tailorcraig, you have already over 1000 posts and you still haven't learned to solder?
If post kount equates to soldering ability, I should be able to solder SMD in my sleep by now
what is geekhack's current fashion? is it still korean customs? i might jump into it and see if my 3500+ in total gives me the ability to solder a whole board.
I basically decided to not learn honestly. I have more money than time right now. I COULD set up a station, but there's no decent place in my apt. I've opted to for now, outsource my projects to Dorkvader and some secret elf friends.
I'm into Korean Kustoms, myself, and I would be all over vintage boards but I'm not active enough on DT and they dont seem as readily available here.
