That ain't gonna work ;-)

(even if you ignore the cap in the space silk screened for Q1!)

Brilliant. ;-)

But the very idea of using a gas flame type iron on a PCB fills me with
horror. Perhaps for an emergency repair in the field - but to build a
project as in that pic?

That, and how did they get a TO220 into a TO92 set of holes and soldering
the wrong side of the PCB - who ever is it who creates this stuff

It was that which made me look more closely at the other component postions!
