I've been trying to build out a list of everything I'd need to build an Ashida so that I can avoid any surprise expenses related to the project (because I missed a necessary tool), and to give myself the best shot of success.
These are the tools I have currently:

These are the tools I have currently:
- Pinecil (with the default tip from Pine64)
- Sponge for tip cleaning
- Silicone workmat
- Leaded Rosin Core solder
- "Flux" (https://secure.sayal.com/store4/prodetails.php?SKU=245845). Cheapest thing available, used on previous projects but doesn't feel adequate for microsoldering. Maybe it's fine I'm not sure.
- Dremel
- Wire strippers
- Helping Hands + Magnifier
- Soldering Iron stand (planning on 3D printing one)
- Brass Wool (does it clean better than a sponge?)
- Liquid Flux. Unsure of the brand but I'm also not confident in the flux I have right now so I figure its a worthy investment.
- Solder Wick
- Dremel Cutting Wheel
- Sandpaper (3 grits)
- Magnet Wire (not sure what gauges)
- Kapton Tape
