Right on! Glad you persevered and didn't give up. Soldering isn't easy but also with practice it isn't too difficult. Soldering pins on a pi isn't easy for a beginner but you did it!
The fact that you can build your own hardware signing device (hardware wallet) with off the shelf parts is so bullish for bitcoin and the bitcoin community.
Additionally, learning to solder and put together things like this has value. I hope you feel even more empowered.
thank you, yes it feels great and the little thing looks so cool, i want to use it all the time. if you see the soldering result, you will say: that will never work. it has black spots from the heat and it looks messed up.
but it works like a charm. perfectly.
everyone should use a seedsigner. it is superior and it feels good as you say.

One question: why do you need to solder? noob question.

You don't have to if you buy a Pi with header pins already soldered on. But if you buy a stock Pi zero they don't have have the pins you need to connect to the WaveShare LCD hat. Go checkout their site.
You can buy it pre-assembled as well.
