The best way to learn SMD soldering is to build something that actually does something cool when you're done. This NE555 rotating LED practice board produces a mesmerising chasing "water lamp" effect once assembled — power it from 3–12V and the LEDs loop in a smooth sequence, instantly showing whether your solder joints are solid.

Make something you didn't plan to. The Maker-O-Matic 3000 will get you started.
