      all of my prototypes with mostly 0603 passives by hand using
      nothing more than a fine tipped iron. Also, I use lead free,
      organic water clean flux. I wash the PCB with hot distilled water
      and the results look like a professional machine built PCB. I
      don’t mess with breadboards, I just go from a drawing to a PCB.
      When something needs to be reworked, I use wire-wrap wire and hang
      parts off the board. Then make the changes to the PCB file for the
      future.
