Because the number of components are low and the box is rather small I decided to build it in dead-bug style.

Dead bug style is when the components are put upside down with the legs in the air, like a dead bug, and then connected either by wires or directly to the legs of other components.

The pictures here shows a few steps of the soldering process.

If it looks really tight and messy it because it's is really tight and messy! I soldered a few of the resistors in the wrong position and decided to fix those errors by some extra bit fiddling on the software rather than staring to desolder and reconnect it in this mess... Do what's simplest, it's not like anybody will notice it anyway. :-)
