Neat. Let's see... £20 for the oven, about the same again to build a clone of
Elektor's temperature controller, two days of lunch breaks to port the T-con
firmware to run on a PIC...
And about £50 for the tub of solder paste. Ouch.

The big questions are:
- How fast can it heat up (no real way to speed that up other than adding
more heating elements, or add some thermal insulation around the oven)
- How fast can it cool down (add a fan from a fan-assisted oven to speed
that up)
- How hot will it go if you bypass the thermostat?
- How long does it take to reach that temperature?

Hm, I'll take your word for it.
