It's never my intention of making anyone look bad - quite the opposite! I post lots of detail showing how to do things hoping that people will be inspired to take on their own projects and hopefully by seeing how I do things people can be successful. I also promptly respond to design questions people have in the hopes that I can help them with their projects - in the last week or so I posted design drawings for a rear rack that someone wanted to build and was wondering how to accomplish it.
My workshop is in my home basement. It's probably better than an average DIY-er's workshop, but it's definitely not over the top, especially compared to all the workshops that are featured in the woodworking magazines. I do my fiberglass and painting in my home garage (too smelly to do in the workshop). The only tools I have that aren't typically found in a home basement workshop is a metal-cutting bandsaw, and I have a welder in my garage. Other than that, just normal home DIY tools - table saw, etc.
