Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Nice haul, Dave! YOU ROCK!
I know you said floor space was an issue, but a clamp rack that you can roll to the job is much more convenient...

My shop is only 25 x 25' and the assembly table is in the middle...it's not a far journey to any wall. Plus I have to have somewhere to store the peach paint

I like that, but how do you deal with getting the clamps out from the back tier without disturbing the ones in front. I have only a 8" ceiling. Also did you cut the slots specific for the clamp bar width?

No ideas, need something myself. In fact, I'll see about talking Joe into doing a clamp rack workshop

If you look at the picture below of my clamp rack you will see I have a nice home set up for those yuckee orange clamps you got. I will be happy to remove those unsightly orange clamps for you .  | |

I think I may have found what I was looking for. http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworki....aspx?id=26013
After seeing Travis's set up, I think that something like this will hold the maximum amount of clamps in the least space, with easy access. I've now got close to 60 clamps of different styles, so it will be tricky to build that to accommodate all the different shapes. Of course I could get rid of my 30 some F-style clamps to make room for the big boys, but they are soo handy at times.
Keep the ideas coming, and a pic is worth a 1000 words.
Dave

Dave that was a good haul. Don't tell Travis but I think you may have carried off some of his better clamps.
Boy, Travis would have a real problem with my clamp rack, it has just about every color on it. The only color that I know that's not on it is the Woodcraft green ones, but it's just a matter of time. I buy what's on sale.
