Oh I'm not afeard. I just got done hand soldering $600 of platinum filament that's 1/10 the width of a human hair for a scientific instrument. It's the next-worst thing I've ever hand-soldered and it was because we didn't have a budget to contract out. I never ever ever want to do that again. 0603 under a magnifying light or a microscope is easy peasy in comparison.
