is old fashioned through-hole. I wouldn't mind seeing a tqfp video! I could do a tqfp 44pin without much issue with my current tools, but a tqfp 64pin that's still 10mmx10mm (or was it 14mmx14mm??) is pushing it with the soldering tip I have.

That's the point. People get scared when someone mentions SMT but there's really no reason. those IGBT drivers are huge
Tip size is not important. My tip is 2mm wide. I don't like the thin ones as temperature regulation is quite poor. See If i can make a video next time I solder one. Friends ask all the time when they blow their Arduino mega/ Nucleo, etc.
Here's one I've been asked to get high resolution pictures from. Best my camera could do anyway.
