I have found 2 advantages, for me, with the group method:
1. Working in groups I have found that the position I want to fill already
occupied by another component of the same group.
2. I can solder leads in a spaced pattern so that I do not heat the l

Is anyone else here a turtle today?
You bet your sweet a** there is!
I'm (actually, getting back to the thread) a
quasi-turtle. I'll stuff three or four components in a
group, then care
One reason I like to solder in groups is that I think the components stay
cooler if I solder one lead on each one before going back and doing the
other lead(s). I check for solder before clipping the leads. I find that a
small fillet makes it easier to spot a missed joint. Its eaiser to spot a

Ditto that! On Sunday morning I put on some nice relaxing classical and
boy did the solder flow nicely. One other think I've noticed is that
putting too many components on at once results in leads getting in the
way of soldering iron tip and feeding the solder. I have caught a
couple of lead
or me.

For me, the biggest problem is distraction: the phone rings
or the wife needs to speak to you "right now". I can't watch
TV or listen to a radio while working. I have found that it takes
a lot longer to find and fix a problem than to do it correctly
the first time.

I am one of the Turtles too. I also made sure I
selected the right component by checking it three
times before I put it in the hole. On resistors, I
actually measured the resistor with a meter to make
sure my eyes were not deceiving me. A magnifying
device is a MUST! I limited myself to three

Hi Robert.
Member of TURTLE team myself. Each component properly seated, soldered and
checked before moving on.

My experience as well. I had missed a few if I placed too many at
once. I tried to do no more than three (e.g., resistors) at one time
prior to soldering. Double-check is a must.

I agree fully with your desire to think like the turtle. One
component at a time. Then you can double check you've got the right
component before soldering, be sure you've not missed any solder
points, and check each soldering job when done under the magnifying
glass to be sure it
