Geez, someone who actually knows how to teach. Thank you sir.

This video is a metaphor for life. Clean up before you start. Use the appropriate materials for the job, so you don't mess things up. Do one thing at a time. Put things away when you are done with them. Be careful not to touch things that are extremely hot. Sometimes high-end parts are used to record noise. It doesn't have to be perfect.

I love the presentation and the soft background music. It's like I'm watching surface-mount soldering with Bob Ross. :-D

never thought I'd be watching a soldering video with such high production. I'm a surgeon, and I am impressed with the meticulous attention to detail here. Excellent job!

The fact that the Elektrosluch is stereo really makes it. So cool.

I knew I could trust you by the googly eyes

As a tech from the late 80's to now, this video is a good value for the novice and production quality is on par ( I am a videographer as well ). Well done.

This was helpful, and your calming voice has soothed my worries about frying my first SMT board! Thanks.

Thank you! I stopped using my skills after college in a job that was a mistake and am trying to get a job in automation and need to retrain my soldering skills. The calm, concise nature of this video and tips were incredible for me and I really appreciate it. Some of the things you did here I didn't learn in college or at my job. I'm going to buy some good equipment and start practicing! going to look into more of your videos. I have some old electronics I can use to get better at desoldiering. I need to look into cheap supplies for SMT practice. Thanks again.

I just soldered smd voltage regulators for the first time as a test and decided I like them. Next pcb I'll add resistors and caps. I will make sure to clean the board first with alcohol. Great video, thanks for posting.

It’s like things are alive, I love it!

Perfect soldiering techniques 🌹👍

wow the demonstration - that is actually so cool to hear

Excellent presentation! Good tip about the thin solder

Thank you very much for posting this video, you've exposed the mystery of SMD components for me! 🙏

Just his tone of voice and the way he speaks is like anti stress in itself

Hey there just wanted to say, fantastic channel. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. I managed to solder my very tiny component after straggling so much.

Absolutely love your content. Keep it up!

you make it look so simple, ill give it a shot one day

Thank You for the video. I have a 3D printer that my micro USB port came off of it's board and I need to solder it back on. The printer doesn't have a display like most do today and the only way to monitor it is through a computer plugged into the micro USB. This gave me the know-how on how to properly do it, instead of winging it. Thank You, Frank M.

Actually gives me some confidence I might be able to fix the rather fragile output jack on my NTS-1! Thanks for making this video! 😃

Love the googly eyes on the hose!

That is a cool little product. Thanks for the info on hand soldering surface mount I'll have to go pick up a few smaller things for the fine soldering

Nice video. Thanks! I love the eyes on the extraction hose o.o. Great advice too about getting one thing out at a time. There's nothing worse than *stuff* all over the place when working. It takes the fun out of it.

Thanks! With your help I've finished my Pulses expansion for turing machine module (eurorack). I thought it's impossible for me.

This was perfect, great for beginners! Can’t thank you enough!

Awesome! Very easy to understand! Thanks, alotsssss

Thanks for the tips. Just ordered a sample resistor/capacitor book.

You make it seems too easy! Thanks so much for the tutorial!

This was absolutely incredible.

Great video! Clear speaking really helps us with bad hearing, Thank You!

Great video! I was wondering what temp the iron was on ?

Always been intimidated by SMD, I thought you needed ovens and paste and masks and stuff. Thanks, my life is changed!

Very interesting video. I have done through hole soldering but never surface mount. Looks like you need great vision and a very steady hand, but not difficult.

Hey Man, thanks for this video. I now feel confident enough to order parts for a mutable instruments ripples:) Great work!

Thanks for this video - right now i'm planning to go SMD with my projects and this was really helpful. Btw you got a new sub!

Right tool for the job.. my iron tip and solder diameter was great for automotive work, but getting the thinner solder and the fine tip for the iron, that will help as I solder to micro switches and learn to work on smaller scale electrical. Thank you!

Thanks, Leo, this is a great and cool tutorial and practice about the SMT Soldering and applications devices to detecting the Noise of the electronics active component, but away the background music is cool

All those sounds!!❤

Thanks for the video. I just got my first surface-mount assembly job. I was trained 30+ years ago to do through-hole soldering. BOY! The component size difference is insane. My eyeballs are already freaking out.

Yep, soldering only a single SMD component value at a given time is a REALLY good tip! Thanks for the video, I think it helped me a lot!

Very nice demonstration. I do production, mostly through hole but always a few sm op-amps. For those opamps I'll put a little noclean flux on the pads, a drop of solder on the iron tip, use tweezers to place the part then just touch the solder to the pad/leg interface and it just sucks it up. Don't use rosin flux as you can't get it clean under the chip. thanks.

This is a nice and clean and good job, well done !

that was such a useful macro view thanks. I was just wondering if there was a specific temperature of the iron I should be using when doing surface mount parts.

Great video! Very helpful. The nicest thing was hearing solder pronounced correctly!

Great tutorial. I was worried surface soldering would be really hard but this looks very approachable!

Dude you have rock steady hands. You should be a surgeon.

This was a great demo!

Put clear masking tape over the labels in that sample book when they are new. I have two and with both, the stickers deteriorated and tried to fall off within a matter of months. I live in Thailand which is very humid but expect this would happen anywhere. Great video

Really great video with a ton of extra information baked in. I would've never thought about the beveled chip with the double lines; and wasn't expecting to learn that in this video. Good stuff!

