Before you actually solder, you should test the circuit on a breadboard. What I did was break the circuit down into chunks and test each one (the timer, the transistor, and the audio amplifier). I'm sorry I don't have any photos from the build process, but I wasn't expecting to make an instructable on the project until after I built it.

What did you use for power? did you use a 9v battery or a 9v wall wart?

To use a wall wart, you would need a voltage regulator in the circuit after the dc power jack. A wall wart, even when it says "9v," can supply even twice that in little spikes. You might want to google that, I don't know what the fluctuations are like exactly.

Yep. I have bad experience with that now(That comment being a while ago) haha Such as a whole homemade amplifier being fried.
