I will have to give this one a try, as soon as I can clear some space so I can work in the workshop again. Which means cleaning up the clamps I have everywhere. 😜
As a beginner, this is the right design for me. I was curious what prevents the holders from moving sideways as we take clamps in and out? Just the friction of the cleats? Thanks for sharing
Hahaha, roger that! I've even had the wife come see what I was laughing so hard at. The bit about buying the wife tools had me falling off my chair! I've also had her watch Stumpy saying "You can never have too many clamps." Many, many times... Lol
We've had our part time business going for about 2 years now making blanks for the sign makers and laser cut home decor items.. We've decided to expand the woodworking shop, and since purchasing a bunch of clamps last week, this clamp rack is just what I've been looking for. THANKS, I've subscribed and I'll be looking at a few more of your videos as time permits. Now I'm heading out to the garage to start on the rack.
Bought the plans and made this clamp rack. Works great and was a big help getting my shop organized. Could have made it without the plans, but Stumpy's plans are so detailed and well organized that it's just silly not to grab them and help his channel for only $5! Note: The rack won't work with pipe clamps, though. But I need to build a separate rack for them anyway, because I already filled this one up with the rest of my clamps.
Hi James, I built the clamp rack and it is terrific. I am going to build another one because I stuffed the first one full right away. I wasn't sure if I needed more space, so I I just went to your site and bought the plans, which I almost never do. I wish I could post a picture in the comments. Anyway, thanks!!
It is like you read my mind. I was going make one yesterday, but decided I didn’t want to do any thinking so I was going to spend today looking up ideas. Thanks for doing the thinking for me.
Thank you. I downloaded the planes and am just waiting for the glue to dry so that I can hang and load my clamps. I made mine 4 feet and made up 6 sets of hangers. Love the design and functionality. My one questions about the drawing is. (and there is a strong possibility that I am incorrect) Shouldn't part "J" be the cap and part "I" be the hook? You said that you wanted our thoughts in the comments so here is mine. I felt that the planes were well written and easy to follow. Having the video to reference was a great help. I consider myself and intermediate skill level and this is the first time that I have ever followed plans. It made building this a snap. Everything I do has been build as I go with rough dimensions. This was quite enjoyable to make. Thank you for all of the videos and great information. You have one of the best channels IMO. Peace to you from North Georgia.
This is such a terrific design, Stumpy. Thanks for thinking of us small shop folks. My workspace is very small, and I've been wondering what I could do to store my clamps. This is definitely the solution I'll use!
My clamp rack uses that same method of organization, but without the flexibility. I think it may be time for a rebuild as the rack is no longer big enough. Thanks for this new concept. I think this concept is simple enough to not need plans but I am going to buy them just to see your new layout. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay healthy.
Fantastic video! I just bought 30 new F clamps and noticed my original clamp holder won't hold all the new ones. I will definitely build one of these. Thank you!
This is a timely video for me. I am rethinking my shop layout. A bit of a challenge because of the shape (8x26). My clamp rack has seen better days and needs consolidation. I just purchased your plans and will get back to you regarding the format. Thanks James!
I bought the plans and just finished mine today. This thing is pretty big, but I love the fact that I can hide the fact that I only have a dozen or so F-clamps and half a dozen pipe clamps. As I add more, the pipe clamps may find their own dedicated holder, but I really like this one! I agree with the choice to use the cleat system you did, they hold far better than a french cleat would have. That said, I think some minor changes to allow for a french cleat to hang the rach would be nicer. I didn't think it that and ended up adding a frame of 3/4" ply around the back to frame in a french cleat. A few minor size modifications would allow for a nice hidden french cleat to hang it without showing hardware, especially if you can not center the rack on wall studs.
Since the back of the rack is a solid panel, you don't have to center it on the studs. They can fall anywhere on the rack. The rack is wider that 16-inches, so no matter where on the wall it hangs, it should cross two studs.
This plan and jigs is very functional, and efficient with storage space. I'll try it , I hope I can get a round tuit. I have a portable clamp stand, it gets heavy and in the way. Big pipe clamps still reside along a section of wall. Now all I want is a shop with 9 walls to store things on and against ; )!!
Thanks for this video....that rack looks like something I really could use in my shop.....I'll be making one this week. LOVE the adjustability. I think I'll add to the shelf on top.....maybe make 2 or 3 shelves.
Since you brought up plan organization, yes. I do like your plans...but I have another suggestion/angle you might approach this from. Every plan designer breaks down the project into subsections and you work on that section to completion. Sure, sometimes, you have to take a measurement from assembly A-B-C before you cut parts D-F, but often, you can do the brunt of the work up front. Now I am blessed with a large shop with all my tools setup and ready to rock. But in the old days, everything was on wheels in the 2 car garage...and the Mrs. insisted both cars fit in the garage every night. So I would take the plans and workout everything I could do with the Tablesaw and cut it. Then install the dado blade and cut all the grooves and rabbits. Then move on to the router table, drill press etc. That way, I was only setting up one or two tools at a time and it made it much more efficient: think tool-centric instead of sub-assembly-centric. Still laughing at carpet in the shop...but you may yet win me over on that one! Thank you again for an excellent blog for the masses.
Your presentation was done very well. Liked your tips and verbalizing/hearing your thought process. No one bats 1.000 the first time around. Enjoyed your cutting jig and assembly fixture. Skills evolve over time. Materials, hardware, and resources all influence our progress in developing a skill set that will keep us safe and allow us to tackle more difficult projects. Keep up the good work. When teaching woodworking at the high school level students just wanted to finish the project. Visualizing, designing, and building/constructing a project is a multifaceted, problem solving journey.
Great points on assembly. I like your commentary on plans in an article. I am a townhouse basement carpenter And my total shop space is less than 180 square '.I've always liked your space saving tips and tutorials.Keep it up and good luck with the new shop.How's the hand?
