I have decided to have a go at soldering today and being the tender age of 48 have never really soldered anything so I jave set up my work station by putting my watch repair thing that are not needed in a drawer to make space for the new stuff.

So first questions are:
1. Is the spacing ok on the jump ring?
2. Too much solder? How do you get small flakes as my tools can't seem to cut anything smaller.

Thanks for any help
