Gil  Ron et al I have this  rework station thing  with x - y  table  and  
kick ass  stereo microscope with  fiber optic  illuminated  gizzie
I feel like the King!
But alas the King  has old trembley hands.... 
If only   we had  this  when my  hands  were young!

Thanks  Gil. I use an Optivisor, forget what power the lens is, really good 
Ott light  and lots of patience. There is a stereo microscope on
the bench but it's  only used for inspection and if I get lazy I use a web 
cam or USB microscope  :) Those of you that don't think you can do 
it get some scrap SMD boards  and practice removing and soldering the parts 
back on. The only problems I  have is turning itty bitty parts
into high velocity projectiles while  getting the hold downs 
positioned....I'll find them when I find the missing  socks from the clothes dryer :)

Hey Ron:


My hat is off to you doing 0402 stuff.  I could see those 'lil  
ant-fart-sized bits with the right magnification, unfortunately, my hands  shake at an 
amplitude twice that size.
