Make Flickr group pool member drewish asks “I’m trying to find out more about using surface mount components in my projects. I came across a link that’s almost got me convinced that I can make it work. If anyone else has any info or must-have products for hand-assembling/soldering SMT components I’d love to see them”. Anyone have any advice for him? Post here or join the Make photo pool to post.

The Seattle robotics society has a page about soldering surface-mount parts with a toaster oven.
Must-have tools: it’s all about the tweezers. Get the smallest you can find.
