[Noisebridge-discuss] surface mount soldering equipment at NB?

[meredith scheff]

I've been using the stiring/hot plate thingie to much succes. The one from
the science area. I don't know what it's really called.
I know Noisebridge can't have nice things, but, uh..I do a lot of SMT, and
it broke my heart to see that nice tip made fairly useless. I'd love to go
in with peeps on a new one that maybe was on some sort of nice-things shelf
for peeps who know how to use Nice Things.
