I've been successful at soldering to a point. I can tell you that combining
two wires together is rather simple. I have found and this might not be the
best soldering technique, but twisting both wires and a piece of solder
together works well.  For attaching something to a peg if you will, you can
generally get away with wrapping the wire and solder to the peg and
applying heat. That works well with soldering plugs like quarter-inch or
1/8th inch plugs. That's about the limit of my skills.

good luck
