LED Layer 1 Complete

It is very fine work and at times it is hard to keep the LEDs in line but I was able to complete layer one.  maybe I should have practiced a little before moving forward but what I figured it doesn't have to be perfect just reasonably nice.

I bought a new solder iron stand.  The one I had was just the cheap little aluminum one that you lay it on the desk... wasn't comfortable with that thought.  Bought one at Radio Scrap for about $9 but my iron didn't quite fit it so I used a grinding wheel to make the hole a little bigger... works great now.  Also picked up an 8oz spool of 60/40 rosin core solder (.032" diameter).  That should be more than enough for the next 100 years... unless I decide to finish my electronics degree and then start making cool stuff left and right... hmmmm... thats a thought. :)

Here are a couple of pictures of the first layer... just 7 more to go, although depending on how the others go I might make an extra layer to replace my first one :)
