I am impressed by that workspace, but also puzzled. Where are the tools? How does one do any work in a shop and keep the benches looking like that?

It reminds me of the shop in a school where I got a job very early in my career. Everything was perfect, like brand new, benches shiny, no dents or scratches. Machines like new, some still had rust preventative on the machined surfaces. It had been "in use" for 3 years prior to my tenure there. I soon found out why. The previous teacher never let the kids work in it. Students who moved up from the previous years were shocked when we actually used things. 30 years later, everything still worked, but there was sure evidence it had been used by the over 5000 students that had worked there over that 30 years.

Like a good pair of work boots, or baseball glove, you need to use tools to get them broken in.
