Yes, safety is paramount – one of those aspects of a build that should never be compromised.
Good advice for soldering practise – I will do this. I am thinking of the Hakko iron (936?) that was recommended here a while ago – although more pricey than some, it seems a very good product that should give a newbie a better chance at success.
As for analysis paralysis, I hear you. I have been more thinker than doer, though my completion of my first project will be a good step in managing this ailment!
I will take your advice re boutique parts on board. I do not necessarily believe more expen$ive is better, though will use tight tolerance parts where it matters, eg. Mills wirewounds at cathodes etc.
Thanx for the club welcome – I am warned 
Thankyou
Raymond
