Totally agree with you @kelly_patel. That pole explanation is the only one that ever made sense to me... because otherwise you need constant wind in a place that has none. They try to say it's from the astronauts moving it, but the flag waves when nobody is even touching it in some shots. It just seems like a basic thing they didn't think people would question too hard.

Yeah, that cheap gray block is basically just for rough work. The good flexible ones let you really feel the edge and follow the panel curve. I've had luck with the Dura-Block brand, the long ones with different grit sleeves. Lets you spread the pressure out so you don't dig new lows.

Saw a video once where a guy painted the shape of his tools right on the wall of his shed with bright spray paint. It looked awesome and you couldn't miss where anything went. Your pegboard idea is just as smart though, because you can move the hooks around when you get new stuff. I need to do this with my own mess of a storage closet. The clear outlines are the real game changer, it makes putting things away the easy choice.
