That's fair.
My dad was a mechanical engineer and hobbyist, and he made sure my brother and I used best practices in the shop. A lot of those lessons are still ingrained even after all these years.
Several years ago I caught myself thinking "the job isn't done until the tools are cleaned up and put away", which was a very Dad thing. :laugh:

Yours and mine sound very similar. Could make or fix anything. I still have a 4cc radial 8 cylinder engine he built sitting as a ornament on my work desk.
Jobs only finished when everything is clean and back in its place.
Proved to be good practice next time you need a tool its easy to find and ready to use.
