Nuthin' fancy...but a functional home for 42 GS/Bessey/CabinetMaster type clamps. I didn't 'populate' with clamps for the pics.

2x12 screwed to the wall...plywood (or whatever) 3/4" x 9" wide glued and screwed onto the top of the 2x12. I cut a 'fat' 3/8" slot to stop 1-1/2" from the back of the top board using the dado and mitre gauge. I cut these slots 2" on center, which is almost perfect spacing for the clamp heads. Could be wider I guess. The brackets are 8x10 cheapies...less than a buck apiece. They seem to hold pretty well, and they fit perfectly between the slots. I didn't have the 2x12 laying around, so this was a $33, two hour solution.
