. It’s all about heating the parts and getting good flow. You’ll get the hang of it fast. The soldering standard bible is Mil STD 2000. More than you want to know but also some good pix of what a finished joint should look like. When I worked in aerospace I was a certified Mil STD 2000 solderer. Kind of neat to know the ins and outs of the craft and have to demonstrate them. Tom

Practice, practice & more practice. Heres a completed Heathkit auto morse keyer that I built about 40 years ago. In the construction manual it suggested a handy hint of wrapping copper wire around the iron's bit and fileing the wire end of 1/4" length into a small bit and thats the way I did it. 20160404_100928.jpg
