When I first looked at this video I was thinking you where on a giant chair. lmfao.

[@ZenithsCipher]

Now every woodworking channel becomes a tool review channel.

[@kdtxtooldad]

Thank for this awesome review, found this after I read your blog on this set up, very thorough and thought out. 💯

[@joegutierrez4197]

Great set-up Matthew! My wife bought me the Husky 6-foot work bench. Mine has the stainless-steel work top. She paid $1,200 at Home Depot. I just rolled mine up into my utility trailer. They've got a whole section with about 30 benches already assembled. Thanks for the great content! Blessings!!!

[@evelynmueller6523]

I have a small shop and can only fit the 46" Husky box...I love it. Your unit looks amazing!

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐WOW! That is one nice addition to your shop, so cool to see your continued growth and success. Thanks for the complete transparency from pro's, con's, cost, etc. Nothing wrong with dropping some 💵when it's what you want and/or what you need. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Nice addition to your shop

[@greentreewoodworks6172]

Love this! Need to clean the left side of my shop and add this in there. That Purple Heart will lose its color sitting in that cabinet though. But nothing a little sunlight won’t fix!

[@0313bouchey]

Matt, I love it! I do own a snap on 72” and I have matching cabinet. However, Home Depot boxes weren’t the quality they are now when I purchased mine. Couple guys at work have them, and they are nice. Nice video!

[@reginalawson3438]

Thanks for the review, enjoyable to say the least! Seems to be money well spent. I use pool noodles for stuff that I hit my head on, saves a trip to the ER and to the optometrist for new glasses. Thanks for sharing :)

[@ronswoodshack]

Super nice setup Mighty Matt!!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks!

[@FixItFrench]

That slick black is beautiful though!!!

[@AlienLeader4]

That is a nice set up looks great in your shop. Have you thought about maybe some foam door / window trim to put on the hutch door. 2 reasons one to close the gap and to protect your head if you pump the edge.

[@davidgreen437]

Some people need those big name brands but I've found that husky and us general make good quality boxes.

[@tom.coomes]

Thanks for the good info. You may be able to get matching lock set to make all of them accept the same key. I’m not sure about Husky, but other toolbox brands offer that at a decent price.

[@richspencer6962]

Got the main toolbox from a buddy for 400.00 and I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality.

[@JWG2014]

I got the 84”… going back.. the shipping icompanion had it unsecured in the back of a uhaul truck and it’s on wheels. It was so bent up, the drawers would not open.. it waited a month to get it, it was back ordered. It will take a week to get picked up and 2 more after they to ship to a store (not risking a shipping issue again) one day, I will have one

[@partsdave8943]

Try purchasing that setup from a tool truck, Snap-On, Matco, etc. You’d have to take out a second mortgage on your house. Easily 10 times that price, possibly more!

[@731Woodworks]

Wow

[@user-rr4hr7bz7n]

I started with the 61” bottom then got the hutch and riser and loved it !!! Just wish they used thicker metal would of been perfect

[@johncichon9499]

You do a great job explaining. Thanks! IDEA - perhaps you might put one or two of the thin style fans to put a positive flow of air gently pushing out the gaps. You also might want to put a filter of some type on the outside of the fan.

[@731Woodworks]

Great idea!

[@HW-75]

That is a great setup. If it was me I would put some rubber seal ( similar what they use around doors and windows) and put it around where there is gaps showing around the hutch. then for the top lid where it sticks out, use a thicker rubber seal or maybe try a pool noodle or pipe insulation. another way you could deal with the lid hitting your head, remove the casters and build a wood base for the unit to sit on. since the casters are 6", maybe try making the base around 10"-12" height. One of the nice features having it on the base is nothing can't roll under the unit and you won't get dust build up too.

[@matsudakodo]

Looks great. Get some weather stripping to seal that gap maybe.

[@howardappel3596]

This may have already been suggested, but adding some foam weather stripping to the sides and bottom of the hutch door would probably cut down on dust leakage as well as providing some cushioning for when you bump your head.

[@projecttoyoda4736]

Looks like an excellent setup you got now! Thanks for sharing!

