    Built this the first time you posted about it. It's been rock solid for me. One thing I found helped was to put some sandpaper strips on the tops of the triangles where the clamp rests. I had some issues where I would put a clamp up and if it was swinging, it had a tendency to walk itself off the shelf. A little grippy paper took care of that issue.
    Thanks for the design. It's been a huge improvement in my shop.

    I built something almost exactly like this about 3-4 yrs ago. It's awesome - except I built mine with a french cleat. And just like you said, i have knocked the bracket off a couple times. I finally just put a screw through it to hold it in place, then a remove the screw if I need to reorganize.

    I highly recommend this project. I bought these plans a couple of years ago when Stumpy first posted it and built it right away. It's been holding dozens of clamps of just about every type there is ever since. I have so many clamps on it now I need to make another one to go beside it. I can't think of a less expensive project that will make this much of a difference in a shop.

    I just built this a few weeks ago - it's pretty good when finished, though the clearance to the top shelf is tight with some of my clamps. I also didn't care for the way all the weight is concentrated where 3 pieces of plywood have to meet up perfectly and are held with glue and brad nails (see 2:30) I ended up adding a couple screws and spent some time fine tuning the dimensions of those parts to get a good fit.

    After many variations to a clamp storage system I finally settled on an A frame shaped clamp rack on caster wheels. It is tall enough to store 6 ft long clamps plus the assortment of shorter clamps. The base is 2ft 6 inches wide and 4ft in length. The space in between the two faces accommodate slide out shelves that hold bins for the smallest of my clamps. This clamp storage system has served me well for over 15 years and no modifications has been needed. I have clamps for strip boat building, furniture and cabinet projects and even for kumiko projects. Thanks for sharing.

    @RoyatAvalonFarms 14 дней назад +1

    Great principle. I love to build things that are adaptable as i grow so its not wasted.
    Also, for those angle brackets which had a triangle cut off, if you had made the blank a little bigger, maybe 2 inches or so, then you could have cut the diagonal where the "cutoff" was actually another bracket instead of a wasted short triangle. So getting 2 brackets from each of those rectangle blanks. It might not be a huge savings, but could have saved a little bit of the waste.

    Hi Stumpy, you are a very skilled, authoritative woodworker with many years behind you. I would like to ask a question. If you use a plane to shape wood the waste material is called wood shavings, when you use any other tool waste material is called saw dust, why? It is wood dust.

    • @zapa1pnt
      @zapa1pnt 14 дней назад +1

      Well, it's obvious why shavings are called shavings but I
      doubt you will get much of a definitive answer on "sawdust".
      However, of course, anything above a "certain" size, would just
      be called waste. The "certain" size being an unknown variable.
      "Saw dust", no doubt, arose the first time someone made a cut,
      with a saw. I suspect "chips" would fit in there, somewhere, but
      then again, who really cares? When you are making something,
      all this is just the crap you have to sweep up, when you're done.

      I have one too and have had it for 25 years. I had to soon upgrade the hard rubber wheels to larger polyurethane wheels to get it to roll with all of the heavy weight as I added more clamps. With all of the considered expenses I think this wooden rack would be superior and less expensive even if I had to build two. I might wind up building this rack and free up the floor space in my 3 car garage workshop.

    Great project James. Thanks for sharing (& for the free plans). I appreciate your reminder about making jigs. I need to remember that more often If you’re going to do the same thing 3 times or more, make a jig…is the advice I recall but don’t apply as often as I should. I sort of applied this rule when I made my clamp racks, but forgot about the wisdom of assembly jigs. An assembly jig would have been a time saver. Well, more wise advice to try to remember.
    Thanks especially for not falling prey to the click-bait-style/ sensationalized titles.

      @@StumpyNubs Technically, they didn't say you did. They said, "nice build" and then was snickering at the fact that such expensive plywood was being used for such a build. This person is probably like me, and if making these racks, it would be made out of the cheapest roughest scrap I could find. Nice build though. Not sure why you didn't just rabbet it into a lap joint, but whatever. I'm sure it works fine.

      I had to pay $110 a sheet for CDX when I had to reroof my house in 2021. $140 for good prefinished stuff is sounding pretty cheap.

    Building something in order to build something else is called 'Yak Shaving' in the computer world.
