[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1058453, member: 199791"] I dived right into SMD components by building an LED clock that was made up primarily of SMD capacitors, resistors, LEDs and a couple ICs, it was pretty fiddly stuff (not exactly got steady hands myself), and you do need a fine tipped iron if you're soldering by hand (the smart people tend to wave-solder or bake in an oven with solder paste), it's worth it for the "I did this" factor though... :) [/QUOTE]
