    Default Simple Clamp Rack

    Ok so I don't have many clamps its not a work of art but hey it works

    I got sick of having to move look for and find some where to put them when finished.

    I had an old pair of Carolla Ski roof racks two pieces of pine from an old pallet and some new 3/8" copper coated steel rod ( a free score)

    1 & 2 - the bits used

    3 - end view of rack

    4 & 5 - finished and hung

    Are you saying old roof racks are worth nothing on ebay?

    Good idea Ray, but you do need more clamps


    PS I'll have to make more clamp racks as I have ran out of clamp storage, again

    Not a problem - looks fine and more importantly it works.


    However, you can never have enough clamps.