As always, a great idea. I noticed you having to push hard to overcome the gap in your router fence. I'm having the same sort of trouble in my shop made one. I measured everything and it seems like it's lined up but there's always that bump passing from one half of the things to the other. Do you recommend just rounding the corner on the far side? I don't want to throw off anything I'm working on but going around that edge is doing it on its own.
I prefer the numbered system too, James. A long time ago there used to be a woodworking magazine that was formatted that way, I don’t remember the name tho, I’ll claim senior moment.
love these videos great job. I do notice though you have carpet on the floor instead of smooth concrete which would be easier to sweep. do you find it easier overall to have carpet on the floor?
Good comment on jigs and safety. Great design for the rack. Nice job. I support the plan format, but also make projects customizable. For example, make notes on the changes required to make a wider clamp rack.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences that went into this design. While I might do some things differently if I were to build this, I won't tell you that YOU should have built it differently.
Hey Stumpy I purchased the Clamps Plans, love the format, but my eyes can process a video so much faster than written material, I don't know, maybe it's just me, I'm use to watching videos now. It would be great if you could also do a detailed video for each project.
I like the plan layout a lot. I think that the paper magazines don't do articles this way is that it takes more pages (each page costs money). In the e-magazine that is not so much a factor. Thanks for being an inovator.
Great content and great clamp rack concept, I am a new wood worker and just starting to get overwhelmed with various clamps. I think I will make this yet tomorrow.
James, I would love to see a video from you on machine speeds. I have a router and a drill press with variable speeds...and I don't know why. I think a great teaching video would be about what effect rotation speed has on materials. Love everything you do!
I need a better clamp rack so I am going to make this. I have a half+ sheet of 3/4 in the shop now so looks like I won't even need to make a trip to big box. Like the jig for cutting the angles too.
@@StumpyNubs I see, that does make some sense. It just seems like a french cleat would be much easier to construct and I would think would be more durable as well? I wonder if you could make it with a french cleat system and then just drive a single screw into each piece to hold it in place - it would still be adjustable when you get new clamps - but would also be semi-permanent . In any case, I love the idea. I'm sure I will be copying it in some form or another in the future!
I wish I had some wall space to put that rack. I have most of my clamps that I use a lot clamped to the braces on my garage door. I have several power tools on casters setting in front of my clamps. I have to pull a tool out to get the clamp I need. Yes, it's a pain but you got to do what you got to do. LOL Nice video. I watch just about all of them.
Okay, I'm really new to this woodworking stuff. I purchased and downloaded the plans. What size brad nails did you use on this project? Maybe for the green newbies like me, you could provide a "Tools Needed For The Project" list at the top of the plans, as well as, other materials needed besides the wood. Thanks in advance.
I usually use 1-1/4 because they won't go all the way through two layers of 3/4-inch thick material. But I also keep some shorter ones (1-inch) and some longer ones (2-inch) on hand and use them when needed.
For your hooks on the back of the moveable brackets I would have put a piece of tap or two on the spacer so they would have just enough clearance to fit and move.
Go Stumpy The Question.to French Cleat or not? For it is all our choice after all so just make it work, And I do love the flexibility of Stumpy's basic design just like lego just add more parts as you need it's simply genius and the shelf too another flat space to lose things on! - I'm in clover
Just bought it. I probably won't mess with the jig for the angled cuts, I'll just use a jig saw. They don't need to be perfectly straight in this application.
James, not sure you're still monitoring these comments but I have a question. First, yes, I downloaded the plans and I like the format. Measurements seem accurate, although I think you missed labeling an item "C" on the 3rd page bottom drawing, you have two "D's" but not a problem.... my question is with all the weight that the clamps have, is just glue and brad nails enough to support that long term? Wouldn't you need some screws in there for extra strength or is that over-building in your opinion? Thanks as always
Wow, I really like the adjustability of this design. You nailed it~! I'm wondering if the braces would work just as well with a French cleat instead? I've not yet built a hanger that holds any significant weight away from the wall, like parallel clamps stacked horizontally, but I might have to do a test. Keep it coming~!
French cleats are not as stable. If you grab a couple clamps at once you may lift an arm right off the cleat and cause a collapse. This hook style stays put.
@@StumpyNubs I have some pretty heavy 4 foot cabinet clamps. Wondering how many of these I can have on a single brace? It concerns me about the weight and the fact that all that pressure or at least most of it would be on that bracket on the back.
Just a quick question, How will this work on a French Cleat system. I have already purchased the plans and am starting to put my shop together in my new house. It is basically a single car garage so space is very tight and I do not like peg board and just feel that French Cleats are much stronger and better looking. Thanks for your response. Bob Ivey
I’m pretty new to woodworking and have probably spent as much time watching your videos as working in the shop. So excuse me if I’m asking a dumb question, instead of using the square hanging point, why not use French cleats inside the rack? I’ve started using French cleats in my small shop and love the flexibility. Just trying to learn not question your expertise. Thanks. Phil
French cleats are not as stable. If you grab a couple clamps at once you may lift an arm right off the cleat and cause a collapse. This hook style stays put.
You mentioned the product Sketchup, which I see people using all the time. I gave it a try. Unfortunately, all the tutorials and training videos address using the product on a Windows machine. I use a Mac. I found the tutorials very frustrating because so many procedures simply didn't work as shown on my Mac. Could someone please create a Mac-based Sketchup tutorial?
That vise at 3:16 looks very interesting! Do you have a video about it? I see your new shop is taking a great shape! 👍🏻 Thank you for the clamp rack design. I'm definitively going to make it, but I'll use scraps of wood from the mill. They give them away for free, there usually are good chunks of like 1" x 4" x 2' piled for the taking :) Cheers from Peru! 🇵🇪
I believe that's Andrew Klein's twin turbo vise. If you search for that phrase on RUclips, you should get all sorts of results. I *think* I recall James talking about it in a shop vlog video.
Yes, it can be made as long as you like. As for deeper, I would think the arms could support more weight, but I haven't tested to see how much. I also think a wall hanging rack that is too deep gets in the way of valuable floor space.

