How to Make Clamp Racks

EPISODE 237: When watching woodworking videos, I’m always nosing around the background to see how they set up their shop. And based on questions I often receive about my clamp racks, apparently I’m not the only one! So in this episode, we take a closer look at the clamp racks you may have been curious about. I show you how I made them and why. (Closed captions)

Nice and simple. Now to find some garage space on the walls. Might have to go mobile. Thanks again

[@binaermensch]

Thank you.

[@ericerf6837]

Love it. Simple but so effective. Thanks to you both.

[@Fusterclucked00]

My skull is a bit thick. What is the benefit of using the French cleet over a rack like the others? I didn't quite follow your explanation in the video.

[@karlzahler1030]

It is so you don't have to figure the spacing with the anchor screws into the 2x4 studs and gaps in the hanging racks.

[@brgovender8879]

It's a great video. Some good points made. Thanks for sharing

[@timlist4173]

I like this idea.

[@RonaldHeimerl]

Tom, thank you for all you do. In my shop I used an old metal towel bar about 36" long, fastened it to the wall and hang my spring clamps and C-clamps on it. It has room for more clamps than I own, so I'd better stock up.
