Have you tales of horror with pictures to match? I love living that shit vicariously.

So this is a $200 (student discount) kit from diyribbonmic.com. I built it in a seminar with my recording class and the guy who runs the company. Basically the soldering is pretty much the easy part (though condenser mics are more electrically complicated). Mounting the ribbon diaphragm in between the magnets was a BITCH. It's thinner than human hair, more fragile then wet tissue paper, and has to be parallel to the magnets and as close to them as possible without touching them. It can't be mounted too tightly either!

That mic looks pretty nice, how does it sound?

That's a real bummer. It seemed promising but I'd probably just break it.
