Psst...Please don't tell my wife you can never have too many clamps!

You know that you might just start a clamp contest with that picture, don’t you?

I love to see what people collect, mine are mostly cheapies, but have a couple of nice ones.

I’m too lazy to lay them out, but I probably have almost twice as many clamps (half are cheapies). You can never have too many clamps! (especially when the cheap ones go on sale at Harbor Freight).

Ok, I’ll start it. I’ve got ‘em every where. Guess some day I’ll have them all in one place.

You guys all know that you don’t have nearly enough clamps. Tim, your collection is impressive, but that is not enough. Actually I don’t have any of those little spring clamps. bbqKing

He or she with the most clamps wins.

I can’t say how many, but I do have a few.

But, like everyone else, it’s never enough.

The not so funny part of this, is has slowly dawned on me that I am gonna have to build something for all of the clamps now. That is not supposed to be the next project. Kerfluffle!

I am about to go out & buy a couple of band clamps. There are some great specials around.

One of the “problems” that we all with this hobby/profession is that with clamps, tools, jigs etc. we simply never have enough. And as the collection grows, sIKE, we find a need to build a cabinet or cart to store them which in turn creates a need for more tools.:)

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Scott, that’s one of the best things about this particular hobby/profession/obsession; it’s a self-feeding addiction. No need for outside influence.

And no, you can never have enough clamps. I’m sitting in the mid 70s at the moment, but when you’ve got a few things going on … well … you could always use a few more.

Now I am going to have to take a pic of mine. If I am lucky, my collection will double in the next week or two.

Well here’s wishing you the best of luck!

The only problem with Gary’s is that it would only hold around 100 clamps. That’s a joke, man. I don’t do the smiley faces. bbqKing.
