Who will be first??? Working MiniMIG v1.1

[amigadave]

PCBs are completed, I am sure components are arriving and soldering irons and/or ovens are heating up.  Who will be the first to complete their very own MiniMIG.  Unless I am mistaken, Dennis produced 4 MiniMIGs, kept one and gave the other three to friends of his.  Who will own working MiniMIG number 5?

Hopefully my bare PCB of the v1.1 MiniMIG will be arriving soon, but I doubt I will be first to complete the project.

So speak up and let us know when yours is working and of any changes, or problems you come across in the process.

P.S. I am looking for someone that has SMT tools and expertise to install the SMT parts on my board so I can finish the rest of the project myself.  If you have these skills, or know of anyone else that can help me, send me a PMail, or post the answer here for others that may also need the help.

I have SMT rework tools here, dunno if I'd be of any help though heh, I'm in Sydney, Australia... Shipping your board here would cost an arm, a leg and a testicle

The testicle I wouldn't miss as they are both disconnected now anyway, the arm and leg are another story.  :lol:

Anyone else in the USA have these skills, or am I going to have to use the toaster oven method?

Is there anyone in the USA that has bought all their parts for building a MiniMig that could send me the BOM and the names of the suppliers they used?  I am expecting the delivery of my v1.1 MiniMig PCB within the next 7 to 10 days now since the Royal Mail strike has allowed some shipments.

Thanks in advance