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks for watching!

[@Damon_Barber]

Great video! Very informative and helpful for anyone looking for shop storage solutions.

[@731Woodworks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@masoncampos7043]

I bought the 46" box in January. I love that hutch though. Not sure how I'd like it being 6'4", wonder if I could add a foot to it lol

[@thebigdoghimself]

I would throw a long sheet of 3/4" plywood across the top. That would transfer any weight from the center to the two towers. That way you could throw anything you wanted up there and not worry about scratching the metal. Also, If you don't need to move it around bolt it to the wall for extra safety.

[@cliffordbray6165]

Hey Matt On the Center top you’re or good with wood you could raise it top up where you wouldn’t hit your head

[@oldtireman4665]

Never hurts to check in with your local Snap On dealers. They often have trade ins from mechanics upgrading their setups and the occasion repo from someone who didn’t have the cash flow to keep with with the payments.

[@candyman63121]

I see the casters on the bench, but with the power hookup can you actually move it?

[@Repect4]

I was trying to decide between this and the Icon's from HF and ended up going with the Icons for the extra build quality, but this combo sure is nice.

[@Painfulwhale360]

So the icons are better built?

[@Repect4]

@@Painfulwhale360 Yeah

[@kroffe]

Good for house but not in a shop

[@p24t]

Looks like you drilled a nice mount point for a flexible neck light in your worktop there.

[@731Woodworks]

good idea!

[@rickyirivera]

Im on the fence between this setup and HF US General series 3 72" with hutch.

[@davidtigerfan]

Hi Matt. Ever thought about doing a video on your AC unit? I've been thinking about doing it in my garage.

[@731Woodworks]

video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZmmdnVsbNGDa6M

[@biscuittreewoodworks]

Great improvement to the shop Matt! Wish I had room for something like that! I really need some better organization!

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

That’s a great setup, Matt. Husky isn’t the top of the line, strength-wise, but for what you need it for, it is plenty adequate and it’s super functional, as well as handsome as all get out. For the price and functionality, you nailed it.

[@Mike-ou5ps]

Howdy Mr. 731... Nice video. Was this from your new editor? I gotta say, my jaw dropped when ya mentioned the cost...Holy Shister!!! Hope ya don't mind me pointing out a possible safety issue. Unless I'm mistaken, looks like ya got your "flammables" in the left hand side with electricals on either side of that...cnc and power strip. Though I doubt anything will happen, fumes could possibly build up inside. Solution: A hole drilled in the back side/top area. Small USB powered computer fan mounted at the hole. Small hole drilled at the backside bottom. Fan stays on 24/7 and pulls fresh air into that cabinet. Any fumes that might build up is exhausted into the workshop and diluted. Just a thought

[@731Woodworks]

Great suggestions Mike! Thank you

[@IndyGuy09]

I really like the look and features of that workbench! Not sure the hutch would work for me though. I'm 6'3", so I'd probably have to hunch over to see under the top.

[@E.IS.M.I.A.]

I’m planning on making small cradles out of wood for each wheel to get it higher

[@ryanmenke9554]

you can get a 72 incher which is longerr n taller.

[@timfrazier5142]

Sorry that question was for the end lockers are they adjustable

[@pacificcoastwoodcrafts]

Adding a length of foam pipe insulation to the bottom of the hutch door would help.

[@markbond08]

I continue to wonder how many more tools can fit in the 731 garage

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I've commented before that I've been a Diesel Mechanic/AutoTech/Body Man (I've worn a lot of different 'hats' in my 37yrs in the industry.) My main toolbox is a Snap On, also have a Snap On small box, and my primary toolbox/cart is an old Matco. (Made before toolbox quality became what it is now.) I just wanted to say how much the price you paid for your setup hurts my feelings. My current setup would cost $30,000.00 in today's devalued currency. I say all that to say that Huskies come a long way. And I wouldn't buy a Snap-On and Matco again if I was replacing all of my toolboxes I'd probably just go to Home Depot or Lowe's and get Husky. No one paid me for my opinion on toolbox quality either.

