I find that it is great fun once you get the procedure figured out. In most cases the best way is to flux and tin both the wires, and the object they are being soldered to using enough heat to make sure things fuse properly. Once everything is tinned, then it is pretty easy to fuse them altogehter. For small items I use one of those mag based soldering jigs to hold everything in place and it has a magnifying glass to help see what you are doing. This way you have both hands free to do the actual soldering. The Hakko soldering rigs heat up pretty fast also, which saves you time when you get in a hurry. Like anything you will get better with time and practice. Good luck with your new toy/tool.
