I would recommend starting with a kit so that you also get the benefit of feeling like you created something valuable as your practice/learn. Something like this is great for the price! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X13KY6S

have you used this one? I'd like to buy it, I'd just want to hear that someone used this successfully.

I use it as a clock for my workbench and power it from a USB port. Fun little kit.

Yes, my son built is a few weeks ago, no issues and works great!

can you recommend any starter soldering iron to go with it? I guess all we would need is a starter solder iron and some solder to complete the clock. Looks like fun!