[@731Woodworks]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@robertlee1977]

I agree. I paid around 2500 for an equivalent size blue point bottom chest in the late 90s. When I cover tool storage with my auto students, I tell them the box holds the tools, the tools are what make you money.

[@num9899]

I actually got the double decker tool cheat that was $1398 for $998 because someone put the wrong sticker on it at home depot .. That being said the Home Depot shipping is a nightmare it’s taken over a month to build our shop because the deliveries are so random and you never know when things are coming … p.s. love the vids 👍

[@thebkg]

That's more than likely less of a Home Depot problem and more of the reality that is our trucking and distribution system nationwide right now. These are issues everyone is dealing with. It started with the Shipping Lanes being backed up at the docks unable to offload because there weren't enough dock workers to offload, and not enough Truckers to transport the containers from the docks. This issue isn't getting near enough coverage from Mainstream News which is why many Americans are unaware that this is still a real crisis at the moment.

[@wittworks]

Soft close! I love that closing hutch. But I think I’d hit my head on that horizontal bar.

[@JN2023]

You could put a distance shim between the wheels and the base just enough to remove the risk of walking into the door when it is open.

[@brentfrench752]

It’s a really nice set up, and looks great too! I made my garage cabinets which are probably 5x as many cabinets and drawers as you have, but the point is, you’ll eventually fill up as many cabinets and drawers you can make or buy. If your like me, you probably have a lot of stuff you never use, but you can’t just throw it away so you store it in drawers and cabinets.

[@stansbruv3169]

I didn’t know you were a trooper! Well… glad to have you in the world of woodworking too.

[@mrtrader4628]

What is the number of the two-drawer riser?

[@RevvingRevelations]

Anyone know if the hutch will fit on the other styled 61in with the small mini locker instead of the drawers on the left

[@jayc2193]

I saw a home depot review for the hutch where the guy did exactly that with a picture. He had the grey model and said the pegboard folded out of the way and all he had to do was drill some holes.

[@FredD63]

Matt I bet you could contact HD and they may offer matching lock sets

[@timfrazier5142]

Are the shelves adjustable. Could you take a shelf out if you wanted to?

[@731Woodworks]

yes, you can move the shelves inside the lockers

[@alexcahill4733]

What is the Heights to ground level of work sone ? And dose the peg bord have a double back? Or you see your wall in the hole? I plane to Buy same set up in fall 2023 Tansk in advence from a french canadien Montréal PS canadien cost Will be around 4250$ TX in

[@mattmoses42]

Have you considered mounting the laguna to the ceiling?

[@731Woodworks]

I thought about it but it fits so good there

[@thebkg]

Here's an idea Matt. Since there's space on the edges of the Hutch Lid you could mount some stiff foam to those edges to both protect your head (bald heads are more exposed to harm 😝) And seal the insides from dust. 👍 And Now we both need to git ourselves to Church Brother!! (Posting on Sunday morning.. Is that a sin??) LOL!!! (J/k)

[@MattsTAW]

Good information, Matt. I like the set-up. Could you attach some sort of neoprene material to the hutch door to close the gap some? At least at the bottom. Might also help when you bash your head on it. May not look quite as clean with it, so just a thought.

[@sapper1st]

Matt What is your total width?

[@midnightsun2483]

I have a lot of different husky cabinets and roll arounds. They work great for me. Trick I do when they get dusty from little saw dust? Take a California duster and wipe them off.

[@jhenderson4078]

It would be cool to get someone to 3D print some new custom badges for your boxes since you removed the cheap-looking Husky badges.

[@731Woodworks]

good idea!

[@rogerholappa3669]

It appears that this is no longer available. Do you have any more info.

[@731Woodworks]

Not sure, sorry. I saw it was out of stock too. A friend of mine found one on closeout at his local Home Depot a couple weeks ago. Might be worth checking in store.

[@Tsarunai1]

Those gaps seem like a good opportunity to add foam/stripping. Seals it up and can reduce the impact to your head.

[@dwixom]

PIVOT!

[@jaredschroeder4431]

All my mechanic friends all say the toolbox does not make you any money. It houses the tools that does make you money. A lot of them have the Matco or Snap On tools but their tool boxes are Husky, Craftsman or refurbished/well used tool boxes.

