I'm building one of those plywood dollies for myself. A sheet of 3/4" is about all I can handle anymore. Imagine how many clamps you'll have when your 65 years old ! Plan to build another clamp rack some day. You've got a heck of a start on a quality collection of clamps and you can figure having at least the same amount when you get your metal fab shop going. This video was crammed full of great ideas and now I,m stomping on the like button , only because I don't have access to a love button.👍

Love this build. Way to think big picture and add accessories. I have all my clamps hanging on a wall, but as we all know, wall space is too valuable to waste on things that can go elsewhere. Plus, making multiple trips to and from your clamps is inefficient. I’m super inspired to make something very similar to this. Thanks for all the great ideas, April!

If you want, check out another great shop helper I found and use to move sheet goods onto the table saw. It is named the "Leg Up" and clamps to the left side of the front edge of the table saw and allows a person all by themself to easily slide a full sheet of 4X8 material onto the saw for cutting. It would work seamlessly with the hercules dolly you use to move sheet goods around the shop. I am not a small man and have hefted full sheets of material around my entire career but now, being in my late 60's I do love to have something that makes it a easier task and saves me wear and tear. You can find video's on KZfaq about the Leg Up and might find it worth checking out. Keep up the great content and I look forward to meeting you again.

That’s a great hack on the Rockler clamps. I’ve seen other videos where long pieces of lumber were inserted into similar aluminum clamps to help stiffen them up. You could do something similar just at the newly cut end to prevent your notch from opening up over time and weight.

Last year, I attached a similar glue rack (nowhere as nice) with pipe clamps to my wood rack. I had a hinged 2x4 pop out about a foot below the hinge to push the lower section outward. The glue drips away, but it was more to prevent me from having to bend over due to a bad back. My suspended pipe clamps are all 5 feet long. I also use it for sawing large sheets of plywood. I couldn't afford anything as fancy as yours, so I have a hodgepodge of mismatched clamps. I love your system and dream of having a shop your size to play in. Nice build April!

Love the rack! - For the Paper rolls, you can slot the dog ears from the top to the holes. Because you will always apply downward pressure when rolling out paper, the rod will never come out. To replace a roll, you then simply have to lift the rod up, replace the roll and away you go. Great job April.

For my paper dispensers, I use one of those paper cutters with the rolling cutter head, but it requires some fiddly hacking to get right at first unless you spend a *lot* of money on one big enough for the rolls of paper you use and just mount it. But it works a treat once you get it right and if you do it right the first time, it doesn't require too much maintenance, just an occasional sharpening of the blades and oiling of the bearings, which even if you use it a ton only needs to be done every 3-6 months or so, even longer if you don't mind the occasional rough cut of the paper.

great video you do awesome work and ideas. for your craft paper and wax paper roll make it quick and easy to refill is just notch the supports so the bar just drops in and lifts out. you will always be pulling down on them so the rolls wont fall out. Save the wood from being torn up over time being unscrewed and screwed back in. Love the new shop too.
