I'm widely criticised on other forums for my methodology.

    Anybody else work the same?

    Just one of the plans swimming around inside my head.

    I'm often told my head is full of $#!t!

    I pretty much work the same. I believe that if someone wants to copy something that I have done, then the idea is the important thing, that and photos should be enough to work on. Exact dimensioned drawings seem unnecessary once you have the idea.
    BTW It seems to me that you ought to ditch those other forums.
