quick and dirty clamp store

Hey guys while in the middle of a project looking for my short aluminum sash clamps (as I haven't got around to finding their forever home) I had a bit of a brain wave and quickly knocked up the rack. It took all of 15 mins and holds 8 of the little suckers. It is for the type that have the dovetail shaped supports, I got mine from Timbecon when on special some time ago. The single strip of 12mm ply has dovetail cutouts that the support feet slip into and since the top support is against the cupboard the bottom support just needs to rest on the cupboard. I used a sliding bevel gauge to get the correct angle for the 'dovetail' cutout. This all sounds difficult but the images should make sense.

Cheers.

Saw this one recently, granted not a 10 minute job but does look nice

DOUBLE DECKER CLAMP RACK DAVID STANTON EASY WOODWORKING - YouTube David Stanton

That David Stanton effort is just about a copy of mine. Can't remember when I posted about it but it was a looong time ago.

disgusting display of gluttony, was trying to say another word similar to horn but that was not allowed. :D

Tony, it's fairly easy if you sell them and you just keep spiriting a few out of stock. There's got to be some bonuses for the effort. :D They don't all actually fit there now, I've had to install some extra storage since then. Believe it or not there has been some worse displays of clamp largesse on here.
