After only 2 weeks the PCB's came in from OSH Park, and I got my chance at hot air reflow soldering. It is a very fast technique and I can confirm that extremely cheap equipment works great. Having only done this once I can already say that I will always use this technique for SMD parts, I found it a lot easier than soldering with a normal soldering iron.
I was very apprehensive about the board and breathed a huge sigh of relief when it worked. Now on to creating the program and the woodworking...
