ever see one of those hot air solder setups where you solder by blowing hot air onto the board, instead of touching the board with a hot peice of metal like a regular iron? they usually go for at least $170 USD, which is a rip off as far as i'm concerned this guy built his own.

i'm gonna make one of these for the P64 project i'm slowly finishing (slower now since my new dremel (got it june 8th) started smoking when i was cutting a cartridge slot in the N64 RF sheild (the aluminum sheet that held the heatsinks in place))

That's cool. Looks very hard to make though.
