Hi Everyone,
I just started an Electrical Engineering Technologies program 4 weeks ago and today was assigned a fairly simple soldering job. It's maybe my 5th time soldering through-hole and I was wondering if you could offer whatever critiques, suggestion, or comments you have. I think I've gotten over that hump of using too much solder but I'm still having trouble making a nice, clean solder bridge that's smooth (leads seem to be jutting out too close to the solder to trim).
The layout for this is that the three resistors are bridged together in the center, a wire connects one of the other leads of a resistor to + and another wire connects the lead of the lone perpendicular resistor to -. The anode of the LED is bridged to a resistor and a jumper wire connects the cathode of the LED to the resistor that leads to ground. I hope that's clear enough, if you'd like I can scan a schematic.

Thanks!
