This is a fun step. You'll now get the chance to build the circuit board that drives the Shake Mic using all the electronic parts you purchased.

1. Collect the following parts: (picture #1)
1 x 10M ohm Resistor
1 x LM386 Capacitor
1 x 8-pin IC Socket
1 x 0.1uF Ceramic Capacitor
1 x 220uF Electrolytic Capacitor
1 x 10uF Electrolytic Capacitor
1 x PC Board

2. Solder all the parts into place using pictures #2 and #3 as reference.
3. Using a wire cutter, pliers, snips, or even your hands, break off the extra PC board leaving about 1 or 2 holes of a margin around your circuit. (pictures #4 and #5)
