Nothing I make seems to work

Just wanted to add...

in case there is part of you that doesn't want to give up, what really helped me was getting a good soldering iron (Haaku) with a fine tip. If I had to go back to a larger style tip, I don't know what the hell I would do. I like my tip to be able to fit in the pcb hole with the lead in there. 2-3 seconds and you are out.

Alright, I just posted pictures in the tech help forum.  If anybody wants to take a look at them and see what I screwed up, please feel free! I think I have all the information needed posted in that thread.  I don't have an audio probe made just yet.  That's next on the list of things to make though.