[@BillCoale]

For the bottom gap on the hutch door, I bet a door sweep (or two because of the width) would do wonders for keeping out dust. The sides are a little more challenging, but maybe some insulation tape strategically positioned along the sides would work.

[@Jimc4007]

Looks like a great setup but afraid it's a bit out of my price range. If I had that much money available I would be more likely to go for the Sawstop then consider cabinet space.

[@mprents]

I dont think you mentioned how deep the drawers on the top extension piece are, nor is there a link to that for home depot! :( -BigD

[@RobMassie]

Did you ever find out?? I'm curious as well.

[@thebigdoghimself]

I ended up with newage pro cabinets and I regret my purchase. I wish I had gone with 3 of this type of rolling cabinets. The newage base cabinets have 5 drawers, 4 of which are a little over 3" deep. The problem is you really do need shallow drawers for everything from chisels to wrenches and screwdrivers, otherwise you run out of room because you end up wasting a ton of space by putting shallow items in a deep drawers.

[@Mostviews111]

Wax the matte finish the sawdust won't stick

[@Spar3Tim3r]

Hey Matt, can you do a video on chemical safety? Like with a demonstration on Linseed oil combustion? My garage recently caught on fire and I, now having to start from scratch, don't want anyone else to have to go through that. Thanks for all that you do, your channel is a huge reason I decided to pull the trigger and go all in on woodworking.

[@adamc3474]

Your setup looks great. Wish I had the money and the room to get that setup. Maybe get a piece of rubber or foam to put along the bottom of the hutch handle to help seal it against the work top and it could double as a head protector for you. Stay awesome.

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Great review. About the locks… unlock and pitch the keys. I have a craftsman red rollaway purchased in the 80s. Lived in many places, lost the keys decades ago. I figure a decent drill and 1/2 bit unlocks any toolbox out there. As you know from your history the bad guys know this too. Nice that you have the option but in reality…

[@nathanhudson2258]

Honestly the husky box is cheep trash I had one for 3 months just like that in it buckled in the middle. I had the warranty and they never offered to replace my box

[@731Woodworks]

What causes it to buckle exactly? I’ve stood on top of mine and it didn’t budge.

[@Kasper623]

You post some great stuff on here, and I know I’m likely gonna sound like a troll but nobody subscribed to this channel is gonna care about a tool box. Maybe I speak for myself but I think We want actual woodworking content. IMHO this weeks vid just fell flat. That’s ok though.

[@danwilkening888]

Storage and efficiency are an important part of the shop. Videos like this may not be for you but it sparks ideas for lots of people. Keep up the good work Matt.

[@Kasper623]

Yes they are. And I’m not trying to knock Matt. He does some great videos. I guess to each their own but if I’m watching a woodworking channel then I’m looking for inspiration or tips about the craft and less about what’s in their shop. If I want a review on tools then that’s what Project Farm is for. That’s all. Keep up the good work Matt. 🍻

[@731Woodworks]

Jason, thanks for the feedback. I knew posting this wouldn't be for some, and I was okay with that. More woodworking is coming very soon, stay tuned. Got a very cool table saw jigs video filmed and being edited now. Should be out in a week or so. I wanted to post a detailed review of this box for anyone looking at these Husky set ups because I couldn't find a review that covered it. So, really it was more for folks in the market for Husky boxes, woodworkers or others. This video also served a second purpose. My video editor quit unexpectedly a couple weeks ago and I used this video as a test edit for 3 potential editors. So it helped me choose the one that best fit my style and needs for the channel moving forward. Hope that helps to make sense of my thinking on it.

[@Kasper623]

@@731Woodworks Hey I appreciate the shout. Your content is great and I appreciate the explanation. None needed my friend. You’re an inspiration not only to me but many others. Keep up the great work and maybe one day I’ll be able to afford a sweet tool box like that. 😂 Cheers.

[@midnightsun2483]

I like stuff like this. I think most woodworkers are always looking for different storage cabinets

[@ryanmenke9554]

do they not sell these anylonger?

[@731Woodworks]

I don't think so
