A client's blunt note made me rethink my whole bench setup

I was fixing a gaming PC for a regular (you know, the one with the custom water loop) and after I gave it back, he emailed me a picture of my workbench. He wrote, 'Your bench looks like a bomb hit it, how do you find anything?' It was true, I had three open tool bags, loose screws everywhere, and cables in a pile. That weekend I bought a cheap pegboard from the hardware store and spent $60 on bins and hooks. Now I force myself to put every single tool back in its spot before I start a new job. Has anyone else had a client call them out on their shop habits?

My bench looks like a bomb testing site, honestly.

My friend's bench actually caught fire once.

Sounds like @fionam11 needs a fire extinguisher too
