Here are pictures of this weekends project. I designed this clamp rack based on the one in a recent issue of Popular woodworking.
I didn't realize how much room my clamps would take until I started designing the hangers. I was able to double the capacity of the side of the rack for parallel jaw clamps by hanging half from the top and setting the other half on ther bottom and have the clamp rails bypass each other.
The base is from an old computer server rack that I removed all the hardware from except the bottom frame and casters. It rolls around real easy and is fairly stable unless there are clamps on just one side. (DAMHIKT) I need to find the threaded levelers that were in each corner of the base and reinstall them so that they just clear the floor.
I am real satisfied with how this turned out. It sure is nice having all my clamps in on place and being able to move them to where I need them.
Since there are some open spaces on the rack I quess I will have to get more clamps! ;)
