Don't worry fans the poster child for WGD isn't giving up clamping to "shoot a few brads while the glue dries". He just preferred his 60 some clamps to all be color-coordinated....all Bessy Red. And he had to make room for the 12 Craftsman Bailey clamps he stoled from Big Lots.
Now I have a not so sad problem, more clamps than my current clamp rack can hold. I have to make a new one. I would prefer wall mounted as floor space is at a premium in my shop. Travis had a nice set-up, that holds a great number of clamps. I didn't pay enough attention to it to get a mental picture of how it was built
So let's see some wall mounted clamp rack ideas
TIA,
Dave

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100$150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"

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?
Dave
My clamp rack is hinged so the front leaf swings out of the way to reach the rear. I like mine because you can add layers and you can make it any width you want. If I make another one, I will cut the slots specific to the clamp.
I'm not sure if this is feasible or if I'm just losing my mind, but what about hanging them from the ceiling? Sorry, a small shop forces you to think WAY outside the box. Actually, it forces you to think halfway across the universe from the box.

Nice score! Did you write that your shop is only 25' x 25'? Gees, I wouldn't know what to do with that much space!
Yep, but check back through the thread and you'll find he only has 8" of headroom. Can you say very short elves?
