Soldering surface mount components by hand can be done, but reflow soldering in an oven is much quicker and produces more consistent results. Building a microprocessor controlled reflow oven is well within the abilities and budget of many hobbyists.
A toaster oven can do more than just make toast; guided by a PICAXE microcontroller, it can make a sweet reflow soldering station.

Microcontroller specialists Atmel Corp. and Microchip Technology Inc. are joining hands to create a powerhouse in the Internet of Things (IoT) realm in a way that is reminiscent of the hookup between Freescale and NXP just a few months ago. The tie between the MCU kingpins is aimed at creating a full-stack silicon house with all the IoT hardware ingredients ranging from MCUs to analog to flash.
