In a word, No.

In two words, Hell No.

In three words, No Fucking Way.

In four .... oh, never mind.

You see, as I get older, I've learned a couple things about myself--not much. One is that, I'm very good at taking some pieces and putting them together, if they are constructed in such a way that there's only one way they fit. But if I have to alter the shape of the parts, or if there's an opportunity to put the parts together at the wrong angle, I'm just better off bagging it. When I got my satellite TV system I had no trouble setting up the box, but I took the professional installation because I knew I was asking for trouble if I tried to mount the dish on the side of my house or do the wall penetrations myself.

So, if I do it myself I need a kit (such as the one from Arcade Depot) that has all the parts pre-cut and ready to screw together. And soldering? I might as well go sit in the emergency room with a match and light my hand on fire. (OK, it's not really that bad. But close.)
