Electronics nerds, my son is getting into building electronics. He's become a dab hand at soldering and wants to try out surface mount stuff.

So this Xmas I'm gonna buy him a little workshop setup. Pinecil and power supply, fume extractor, helping hands, other odds and ends. Some components to get him going.

But question for the #electronics #makers on here: is there a reasonable way to reflow safely and cheaply? Is it achievable for a teenager at home?
