DIY Mike - How to solder a Mini-Plug connector

I've added this video as a follow-up to the DIY mini-plug to mini-plug aux. input cable post and video below. I had a YouTube user contact me about having trouble soldering the small connector and wanted a photo of the finished plug as a guide. I decided to make this close-up video instead. This how to video should be helpful to anyone who has not yet mastered the art of soldering. I'm not saying I'm a master but I've had a lot of practice. Enjoy and thanks for watching, DIY Mike.

DIY iPod MP3 mini-plug aux. input cable

In this video I make a DIY mini-plug to mini-plug aux. input cable using a Litz flat braid design and two 3.5 mini plugs from Parts Express.

This cable would make an excellent cable for connecting your iPod or MP3 player to an auxiliary input in your car or stereo.