It's amazing, it helped me a lot, thank you for sharing.

I do a similar process, but I add solder to one pad on all SMT parts before I begin to place anything. I find it speeds up the process a bit. Always add the solder to the pad opposite the hand you hold the tweezer so the tweezer does not get in the way when placing the part and reflowing the solder.

Beautiful video. Thanks, I got a lot from this.

Huge fan! Amazing Channel!

educational and devilishly satisfying

Dear Leo , Thank you for nice presentation ...

Your work is really well done and you have a really steady hand, your planned approach is very smart and i am definitely getting one of those books. I have being soldering in the larger form for my whole career and part of my training included a little trick you might find useful. When you handle the solder it has a similar problem as finger grease on the PCB. I get a piece of cloth, linen is perfect, wet it with isopropyl alcohol and run the solder gently through the folded cloth. You keep doing that till the black disappears. It make a difference, especially in surface mounted soldering. Perfect is for robots. Thanks for listening

Great video! Could it be used as a non contact audio or rf probe specifically in troubleshooting audio gear such as tube amps or old tube radios? Thanks again.

thanks much for this. Going to have to wait for .3mm solder to be delivered, but at least I'm no longer freaked out by surface mount soldering...

Excellent teaching video, thank you very much ! :o)

Excellent job

For being organized , thumbs up 👍🏻

Great tips. How are the pc ‘s marked for tiny led’s

Great work

thanks,nice and clean and HQ.thanks a lot.

Leo I found your channel from this video was looking for videos to help me with soldering, I wasn’t really paying attention to what you were actually making until you were done when you turned it on I almost screamed, I am a sound designer and music producer doing all sorts of genres from pop to ambient but what ties it all together in my style is a very high influence from idm glitch experimental music, that thing sounds amazing!, oh and btw the project I am doing right now is a portable modded out turntable for playing ,using djimg and scratching, so seems like your right up my alley… cheers!

Thanks, I will receive a fume extractor in few days and I can't wait to start to solder. I got a first problem to solve, instead of releasing the fume in my house, I would prefer to evacuate the fume outside. So I need to find a way to achieve to make it more safety. Thanks for your video

Hi Leomakes - excellent video on soldering SMD.. can you share what type of solder you used and the temperature setting for the iron for that solder?

Great video. I once made a very low frequency radio that had an antenna a bit over a meter in diameter of 300 turns of wire. I was able to listen to my TV, the outdoor utility pole and a lightning storm coming in, Frank Reiser M.S.

great turorial... thanks.. What is the temperature in Celsius of the soldertool?

Great video What temp setting you are using for such a thin tip?

Great tutorial 👽

Awesome job! I've heard it suggested to solder sockets for the IC instead of mounting them straight to the PCB. This way you can easily switch out fried components. I'm not sure if this would have much of an effect on the circuit itself as I haven't tried it yet.

I can't find it, what is the name of that kit ? Thank you.

Thank you for the excellent video. Great production quality. Great getting started content. I guess not many people are into SMT or this would have way more likes and comments.

10:35 most of us are likely looking at the legs, but he's referring to the plastic top corner of chip is beveled [where the yellow line passes]. Its blurry there, but can see clearly when sets it down. I barely caught it myself. Can see it clear at 11:49

is there a BOM for this build? I’m looking at the schematic but I don't have the experience to know what components I need for it.

I would like to ask you, sir, if I clean the bored with acetone it will damage it?

This looks so cool! How do you prevent excess solder from going onto the board and connecting two pads that you don't want connected?

Sir great information thanks.

I wanna resolder a sensor holder thingy on my ps4 remote should i scrub away the old solder to resolder?

A good tip after a long time of soldering: For small SMD components, I find it best to use solder paste with a stencil (you can get a stencil very cheap and quickly produced at many locations). Then place the components in place, and use either a hot air gun (more difficult) or a heating plate (easiest option) My soldering life and PCB assembly really changed after getting a heating plate. cut down the assembly time considerably.

Also, what temperature do you set the soldering iron to?

question: how much power/which temperature you use to surface soldering small parts?

Nice video! what video camera did you use for recording? thanks

Great Video! How come no Liquid Flux?

Nice ... what temp do you set your iron for surface mount parts?

Thank you for youre time , very instructive and interressant video .If i may ask on what site did you find youre sample book thanks

sir, where i get slambook of components please suggest me link or name if that product. thank you

Great video! Thought it would be more complex, will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

I would use some flux, and a little less solder. Excellent Video BTW!

What is the correct temperature of the soldering iron in centigrade for this type of job and also for hot air temperature to remove this chip?

Very great vlog

Funny, came here for advice on smd quad flat pack soldering. I own the Original Electroslüch from LOM. Great guy, great device!!! I use it for locating RF Interference but also so much more both creative and useful.

Thanks for sharing... 😀

where did u got this soldering machine thanks

WOW! VERY impressive, clear and well done tutorial! Probably the best tutorial video that that I’ve ever watched. So nicely done! Thank You!!!

First time viewer… insta-subscribe. Thanks for sharing! You have given me the confidence to attempt surface mounting, something I had been avoiding.

What temperature are you soldering at? What do you recommend for Mobile PCB soldering?
