In MAKEzine spirit, Engadget has spec'd out a do it yourself SMT soldering iron, for under $20 they make a simple reflow tool. I admit I thought of Jack first.
No telling what this tool will motivate him to do.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I have a rule about minimum feature size with regard to what I will solder and what I won't. Having soldered a few finger tips to various circuit boards will eventually teach even me discretion.
