Thanks for the link - looks good :) Do you also have a picture of the
oven itself? I'm asking cause the oven you use is likely not to be
available where I live (europe) but a similar one might would do.

Then, is there a time saving in doing it this way? I could imagine
that placing the parts onto solder paste and especially moving the pcb
into the oven might be terribly critical - no? So far I hand soldered
all my boards but I agree that it takes quite a while so I'm of course
interested in potential improvements.
