Introduction: How to Solder LEDs Using a Simple Jig

About: It's not important who I am or what I know. What is important is what I can teach you.

Holding LED's in place for soldering can be a bit tricky. So I invented a simple jig to make the process easier. I will explain how to make duplicates of the jig, but it is real easy to make just one. An alternative method is to clamp two pieces of wood together, then drill between them.
