does anyone know a technological solution to "hands are too shakey for SMD soldering"? I am thinking of some sort of device you can place your hand on that dampens the tremors
(please RT, would really love for my gf to be able to solder fine pitch SMD stuff)
@whitequark https://www.fritsch-smt.de/en/manual-pick-place/lm900 ? Something like this can be built diy with cheap linear rails or (good quality) drawer slides, but I don't know how well this works for tremors
@stereo4x4 oh _interesting_ i kind of want one myself tbh
@whitequark @stereo4x4 I got my hands on one of these and it's really excellent:

I tend to assemble the first handful of a new project on the manual pick and place before placing a larger order.
