Wall Mounted Clamp Racks

I think I am missing some brains this morning.

3 strips of plywood (I assume 3/4”) glued back to back. I got it until there…

Then the fourth piece cut 45 degrees lengthwise and only 1/2 glued? Are you saying your french cleat is based on a 3/4 inch piece of plywood on the bottom half and the whole part holding the clamps is removable, sort of sliding off the top, and not attached? If you say yes, then I get it.

I am amazed it’s strong enough.

mtkate -
yes you got it exactly. It is very strong because the cleat is the entire length which both spreads the load and is based on long grain to long grain glue up.

I’ll give this one a try. My clamps are all over the place… tsk tsk.

Looks nice, having everything organized that way. I really like how you have your collection of planes displayed too.

Nice…. I had to build a clamp rack on hinges due to shop being on the small side. Nice collection of planes as well.

Nice build and great organization. You have to admit, this was just showing off, LOL. Do you have part ownership in Bessy? I’m jealous and in awe all at the same time. Great looking project, I really like to mobile stand. BTKS

Smart design. We used a similar set up but not quite as “neat” as we have an over abundance of odd and ends of tools and other whole/partial sets from years of collecting. (Maybe it’s time to purge, but who can throw away a tool?) I do need to redo the spacing bar on the clamps so they don’t bump each other as I clamp my canes while they hang, but for now it’s working. http://lumberjocks.com/mmh/workshop

Looks really good, and I love that cabinet for the hand planes!

-- - Jei, Rockford IL - When in doubt, spray it with WD-40 and wrap it with duct tape. The details will attend to themselves.

wow, looks like a bunch of soldiers lining up… well done… can never have too many clamps…

-- New Project = New Tool... it's just the way it is, don't fight it... :)

Wow, those are some clean clamps :)

Look at all those clamps.. Well done on the clamp rack.

Thanks for sharing
