My First Clamp Rack

It’s always nice when your tools have a “home” to get back to. Nice job.

Great idea I will copy that as my clamps always ind up in knots, that’s what it seems like when I want one, thnks for the idea

Sorry, but I have a VERY negative critique! There is one glaring problem with your clamp rack. It’s actually holding your clamps. Get them off of that rack and put them to use!!! Lol.

Please don’t take this the wrong way; You have a nice rack!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

Nice work. Ck out the one I made that opens as as you get more. Good job.

I was having a similar problem – clamps in drawers, under the workbench, etc. I was thinking about building a clamp rack when I realized the solution was staring me in the face. A few years ago, I managed to pick up a wire bakers rack on wheels. I use it to hold the parts of my projects and some small power tools. It is easy to move to my workbench or to the router, etc. But I found that I could easily hang my clamps from the sides and the back of this rack without interfering with my ability to access the work pieces or tools. So now, whenever I move my work pieces from place to place, all of my clamps move with them! :-) I use bungee cords across the bars of the long clamps to insure that they don’t fall off when the cart is moved.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been really enjoying making these basic projects for the shop and house lately. They are very satisfying because they are functional and help me get organized. I made a little cabinet for my little guys room to house their cable box and DVD player. Just plywood sanded smooth and my boys don’t care that it’s not burled walnut and nine coats of hand rubbed lacquer :-)

Hey Ken, I checked out your clamp rack. Very ingenious and well done. I couldn’t for the life of me find the clamp rack in picture #4 though ;-)

Skip, great idea with the bakers rack. I love things that are multi-functional.

Thanks again and take care,
Joe
