There’s always a first time for learning something new. So go ahead and try it on something small and inconsequential when the opportunity presents itself.
Just need to know the basics of electricity and how it goes where. Many wires are colour coded too, so there’s even less to worry about.
I mean, if you want to solder your own power adapter and don’t have any fear of producing something that could present a fire risk and put your home and family in danger, knock yourself out.
I am ok buying one online for $10. I also don’t have time to solder my own power adapters to save $10.
I wouldn’t recommend an inexperienced person mess with AC voltage but a 5-12V DC power adapter with a couple Amps max is a long way from dangerous and it’s not a fire hazard either really
Seems like a fire hazard
Not if you wrap the wires with enough electrical tape to cover a football field
You’d be absolutely wrong, the adapter is on the low voltage side probably between 5-12v DC Even if you shorted it you’d just blow the transformer.
It’s also extremely easy to do…
Things are easy to do when you know how to do them.

You’re overestimating the skill required. Also, these connections are almost always “low-voltage”, so the risks are easily mitigated.
