WayneMahler Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Trying to get my shop more organized. Normally my clamps are scattered all over the place. So I am in the process of making a mobile clamp rack. Got to wondering how everyone else store their clamps. I found a article in an older Woodsmith magazine that I like and designed mine from it. So how do you store / organize your clamps ? Quote
Jim McDonald Posted January 11, 2021 Report Posted January 11, 2021 Since I move mine to various locations, I have a piece of 2x4 with a screen door handle where I clamp the larger screw clamps. My smaller ones are in a tool bag with my glue gun so I have everything at hand when making stacks. Quote
amazingkevin Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 A roll around 4 sided clamp station would be nice!!! Quote
jollyred Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 No where in my shop is more than 5 steps away, so I just put a dowel rod in the overhead joists and slide the clamps on them. I am in a basement and the joists are exposed. I only have room for one roll around, so I use it for anything too heavy to move easily. Clamps are easy. Tom Quote

Mine is very similar to yours, a bit longer, but at one end I ran a 1x1 "cube" down the middle of the clamp board for a foot or two, and use that block for spring clamps. Quote
MrsN Posted January 12, 2021 Report Posted January 12, 2021 Most of my clamps are the spring clamp variety, they are sorted by size and stored in plastic storage drawers. At school my pipe clamps hang on the sides of a really sturdy wood shelving unit, and quick clamps hang on the ledge on the back side of my table saw. Quote
bandaideman Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 I found a article in Wood Magazine I think. it has round ply circles time and bottom with 2x4 frame between the wood circles with dowels in holes into the 2x4s to hang the clamps. Wheels are on bottom and easily moves from back to front of shop. Quote

RabidAlien Posted January 16, 2021 Report Posted January 16, 2021 Got a couple of Amazon giftcards for Christmas. I have a bookcase shelf (and a half) full of my to-be-read books, so I'm good on reading materials. What to get...what to get....what to get x24.... ...now, to find a place to STORE what I got!

BadBob Posted January 16, 2021 Report Posted January 16, 2021 I use these unless the clamps are too small to hang on them closed. These are also great for hanging many other things, from garden tools to tools to rolls of tape.
