I recently conducted a workshop in Atlanta, GA for WorkbenchCon 2020. This was a hand tool workshop and I needed to pack and organize my many hand tools for travel. I used several products from Husky to safely pack my tools up for the road trip.
The three products that I used to pack up my hand tools included the Husky 22 in. Connect Rolling System, Husky 10-Compartment Interlocking Parts Organizer, and Husky 19 in. Pro Hybrid Tote and Tool Organizer. This is how I used these products when I traveled to Atlanta, GA for WorkbenchCon.
The Husky Connect Rolling Cart consists of a 3-piece mobile system, which includes a small part organizer, tool box, and rolling cart. This is a 22 in. wide interconnecting system and was integral to holding my hand planes and some larger items.
Using 1/2 inch Baltic Birch I built a divider to keep my hand planes secure and separated so as to not damage the finish of the planes. The divider was held together with glue and brad nails.
The hand plane divider sits securely at the bottom of the tool box with plenty of vertical clearance.
The tool box has a tray that sites above the hand plane divider. I use this tray to hold my card scrapers, mallet, burnisher, and hand plane screw driver.
The rolling cart has a large compartment. I used this part of the rolling cart to hold larger objects that don’t need to be separated for protection.
The rolling cart holds items such as bench hooks, hold fasts, hand plane accessories, a mallet, sharpening solution, and my woodworking apron.
The Husky interlocking organizer gives you the ability to stack multiples organizers and lock them together.
The interlocking organizer is great for much smaller parts. The trays can be arranged to your liking. In my case I used the larger parts trays fro my marking gauges and honing guide. I removed one row of trays to make room for my dovetail saws.
The Husky Pro Hybrid Tote also includes a tool organizer. It’s constructed of heavy-duty 1680D polyester fabric and reinforced edges prevents wear at the corners and edges.
For the left side of the folding tool compartment I stored my Stanley Sweetheart 750 bench chisels. The 8 separate elastic compartments and pockets were the perfect size for my chisels.
For the right side of the folding tool compartment I stored my Veritas and Lie Nielsen spokeshaves, as well as small double squares.
