I did mine on my kitchen counter with a radioshack pen style soldering iron.

As long as you don't get any solder on the cutlery, it's all good.

Thaddy, the Hakko clone is quite capable and a nice bit of kit for the price. Not as nice as the Wellers and Metcals at my workplace, but they're also at least 4x the price of the clone. Used it thus far to assemble a few cables and one-and-a-half USB-DACs, and it hasn't missed a beat going between surface mount, through hole, and cabling.

I think these are my new favorites. Very nice Ron.

Maybe someday I'll be making stuff this nice.

I dont use a station, I lie on my carpet and use a plastic storage box lid where I sit the soldering iron, wires strippers, hot knife and heat gun.

I feel more comfortable on the floor rather then a table, and I really dislike the helping hands I have, I just use it for the soldering iron holder.

I use a rat shack soldering iron also.
