That's exactly the type of iterative improvement I'm talking about.
It's like building a really good workshop. Ideally everything is exactly where it needs to be, and in the exact order you might need it.
Another example is: my electronics assembly dreamcart (that I haven't gotten to build yet):
-18-24ga stranded wire in at least 3 different colors on spools above the worktable
-Soldering iron
-Oscilloscope
-Power supply
-Multimeter
-Strippers/side cutters [1]
-Crimpers
-Crimps/ferrules
-Network switch/ethernet cables
All of this stuff on a cart that is on casters, with a UPS that can power it so if I need to move away from an outlet I can.
I didn't figure out exactly the tools I wanted and how I wanted them arranged on my first project, but over time I figured out the exact tools I want, and where in my workspace I want them, so that I have to spend as little time as possible looking for things, or thinking about where they might be.
I think seeing the little improvements people have made is really cool. Like the bolts. It's cool because maybe the didn't figure it out on the first time.
[1]: I particularly like this one because it puts the strippers and the side cutters in the same hand, which is just closer to my optimal dream-shop/workflow: https://www.amazon.com/DA76070-KLENK-Wire-Cutter-Stripper-Small/dp/B0007ZKMU6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491788002&sr=8-1&keywords=klenk+strippers https://www.amazon.com/DA76070-KLENK-Wire-Cutter-Stripper-Sm...
