I did not. I did offer to loan you my M-Tuned ones for design purposes but you opted out?

You young kids and your fancy designer drugs, back in my day all we had was weed and alcohol and we got along just fine.

Prescription since 3rd grade here. Back when they actually used a small amount of discretion when handing the **** out. I'm nonfunctional without it, my brain doesn't know how to focus.

<br />Guess I'm hunting for brackets. Hope I can find some.

Surface mount soldering sucks, especially DIPs and SOICs abd the like. I avoid it whenever possible.

I used to use one of these at my old employer.

<p>if you really want to ball out, you just get a surface mount oven. lay all the parts out. heat it up.</p><p>Or a hot plate works too.</p>

I have oshpark SMT toaster oven, used to laser cut solder masks. Solder paste is too ******* expensive and dies too easy, do not like. The toaster was only $40 bucks though, so there's that.

I bought $15 hubcentric rings on ebay, from Lithuania!

Rings needs to be 54.1 to 64.1 as previously mentioned, I bought 54.1 to 64.0 because it's cheaper. They need to be 6mm thick, I'll turn these down if necessary. My lathe uses 16C collets standard, for me to turn rings I have to remove the collet nose and stick a chuck on, trying to avoid that..
