LOL, yes, size is definitely an issue. I use glasses, a magnifying lens and tweezers. You do not have to cut leads that end up everywhere though. It is precise work, no doubt, especially on the ICs. I know in ten or fifteen years I may not be able to see those parts anymore. I like SMT though, didn’t think I would. With good eyes and a steady hand, anyone can do it.
