Clamp Rack #2 - The Re-rack

No matter what, you can still never have enough clamps :-)

-- I started off with nothing I have most of it left

So . . . what sort of noise did that make? YIKES!!

Is it wrong that I laughed for a good 2 minutes straight when I saw that first pic?

Hey Roz, you just have to “clamp down” on all this free stuff, you know the old story “one mans rubbish is another mans treasure” well dont look like no treasure to me LOL : ))))

i actually met a guy once with to many clamps. he had a good 500 4in clamps he used for concrete forms.
needless to say i bought 30 of them for $50.

Man-at least nobody got hurt! Thanks for sharing so we can learn from this. My wife used to think I had too many clamps until she watched me do a glue-up; the first thing she said next was, “Dang, you need more clamps!”.

Terry I’m glad that noone was hurt during such a crash. My heart sank into stomach upon reading your plight. Good to see that all is back to “normal” and that all the clamps are safely stored yet again.

I bet you can clamp that wall board back on! Well I suppose it’s a good excuse to extend your clamp rack to disperse the weight a bit more and…wait for it…...fiit even MORE clamps! Good luck with the cleanup, thanks for sharing.

I bet that made a huge noise when it fell. I am glad no one was hurt, but you didn’t say anything about if there were any casualties in the way of bent clamps. Ha! Ha!

Still, you can never have too any clamps. Just not enough space to store them.

Those are a lot of clamps.

That could happen to anybody Terry, but I’m sure you would have mentioned it if you had been under the clamps when they fell, so I’m glad you didn’t get hurt. In Norway they call that luck in the bad luck. (doesn’t translate too well).

Wow, you certainly were lucky no one was under them. A note of caution; even though you have now screwed the wall board to the studs, you should still screw the clamp rack directly to the studs.

-- Jack T, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life."

Wow!!! You live and learn, I, too, want to know how much noise did this make coming down.
