With my recent clamp acquisitions, my former clamp rack would not accommodate. So I set out to build one that would and could hold more, because I am sure I'll buy more clamps sometime. This current rack takes up the same space as my old one but has the capacity to hold probably twice as many clamps. 
Scrap ¾" plywood, glued and screwed.

You got them all neatly arranged, nothing like being able to get your hands on the right clamp without having to search  .

Now that is a neat concept. Much better then mine, I might have to copy it if I acquire more clamps. | |

I got my clamp rack from a book, but I believe it was a FWW book.
It does hold a lot of clamps that is for sure! | |

Good job on the rack, Dave. I am sure you will take some ribbing about your clamps being different colors.

I could of had a V8  I’m gonna copy that idea. I’m afraid to ask but…Hanging right of your clamp rack is a paddle. What type of woodworking tool is that? What do you use it for? | |

OK now, not all of my clamps are the same color. I am preferential to the red, but I do still have some orange, yellow, and miscellaneous.  | |
