Garrett Hack's portable toolbox - EricU - 12-04-2017
ok, so the toolbox is boring, he uses an aluminum briefcase.

probably have to give them your email
I thought this was really interesting. I know there are low angle jack fans, but I have never been convinced. However, the fact that it's lighter is a pretty good reason to carry one instead of something else.
I was hoping they would have a picture of the briefcase packed, but I guess he just wraps everything in bubble wrap.

Cool!
I think choice also includes intended instruction. Hack is noted for his scratch stocks. The space could be used by other tools also. I don't see extremely expensive tools, either. And, yes, a peek into the case would be fun.

Given all the tools on his list, I kinda doubt they all fit in that petite aluminum briefcase. An interesting article, nevertheless. It's sort of in the genre of Schwarz's anarchist approach - a couple of years later.

I don't know, I was thinking they all fit. Wonder if it's worth asking them for a pic.
Garrett Hack has been traveling around giving classes for a very long time, I don't figure he learned much from Schwarz

The club I belong to brought Garrett in for a class a little while back and he does get all those tools in that case. It's really kind of disheartening to watch what he can do with those few tools.

What tools (that you rely on) are missing from Garrett Hack's toolbox?

Went I have to go out & about to do a bit of work.....like building a loft bed at my daughter's place.....I toss what tools I think I'll need into a tote.....

That is a full size handsaw sitting in there. I can carry all the tools for a job in this tote, and still lift it with one hand.

Works for me

Given he's primarily a furniture maker, it might be unfair to say:
Drawknife
Lathe tools (gouges)
Carving tools
Adze
Rasps
Saw sharpening (saw set, triangular files)
Drilling Tool and bits (most curiously missing - maybe he uses nails or just glue, but...)
Mallet or hammer? (especially most curiously missing, given he has chisels)
Screwdrivers?

Well, if one wants to get picky I don't see a hammer or any type of drill either.

A #79 and a #271 fit the concept and are very useful.
