#1 | | Simple Clamp Rack/Storage Name: Reggie City: Albemarle State: NC County: Stanly Join Date: May 2007  08-21-2008, 07:20 PM
Made this from scraps yesterday. I don't own as many clamps as many of you, so this should serve me well as I add to my collection. Has a capacity of 21 pipe style or bar clamps. Thanks for looking. Comments welcomed.  And, a loaded version---

Looks good, but only one suggestion. Looks like you have solid wood where you cut out your "u"s . Would recommend substituting ply or covering the top of it with hard board or 1/4" ply or something. The long pieces have a tendency to break on solid wood. DAMHIKT.
Looks like it will hold a lot!! |

Looks like it will hold a lot!! Probably a good suggestion. The boards are 11"d, 9"d, and 4.5" d respectively, so hopefully there's plenty of strength. The "u's" are about 2.5" deep if I remember correctly.

Very nice Reggie, I have to reengineer the one I built a while ago and will keep your success with this design in mind .

The rack plans are in a recent issue of WoodSmith Tips. Log on to Woodsmith Magazine and you can probably see them.

That looks awesome Reggie!  I have a bunch of pipe clamps and that looks like a lot better solution than stacking them all on top of each other in the corner. Nothing like doing a glue up and causing an avalanche of pipe clamps because you can't reach that one all the way in the back.
