Bessey Clamp Racks

[@floydburkes1410]

I like the idea of doing the upper and lower at the same time. Nice.

[@snachlas]

Hello Peter. Well I only ran across this four years after you produced it! But I must agree with Kent; your entire shop is furniture quality. I just bought a couple of more Bessey clamps so I bought another of the $30 steel hanging brackets from Rockler. While they do a great job, they’re not nearly as eye-catching as yours! After I have acquired another 10 Bessey parallel clamps, I will definitely use your plan! Thanks as always. You remain “Dr. Clever.”

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Steve, Gosh, you are very kind. Cheers. Peter

[@kentvandervelden]

Your "it's a tool, not a piece of furniture" look better than my best pieces of furniture.

[@garyhorton6652]

Peter, I like you clamp hangers better than the commercial ones I purchased. Thanks for sharing how to class up the shop area!

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Gary, Is the expression "Pimping one's workshop" ? Maybe I am not quite up to speed with these things. Peter

[@capti443]

Very well done! I must say that, being from the US, I find your turns of phrase and figures of speech to be quite entertaining (and refreshingly articulate). .... Bravo!

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Thanks! 😃

[@jenserikebbesen8405]

Thank you very much for this great video which have inspired me a lot. I’m in the process of redesigning my workshop and I find your videos very informative. Keep up this nice work of yours. Jens from 🇩🇰

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cabralbong8]

I've seen so many clamp racks but your design is SIMPLY the BEST!

We appreciate the great video as always! I wish I had you for a high school teacher, I would have had fun learning as you are a great instructor! Jeff

[@stuartmorgan9327]

Really enjoyed this one Peter. I was a bit X Carved out - probably because i don't have one! I made a small clamp rack and did it by cutting slots into a piece of wood and then giving that a backboard for mounting. I also found that the domino made a perfect size slot for the Bessy kliklamps. I have 4 on the end of my bench so that they are always to hand.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Stuart Morgan Hi Stuart Yes I used the Domino to do exactly that and it may be visible in the odd video. I did not include it in this one but may include in a Workshop Notes or something similar/ Cheers. Peter

[@handyjim]

nice one peter the best clamps deserve the best shelf for hanging

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Theoldguys 8 Yes, I love the Besseys - well done Norm Abram for showing me the way. Peter

Cheers Steve. Peter

[@roncooper6302]

Peter, always the perfectionist; your 'tool racks' are better than my furniture. Regards.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Ron Cooper Hi Ron, It is good to hear from you - how are things? The problem is that once you start to make videos people expect you to produce good stuff ! We started building our house in early1981and I finally painted the last piece of skirting board about 5 years ago. If I had been using a video blog to show the progress of the building then I would have had to have had it all perfect by the end of 1983 ! Take care my friend. Peter

[@Filmchippy]

Nice one Peter, I've been thinking of making one of those for awhile. I've only got 2 revos but I've just bought 12 of the smaller ones.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Biggsy1970 I bought most of my Besseys before the Revos came out - I just wish I had more Revos as they are just so good. Peter

I just got my first 4 Bessy Revos. Upgrades from pipe clamps and the black and decker quik clamps. I they are amazing clamps.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Mike, I first saw them when Norm Abram was using them on his woodworking broadcasts. I bought my first few direct from Germany and now, of course, they are easy to find here in the UK. Cheers. Peter

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Terry De'ath Hi Terry, Glad you like it. Peter

[@MrWoody135]

Lovely clamp rack, nice design and execution, both with screws and dominos. We all have problems with wall space so to save mine I have mounted my rack at the highest location I can, i.e. at full reach of the length of the clamp. Gives me an additional 180cm of wall for all the small tools. (Still wish I had the set of clamps you have, and if I did I'd probably want them in the shot too!)

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Ian, Many thanks. Peter

[@alimaleki217]

Peter, that's the best looking clamp rack I've ever seen!

Good as always Peter.

[@JamesG19771]

Slight confession here. I discovered this channel a few days ago and have been addicted to the back log thus far, and am almost caught up. I can only say 2 things. 1: I have learned SO much in a short space of time and 2: Why were you not teaching at my school in 1993?!

[@ricos1497]

Peter, have you watched Andrew Klein's video on Bessey modification to provide 4 way clamps on youtube? A quick search and you'll get it. An interesting modification for those times you're jointing and not using the domino. I've been considering adding the modification to a couple of mine but haven't as yet. Given your love of bessey, thought it might interest you.

Fine!

[@georgieporgie4601]

Hey Peter, what material is the wall behind that you use to mount your rack? Drywall, Gymsum, Concrete? I am wondering if my drywall could withstand the load of the heavy clamps.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Georgie, I would not risk the weight of clamps like this on drywall unless you can locate a cross-member behind the board. My wall is brick with plaster on top. If you have drywall you can build a frame that goes from floor to ceiling and wide enough for your clamp rack. This can be secured to the drywall at several places but the weight of the clamps will be taken by the frame resting on the floor. You still have to take account of the forces that might apply at right angles to the drywall surface but with enough fixing of the frame to the drywall the risk can be minimised. I used this technique in my new workshop for the wood racks - take a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYrZaIZnYtiHg9E

[@ВладимирЮхно-ь4г]

Класс! Спасибо очень здорово! Удачи !

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Thank you so much. Peter

[@louiesworkshop2023]

Hi Peter, lovely work, can I ask your opinion and advise, I purchased four Bessey K body 4foot clamps which arrived today, I read many reviews and was sure I had made the right decision, when laying the clamps out on my out feed table I placed up against the inside cheeks of the Bessey clamps a very accurate German made 90 degree square and to my surprise the Clamps where not parallel, actually out my several degrees, is this normal Peter in the respect that if tightened the clamp heads will become true 90's or is these clamps defective? Your views on this will be appreciated kind regards Louie Ulster Workshop Ireland.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

Hi Louie, I am not sure and am away from my workshop until the weekend. I think that you will find that they come up square when pressure is applied. Peter

[@jaimeclifton9078]

Hi Peter. Could you tell me: do you prefer the Festool router table or the UJK? I've seen you use both..... Many thanks. Jaime. P.S Love the videos - really great work.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Jaime Clifton Hi Jaime, The two router tables are designed for different user profiles. The Festool CMS-OF setup favours the mobile professional user as it can be packed up and put in and out of a van in next to no time. It provides accurate results and is easy to use. It is also particularly useful in the small workshop as it can be tucked in a corner or even folded up. The UJK table with its solid cast iron top is very much the centre piece solution for the workshop based user. It is very accurate, is easy to set up and adjust and produces excellent results. I put mine on castors as it was so difficult to move around. Both router tables produce the quality of results that I need in my standard of woodwork. It is the user and his working environment that should dictate which is the more suitable. Peter

[@jaimeclifton9078]

+New Brit Workshop (Peter) Thanks Peter, for the concise reply. I've recently bought the CMS but did wrestle for a long time over whether to buy a more static unit. I do have a small workshop so I believe I made the right choice, more so now with your advise too. Keep up the good work. Jaime. P.s. You should think about setting up a premium subscription service detailing longer projects. I would certainly purchase.

[@NewBritWorkshop]

+Jaime Clifton Hi Jaime, It is always difficult to give definitive advice as it does so much depend on the exact circumstances of the user and his or her workshop. From what you have said you have made an excellent choice. The subscription service would require me to make more videos than I am doing now. I spend 6 days a week making videos and 2 hours every day (7 days a week) answering questions and so on. Cheers. Peter