The bit about buying the wife tools had me falling off my chair! I've also had her watch Stumpy saying "You can never have too many clamps." Many, many times... Lol
Yes and he does it without over explaining. Just right 👍
Ok, James. I'll be moving in to my new shop soon. And I expect you to come over and set it up for me. I'll let you know when and where. Lol
Your Tung oil video saved me from making a terrible mistake. Thanks.
I just finished and loaded mine up.
Great project.

will a french cleat work? or do you need that braket?
Fantastic video! I just bought 30 new F clamps and noticed my original clamp holder won't hold all the new ones. I will definitely build one of these. Thank you!
Perfect timing, a clamp rack is next on my list of shop projects. Have been thinking of the best way make an adjustable rack to plan for the future.
Dang it! I just made a clamp rack, finally, and then I saw THIS! Looks like I'm starting over- this is WAY better! Thank you!
This is a timely video for me. I am rethinking my shop layout. A bit of a challenge because of the shape (8x26). My clamp rack has seen better days and needs consolidation. I just purchased your plans and will get back to you regarding the format. Thanks James!
bought the plans and made this just a little bigger. Its awesome and exactly what i need!
Just added 2 more clamps to my collection yesterday. I'm going with your advice from your clamp video of having 4 of each type.
I really like the strong flexible design. Thank you. 👍😎😎

