Backyard SMT Work
I put together an informal little application note on working with surface-mount technology in your backyard. Mostly it's my experience based on techniques I learned from others, and some links to supplies. It's remarkably easy, or easier than I imagined it would be. As I've been told, and have now proven to myself, anyone with decent craft-working skills, patience, a set of tweezers and one of those jeweler's head-rigs can make small things relatively easily.
