LOL
I used variable height chair that have height differential about 300mm or 1 foot!
Tried every height during the 4 hours..
It is not the chair, it is the job.. soldering SMD components by hand is not good for a middle aged overweight bloke.
I got to find an easier way or get the factory to do it for me.

No, it's just not easy for anyone's body, regardless of their age.

Elvis, I made the stencil myself.
here is the link on tutorial to make the stencil
www.australianbladefor...l-Tutorial
By the way, it has also been popular with the gunsmithing forum to make serial numbers and caliber etchings on guns.

You did a great job on the video, very easy to understand instructions. I'm sold, where do I get one? (I know someone who might be interested)
