Totally agree with Arvid and Kraftt on the previous posts. I'm a huge fan of cleaning up throughout the day, it might be in my head, but I feel like I work much more quickly and efficiently if I'm not constantly tripping over off-cuts, and end-of-day cleaning goes MUCH faster, particularly if you're not kicking up dust all day.
For tools, what I've settled on is (in my opinion) my minimalist pouch setup, and I keep a Sys-Toolbox designated for daily tools. It's usually loaded with replacement knife blades, extra pencil leads, AAA batteries, and other daily consumables, plus I load it with whatever tools I think I'll need that day beyond my basic kit (knife, 5-in-1, tape, chisel ,etc...), for instance chalk box, line laser, cat's paw, etc.... At the end of each day I empty the tote so it's ready for the next stop or next working day.

And then load it with my trim tools when I’m hanging interior doors and window casing and just take the case from opening to opening and keep it right at my side. Same with kitchen cabinets with another organizer or fasteners.

Got myself a new belt setup this week - went for a Diamondback belt, Diamondback 'The Eagle' pouch and 'Wingman' pouch. Already had the 'GK2' pouch, which I've added to the belt. Super comfortable and appears to be top quality. The belt buckle/latch is fantastic. Might add a set of their basic suspenders, later on.

Added the suspenders and replaced the GK2 pouch with a simple tape measure clip - very happy. The suspenders make a huge difference.

So many cool ideas, thanks. And here's an idea from me. Here is an interesting blog about leather and tools necessary for working with leather. leather-toolkits.com/types-of-leather/cowhide-leather/There is a selection of different leather types, how to choose the type you need and how to take care of it.
