Not sure if this is the right place for this or not, so mods move it if it needs it.
Like a lot of you, I peruse the classifieds and garage sales because I am always on the look out for woodworking items and tools. Clamps are one of the things I never pass up if the price is right. This has resulted in a wide variety of clamps that required a lot of storage space on the wall. In addition, they covered the spectrum of lengths and the numbers continue to grow over time. Not to mention that where ever I seemed to place them on a wall, I always ended up walking across the shop to get a another clamp.
The foundation of the rack is two 2”x 4” “A” frames cut at a 15 degree angle attached to 1 2”x 6” base with casters on the bottom. The “A” frames are connected at the top by a piece of 3/4” plywood.
Holes are drilled 6” apart in each leg of the “A” frame to accommodate the 48” sections of black pipe recycled from my old pipe style clamps. I installed end caps on the pipes to keep them in place. This allows me to adjust the pipes to support different lengths of clamps as I add them to my collection.
The base provides a storage area for other styles of clamps and accessories that are trickier to store. A pair of sliding lids keep dust and wood chips from collecting.
