This Solution’s Both Clever and Surprising: Clamp Storage Rack

Рет қаралды 66,820

Күн бұрын

It’s time to upgrade my storage with a new clamp rack to keep the woodshop organized. I made this clamp storage rack out of baltic birch plywood. The lines of the clamp rack design mimic those from my hand tool storage to give the shop a cohesive look. This one-day build is the perfect solution to wrangle all of my clamps in one place, making the build and glue-up processes much smoother.

I like the idea of adding shorter clamps in between on the lower lever much better than the clamp racks that stick out from the wall.

Great job! I was not going to make my clamp racks(48 years worth) a project, but this rack changed my mind. For me, using as many shop tools as I can is a big part of a new build. You say your a Naturalist, I just say I'm a Tree Hugger!....LOL

Just a tip when cutting multiple evenly spaced notches you can use a sled with an index block to move to the next notch cut without constantly adjusting the table saw fence.

This is a really nice clamp rack. But due to my very limited wall space I have become a fan of having the clamps come from the wall out instead of running along the wall, this way I can get 4 parallel clamps in the same space as I get 2 if I run them along the wall and I am able to 6 or 8 F clamps in the same space as 2 or 3. If I had a ton of wall space, I think I would still do them from the wall out, so I had more wall space left for other things. But yours is still a great looking rack and if it works for you then it's all good. 😃

@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah I have a lot more wall space then I do floor space in the shop, and I can fit a lot more width wise with this solution than I can depth wise.

@atomictyler Жыл бұрын

good stuff. I've got some left over baltic birch that I was looking to do something with and I need a clamp rack. I like how this keeps the clamps closer to the wall and doesn't stick out to far. I might put something like this together this weekend.

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks oh I meant to ask. how do you like the rip-flip fence on your table saw? It seems like it could be super useful when doing something like making cabinets. just set all measurements for your project and if you forget to cut something you still have the exact measurement that was used for the other pieces. I've wasted so much time trying to setup the exact measurement for a piece I forgot to cut when I did all the others with a specific measurement.

Nice clamp rack! I’ve been loving danish oil in natural for children’s furniture, etc. because it’s easy to use, just be sure to pop the grain before applying but it’s a protective finish and lightens after curing too so I’d personally use danish oil on shop projects too

Great project ! When making your small support blocks you pulled the sled back with the cut piece trapped between the blade and stop. Eventually that will cause at least a bind that can damage sled, blade and workpiece and at worst an injury. Always control the trapped piece.

Your baltic birch looks like it has a melamine coating on it. Is that right? I had to go to a specialty hardwood source (about 40 miles from the smaller town I live in) to even purchase a 4 by 8 sheet of baltic birch ply. The big stores don't ever have it. Too expensive, I guess.

Sawdust is man-glitter, so wear it proudly. Serious question here: I've wall-hung my pipe clamps, and they're really damn heavy... in your experience, how is the weight differential between your bar clamps as compared to the Pony-style pipe ones? Not that I need more clamps... asking for a friend... you know.

Great job with the rack. Personally, I prefer the kind that stack the clamps one in front of another; see JKM's and Two Bit Woodworks for what I'm referring to. They're far more space efficient. For shop projects I like shellac. Easy to apply, dries fast and gives good enough protection.

@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I think really depends on what you consider important in the shop. I would much rather have the floor space over wall space any day of the week.

@NWGR Жыл бұрын

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I agree to an extent; if you build your racks so they hold 4 parallel clamps deep, that's where the space savings start to add up. Going by my bessey revos, they're 3 clamps "wide", so with the clamp racks holding at least 4, you get a horizontal space savings as well as the floor space savings. AT about 6 clamps deep they can start to jut out a bit much. I'm not knocking your design; I'm just working in 2/3 of a one car garage so every microinch of space has to be accounted for lol

@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Жыл бұрын

No, I can see why you might think that. If you stack them outward, you are looking at 8 to 9 inches off the wall, which means items below have to push out by 8 or 9 inches, thus taking up more floor space. Becuase you can't put things as close to the wall, again I think it comes down to how you prioritize space.

@richardrodgers1883 Жыл бұрын

@@NWGR I have mine stacked outward and just high enough that I can store my router table and table saw against the wall under the clamps when the router or table saw are not being used, that way I have floorspace to use for other things like assembly or finishing.
