Hello Frank and welcome to the forum. You do not need a workshop full of machines to shape panels. It is possibel to make just about anything with a few hand tools. Machines will speed things up sometimes but I feel sometimes machines are used when simple hand methods are quicker. It often depends on whether you are making one or two or a batch of the part. A wheeling machine will speed things up and you can do just about anything else by hand and get machines as you feel the need.
