solder a gun to a plow and a bone needle, so you can mow, sow & sew

Best way to approach this is to find a lefty friend with guns, ask nicely for them to take you to the range, and buy ammo for them and yourself. They will be open and train you to operate on a cleared firearm before you go to the range. I don't mind taking people to the range myself, but it's nice when my friends also pitch in for ammo costs.

ditto what mouse has said regarding sewing. My partner spent some time studying fashion and is handy with a sewing machine, so we ended up getting one at goodwill for $50. It runs great, and after she gave me a quick rundown, I was patching my clothes and even made a new shift boot (the fabric cover for the shifter) for my shitty car in a single night after one failed prototype.

Sewing aint too hard, man! I taught myself to hand sew last week in order to sew on a few patches and its pretty straight forward. The machine is a little more difficult but not with some practice.

Soldering is very easy, just takes a little bit of practice. Let the iron heat up, put a bit of solder on the tip, touch it to the parts you want to solder (usually the component lead and the pcb's metal plating around the hole), and apply the solder inbetween the three, it'll stick when the parts are hot enough. If it doesn't stick, either you're not applying enough pressure on the iron or the contact point is too small.

The harder part is identifying why you're soldering the parts in that point of the circuit and how the components interact with each other (aka electronics)
