Easy way to Solder Surface Mount Parts! - How I do it

Was working on some boards today and I thought maybe others might find this kind of video useful. Note that this is just the way I deal with surface mount soldering... people that do this sort of thing all the time have developed it into an art of sorts. But whenever I need to assemble up a couple prototypes before sending out for manufacturing, this is my go-to method.

Sorry about the audio on this one... just used the camera's built in microphone.

By the way, these boards are going out to the patrons of this channel this month. Thanks again to everyone who supports what I'm doing here: https://www.patreon.com/kdarrah
