Of course before soldering anything you need to get the tools and suppies:

[*] Getting the right tools

[*] Total expenses

In addition, you will need the following stuff, could be bought locally:

1) Stainless steel high quality scissors

2) Ruler - to measure the length of wire

3) Permanent marker - to mark a cut points

4) A4 paper sheets - to use as disposable surface

5) Lighter - better with a hole to refill it later

6) Toilet paper roll - for technical use only ;)

Now, after you got all this, you noticed that 20 cm copper wires are too long for you: decreasing the signal quality or just a little bit inconvenient...

This manual below (with nice pictures included!) will help you to learn some basic soldering, giving an example of: how to reduce the length of 1P copper wire from 20 cm to 10 cm

So you got this copper wire. Look at the picture above, isn't it nice?

Measure about 5.5 cm from both ends of wire and mark these points

Now cut a wire at these points
