Time theft" I call that my brain's union break.

Honestly, the sealed whiskey from the 50s is the real find. Tbh he better have cracked it open with the boys. That's a story right there.

Honestly, my workbench is all pocket holes and it holds up fine.

That's a clever fix for the mud pan. How deep did you cut the notch so it would hook on but not slip off? I like @hollyr28's magnetic clip idea for holding small tools, but for something heavy like a pan, your stick method seems solid.

Right? It's wild how that works. I used to think a lower price was the only way to get jobs. Then I bumped my rate up. The calls didn't stop. The clients who called were way more serious. They listened better, didn't argue about every little thing. It filters out the people who just want the cheapest thing.
