SMD soldering using the sun.
it works astonishingly well. the trick is to de-focus the spot and light up the whole PCB. first we failed by heating the metal plate underneath with a highly focused spot. but that led to accidentally burnt PCB spots at corners and didn't melt the paste.
it works so much better than using a hot plate, so I officially declare it state of the art as of today.

let me introduce to you: flwr. came out nice.
OMG yes!
they made those brick toys compatible with my new blinky flwr board.
measuring, juggling values, messing around, prototyping.
shameless plug: this is on one of my "bebop" breakout boards. but better collect 'em all!
