Other than, "touch that part and it hurts really bad."
That's me. I built a pre-amp, coupla phono stages, and an amplifier as if they were model car kits. When something went wrong, I was totally in the dark.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

I've tripped a few circuit breakers myself!
got 'bit' pretty good by 'cap flash' a few times too
nobody to coach me on discharging them prior to probing around back then
amongst other unforced errors I'm lucky to be in one piece
or even the pieces I'm in
with regards,
That was me in about 1973. I built a Dynakit and had a good laugh when the last part to "assemble" was a label like this that came with it:
But it worked!
Never built again until 2001 when I tackled a Foreplay, still innocent of what a resistor did. Now at least, I know what I don't know.
I love building speakers and electronics, just not in Stereo. It's the damned two of everything that sometimes get's me down. Good thing 4-Channel never caught on.

Buzzed like somebody poked a stick into a wasp nest. Only needed to crank the volume pots to the 7 o'clock position. Ear drums bled at 8 o'clock.
Was able to eliminate most of the buzzzz, but padding the pots didn't seem to work. They were still hair trigger and the sound quality suffered.
The Seduction was much better.
