So I posted this on my Facebook page to some of the woodworking groups I belong to there and have gotten rave reviews. I'm not sure anyone has done this, or I have never seen it done, but the idea just popped into my head at work on Wednesday. I never liked the "unfinished" appearance of clamp racks where brackets are made of plywood triangles then screwed to a backer board then to the wall. I wanted a simpler cleaner look and easier to build. So I got the idea to simply use shelf brackets, the kind you buy from Lowes for $6.97. Space them close enough together to hang almost any kind of bar clamp, or parallel clamp. These shelf brackets will support 1000 pounds each. I simply screwed them to a 2x10 that I sanded and finished with water based poly, then screwed the 2x10 to my studs with 4" deck screws. It worked really well and I thought I would share it. Thanks, Eric Sorry for the rotation on the photograph...
