Subject: Looking fot Tutorials for soldering SMD's

From: "acidblue" <sunblaster5@...>

Looking for tutorials on toaster method of soldering smd parts.
Any advice on soldering smd parts would be appreciated.
I do not want to hand solder them!
However using hot air to solder IC's looks fairly easy, was wondering though would that work for smaller parts like smd led's and caps?
Wouldn't the air move the smaller parts?

Whats a good hot air solder station, that won't break the bank?
The toaster method sounds like the easiest, but would like to see or read a tutorial.
