I am still trying to figure out how to fill my rolling clamp rack up. I stole/borrowed am idea from Jimmy's shop. I mounted two pieces of aluminum angle and put my 2" spring clamps on them. I added the two pieces inside to hold my "F" style clamps. I need to add a little latch on each side so they don'y fall ot when I roll it around. The clamps were on the wall, so this is a good thing.    | | Views: 612 | |

The rack/cart looks good Tom  . You get more on it than on the commercial racks.

What wheels are you using, and are you happy with them.

How many K body style clamps are you able to get on it?
How does it roll, can you move it without too much trouble?
Looks VERY good, and it is something I have been wanting to do for awhile myself, I just haven't seen any prior layouts that seemed to hold an appropriate amount of clamps for the space that it takes up. | |

I got around the problem of building a mobile clamp rack by building a smaller workshop

I have 29 parallel clamps on it Travis. I have cheap casters and I want to change them out. I want 4 all swivel, but don't need locks on them. It does rack a little side to side, but I don't it move fast.

Tom,
Would it be too much to ask if you would be able to post some drawings for the clamp rack? I am space constrained in the workshop I'm setting up. I'm starting up in woodworking, so this is my first workshop.