Yes, it's pretty common. Just chamfer the edge of the left fence piece.
Great idea. Looking forward to the journal.
Nice design, simple, but it works
Amazing work
love the project 'plan' format simple is better-change is good, keeps us out of complacency
I prefer the numbered system too, James. A long time ago there used to be a woodworking magazine that was formatted that way, I don’t remember the name tho, I’ll claim senior moment.
love these videos great job. I do notice though you have carpet on the floor instead of smooth concrete which would be easier to sweep. do you find it easier overall to have carpet on the floor?
I love my carpet: ruclips.net/video/L6wWGBc8_Zs/видео.html
Thanks for the design and love the plan layout.
I like the format for your plans!
Thanks James, we appreciate the information you share with us. Fred.
Numbered steps with numbered photos!!!!!!! Yeah.
Good comment on jigs and safety. Great design for the rack. Nice job. I support the plan format, but also make projects customizable. For example, make notes on the changes required to make a wider clamp rack.
We do explain how to make it wider in the plans. It's in the introduction to the carcass construction section.
@@StumpyNubs Awesome!
Thanks for the great video James! Awesome idea! 👍
You have to love a great rack.
Very informative 👏👏👏
Great design Mr. Stump...rock on.
I've needed a new clamp rack for quite some time. This is perfect for my wall space restricted shop. Can't beat that price! Thanks James!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences that went into this design. While I might do some things differently if I were to build this, I won't tell you that YOU should have built it differently.
Just what I need, right now! Thanks
great video as always, nice project we all can use
Good stuff stumpy
You're Rockstar brother. Thank you for your efforts, be blessed.
Thank you for sharing great tips!
Some good tips, thanks ☺
Thank you - I enjoy your instruction👍

Would there be a problem using one by pine instead of plywood
Great content and great clamp rack concept, I am a new wood worker and just starting to get overwhelmed with various clamps. I think I will make this yet tomorrow.
Hey Stumpy, I really enjoy the cleverness that you share. They have really cut my time on projects while enhancing the accuracy. Have a Great Day!
Cool idea. Thank you
James, I would love to see a video from you on machine speeds. I have a router and a drill press with variable speeds...and I don't know why. I think a great teaching video would be about what effect rotation speed has on materials.
Love everything you do!
Large bits must be run at slower speeds to avoid overheating.
Thank you, James!! This is right on time for me. Was just grumbling at myself last weekend for not having a clamp rack!
I need a better clamp rack so I am going to make this. I have a half+ sheet of 3/4 in the shop now so looks like I won't even need to make a trip to big box. Like the jig for cutting the angles too.
What kind of rolling base do you have your table saw on? I have an old craftsman 113 that base looks perfect for. Thanks.
Love it,,,,the rack
I like this. I will modify it for my needs but the core idea will be put to good use in my shop. Stumpy :)
May I ask why you made hooks such as you did instead of just a french cleat?
Less likely the bracket will lift and fall when you pull clamps off.
@@StumpyNubs I see, that does make some sense. It just seems like a french cleat would be much easier to construct and I would think would be more durable as well?

