More needs to be added about appropriate projects to

I learned soldering with some Heathkits, and then later populating a
couple of generic blank XT motherboards with Augat sockets. I don't
think that such blank boards are available any more.
What are some good sources for beginner projects?
A quick google will turn up scads of them. There are more kits
available today than ever before, and orders of magnitude more (MANY
orders of magnitude more) than in the Heathkit era. These are very good
days for electronics as a hobby.
Many of them are cheap enough, and otherwise appropriate, to use as a
good vehicle for learning, I think.
