2nd half deals with solder paste
My preferred tool
still need solder paste, a way to deliver it, really fine tweezers (forceps) ( maybe consider ones sold for plucking individual eyebrow hairs), skillet optional, and 2 or 3 pair of the strongest reading glasses that you can wear at the same time on top of each other from the dollar store. And good lighting. Also pick up a cookie tray or equivalent from the dollar store, to work in, so parts are more likely to be found again.
Probably need a toothbrush and quart of 91% Walmart isopropanol to clean up afterwards
keep the lead bits away from kids and wash your hands afterwards
not a huge investment if it turn out you don¡¯t like it
