I'm like you, Steve. I don't bolt anything important without a torque wrench. Even if you don't want to spend $200 for a name brand wrench, at the very least get one from Harbor Freight. Actually, the reports I've read on their torque wrenches nave been quite good. I keep an HF wrench in my pit toolbox so I can leave the good ones at home.
BTW, I think these how-to videos you've been making are just the thing for the newer members of the sport. I did a tiny bit of tech writing between design projects at Kennedy Space Center, but a five minute video is far easier to understand for the less tech inclined than a two page writeup. Besides, even those of us who've been doing this sort of thing for fifty years still enjoy your efforts. Thanks! Ted
