Seems like you're guessing
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
You're overestimating the skill required. Also, these connections are almost always "low-voltage", so the risks are easily mitigated.
