I found NOT drinking a Redbull before you start soldering helps.

All,
I wanted to attach a through-hole 1/4 W resistor to an LED, but my hands are
not-so-steady anymore.
Idea 1:
Make a mechanical connection first with wire-wrap wire and then solder it.
Idea 2:
Tin the two parts and tack them together.
Make a mechanical connector with wire-wrap wire and then solder it.
Idea 3:
Tin the two parts and tack them together and you are done.
Idea 4:
Take an 8-inch length of wire-wrap wire and make a spring in the middle by
wrapping 3 turns around a toothpick.
Place the two parts in the spring and pull the wire tight.
Solder the parts together.
Now, how do you solve this problem?
