We start with the resistors that make up the central strip.  Resistor leads should be bent close to the resistor body within about 1mm.
A tip for doing this without tools -  Hold the resistor between thumb and first-finger, and use the other hand to bend the resistor lead over the thumb nail.
Work methodically, - it looks neater if the resistors are all inserted the same direction so that the colour code can be read easily from the left hand side.


First we add the five 10K resistors  - the colour code is Brown Black Black Red (The last band on all resistors is Brown).

After you have soldered the five resistors from the underside of the board, cut off the excess leads using side cutters.
