    Default Clamp Racks

    I managed to reclaim a bit of storage space today. Made a couple of racks to mount my clamps on.
    Just some simple plywood racks but they have freed up quite a bit of cupboard space.
    The outer rack is hinged to give access to the big clamps at the back.
    I still have to make another rack for the Irwin Quick Clamps but I'll leave that till it's a bit cooler. The forecast for tomorrow is 42°C.

    Very flash.
    I like the lower stabilising shelf for the long Bessey and Jet clamps. It hurts when they fall on your head if you get them tangled!

    Can you post a close-up of the rack on the left, please. It looks smarter than my racks for those clamps.

    Great use of space.

    Very anal.

    I made something similar last year but didn't go as far as the bottom guide or the folding layer.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I've worn one of those big jets. It drew blood too. Another reason to get them organised.
    The rack on the left is basically the same but with a mid level rack for the shorter clamps.

    I like this idea and have been meaning to make something similar. I got to either make something or start giving clamps away.

    Thanks. I think that makes it clearer.

    My rack is the most used part of the shed after the work bench.

    How about a rack for G-Clamps, they are a bloody nuisance?

    I braved the 40+°C temperatures in the shed this afternoon and finished off Clamp Corner.
    Just needed to tidy the Irwin Clamps
