As usual, I'm of two minds about it. I find myself agreeing with both Stern and Dogg. Having said that, I would difinately rather look at a magazine or a show where ordinary guys build extraordinary machines without unlimited use of professional equipment or employees. In my home shop, which has most of every kind of tool I can afford,(and after years of buying stuff, piece by piece as I could afford it) I build some pretty cool stuff, usually the hard way. Want a cool looking steel bracket? I might be able to do it with a torch, welder and lots of grinding. Wish I had a 150 thousand dollar water jet cutter? I suppose, but lets be real. And I guess that is what I'm really saying in summation, I like my bikes, people and craftmanship to be real, cause that inspires me more than watching demi-gods sorta build stuff. One final note, I really used to like a custom rodder (car) magazine called Old School Rodz. Check it out if you can find it. 
Got my tools the same way and make my stuff the same way. The water jet would be great but heck I would settle for a nice plasma cutter.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
