SMD soldering guide, with awesome techniques

[GooeyGus]

I posted this once, but its gone now so here it is again. This is a really awesome guide on soldering SMD components, especially those with very small pin pitch. My solder joints would look horrible if it wasn't for the techniques I found in this guide!

I think you don't need that at all, geez, I just got my tip off my radioshack crappo, grinded it smooth and finer on those wheel grinder things, and now I can do 0603 smt stuff easy, just gotta make sure you have temp control with the soldering iron.

I agree on the equipment, but some of the techniques are really cool.
