I'm considering doing a GHB synthesis using this method: https://erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/gaba2ghb.html. Looks pretty simple, but I don't have any scientific equipment so I'm trying to figure out a nice homebrew method. Anyone tried this before? Any and all info would be appreciated!

Did you see dizzle's write up on this here website?

Please keep us in the loop with your experiences- good OR bad! (Fingers crossed for GOOD, obviously!)
Even if your first run goes wrong- please keep it in mind that that info, would almost be of more help to others who want to try this.
One thing I feel I could probably help you with!
You said that you "don't have any scientific equipment so I'm trying to figure out a nice homebrew method."
Well- even though I've now got lots of lovely chem equipment, I started out, as most do, with nothing other than a strong urge to get cooking! Taking care not to incriminate myself- I'll just sat that I'm a pretty good cook- and I was one before I got all my posh kitchen appliances. So basically, over the years- I've spent a lot of time- thinking about how one could make ghetto/homebrew versions of lots of labware/chemistry equipment- and a great deal of it has actually been made and is tried and tested! (and is probably still plugging away in someone's cellar at this very moment!.. Maybe!?)
Oh! Just had a look at the rxn on the hive(Rhodium's) archive. I forgot about that fooker! I first read this a zillion years ago and wanted to try it, dunno why I never got round to it!? Everything sounds(!) pretty simple, no exotic chems OR apparatus(- that can't be ghetto rigged!) I'd gladly lend you some pretty reflux/distillation glassware if you weren't on the other side of the world. :(
From your post- I'm guessing that you're not super ready to be all systems go, just yet. Right? Well, reading the line-
"You can use ethyl acetate (EtOAc), chloroform or methylene chloride (dichloromethane aka DCM) to perform the solvent extractions."
made me wonder- have you thought about/looked into this yet? That's a problem in SOME places round the world! Not a problem in the US- and, I'm guessing that it's not in Canada either? I'm mostly just curious to find out your thoughts, if any, on which to use- and, the ease at which you can aquire DCM/ethyl acetate/chloroform wherever you are. (I fucking LOVE the smell of CHCl3)
CHCl3 looks liiiiike-
