I finally got my new shop to the point to where I can start "making sawdust" and got inspired by some of the other posts to get all my clamps organized. I started with the typical "A-frame" at 15 degrees and then started thinking about all the wasted space in between. I thought it would be cool to have most of the things I use when clamping like screws, plugs, glue, brad nails, etc. handy as well because I can never remember where I put things anymore. I had lots of scraps around, so it grew from there. The rack is about 6' tall, 29" deep and 49" wide. The drawers are the same depth as the rack with some 1/4" clear plexi in either end so I can see what is in there. They slide out from either side or come out completely if need be. I put in some adjustable spacers to separate the drawer contents. The top drawer is open on the top and holds all my glue stuff. The big drawer on the bottom holds the Kreg stuff, plate jointer, etc. The rack has 116 clamps on it now including the Veritas panel clamps on the bottom side with room for a few more (honey, I need to go shopping). It is heavy, the scraps I had were 3/4 plywood so that added unnecessary weight but some 4" casters make it easy to roll around in the shop. I will probably take everything off and put a coat of shellac on the whole thing when I get time. Now if I can find all my sanding stuff maybe I will make some storage for it. I hope the pictures show up this is my first post.Thanks for looking.
