Quick SMD Soldering - Bridget the Buffer!

Proof to folks that don't believe that you can do SMD soldering without solder paste and stencils etc. Here, to show a friend, I assembled a small JFET Audio Buffer PCB we had made recently. Board worked first time it was plugged in! Note: I did use a G600 video microscope, mainly to record with. However, for $60USD, it really is a great value for doing SMD too.