Heh, glad I looked before I asked the same question 🙂
Alternatively you could put a stop at the bottom so it can't come off. Presumably you dont ever want then to come off so they'd slide but not come off
Subsonic1050 plenty of examples of french cleats with locking devices on YT. Wedges, blocks, screws and cams.
I wish I had some wall space to put that rack. I have most of my clamps that I use a lot clamped to the braces on my garage door. I have several power tools on casters setting in front of my clamps. I have to pull a tool out to get the clamp I need. Yes, it's a pain but you

Perfect timing! I was just thinking about how to build a clamp rack to fit my adolescent collection and this seem perfect!
For your hooks on the back of the moveable brackets I would have put a piece of tap or two on the spacer so they would have just enough clearance to fit and move.
I would like to purchase plans but will not use PayPal. Is there another way to pay?
James, can you add the dimensions of the project in the plan description? Ie: 12x48” rack holding 20-40 clamps. So you know before you buy, please.
James, excellent video and an awesome clamp storage project. Well done, sir.
Made it. Love it.
Go Stumpy The Question.to French Cleat or not? For it is all our choice after all so just make it work, And I do love the flexibility of Stumpy's basic design just like lego just add more parts as you need it's simply genius and the shelf too another flat space to lose things on! - I'm in clover

@@StumpyNubs I have some pretty heavy 4 foot cabinet clamps. Wondering how many of these I can have on a single brace? It concerns me about the weight and the fact that all that pressure or at least most of it would be on that bracket on the back.
Do you think a French cleat design wouldn’t be strong enough for this particular project?
They would lift and fall off when you remove clamps.
Just a quick question, How will this work on a French Cleat system. I have already purchased the plans and am starting to put my shop together in my new house. It is basically a single car garage so space is very tight and I do not like peg board and just feel that French Cleats are much stronger and better looking. Thanks for your response. Bob Ivey
French cleats don't lock on. When you lift one clamp off, the whole bracket and other clamps is likely to fall on the floor.
@@StumpyNubs That is generally true but you can also lock them in place and that is what I plan on.
I'm needing something like this. Thanks for the video. I am curious though, why did you go with a hook over French cleats?
Not as stable
I’m pretty new to woodworking and have probably spent as much time watching your videos as working in the shop. So excuse me if I’m asking a dumb question, instead of using the square hanging point, why not use French cleats inside the rack? I’ve started using French cleats in my small shop and love the flexibility. Just trying to learn not question your expertise. Thanks. Phil
Lol. No need to answer, I should have read the other posts before asking.

You mentioned the product Sketchup, which I see people using all the time. I gave it a try. Unfortunately, all the tutorials and training videos address using the product on a Windows machine. I use a Mac. I found the tutorials very frustrating because so many procedures simply didn't work as shown on my Mac. Could someone please create a Mac-based Sketchup tutorial?
That vise at 3:16 looks very interesting! Do you have a video about it?
I see your new shop is taking a great shape! 👍🏻 Thank you for the clamp rack design. I'm definitively going to make it, but I'll use scraps of wood from the mill. They give them away for free, there usually are good chunks of like 1" x 4" x 2' piled for the taking :)

I believe that's Andrew Klein's twin turbo vise. If you search for that phrase on RUclips, you should get all sorts of results. I *think* I recall James talking about it in a shop vlog video.
Can you please provide the direct link of the plan? All I saw was the "3 layer clamp rack". Thx.
Could this rack me made a lot bigger? I know I could make it longer, but could it also be made deeper?
Yes, it can be made as long as you like. As for deeper, I would think the arms could support more weight, but I haven't tested to see how much. I also think a wall hanging rack that is too deep gets in the way of valuable floor space.
That’s cool
