I have a homemade station too, made with a dimmer switch. :) I used it with the old hardware store Weller 40w and 80w, then with a nicer weller, with a blue handle and foam grip.
Even after I got a Hakko, I used it with the 80w for doing nimh packs. But with the nimh age long gone, the poor thing never gets used anymore
