Clamp Rack

[John Bush]

Hi again Walt,
Very thoughtfully done. I am sure there are a lot of other Creekers besides me that would love the opportunity to "borrow" some of your design ideas. I'll send you a six-pack of Shiner Bock if you would post a full blown thread on more of the design and fab details. Thanks for sharing, John.

[Jon Lanier]

I'm Jealous. Wow, what nice piece of furniture.

[Walt Nicholson]

John, thanks to you and all the other creekers for the kind words. I will work on putting together some pics and dimensions on how it all came together and try to post it in the next few days. It would be cool to know there were a few "clones" or variations of it around the country. I'm a few years away from retirement yet and the shop is a weekend/evening hobby, but projects like this are helping me keep busy and help get the new shop organized. Thanks again for your comments.

Very cool! I would like one in my shop. I'm tierd of my clamps falling off the wall all the time.

[Jack Tanner]

I love the rack, but I love the shop just as much. You do very nice work, ( the router bit storage).

[Joe Mioux]

very nice, but you messed up...

Forget the shop vac, the first thing I thought was where did he put the cd player and the TV in that thing!

Hmmmm, hope copying is a form of flattery. As mine will look somewhat similar.

Incredible!! What a waste of effort and time to make a clamp /parts station..
Let's see, if I had this in my shop (Garage) I would have to get rid of one
of my cars or TS.. My jigs and storage are strictly functional and not pretty.

Welcome to the forum Tim. Usually, when posting to a thread that has died 6 months ago, you'd just directly PM the poster rather than resurrecting the thread. However, Ben appreciates your search effort, hehehe.

...strictly functional and not pretty.

Nothing says functional can't be pretty. I was just admiring the Studley tool chest this morning, in fact (http://www.taunton.com/regcontent/fi..._1280x1024.jpg). Real woodworker, real tools, and real art--no reason anyone shouldn't choose to surround themselves with a nice working environment (see the shots of David Marks' shop?). I certainly wouldn't call Walt's rack a waste of time, and it certainly seems pretty space efficient. Walt's rack may not work for your particular needs, but I'd certainly rather have his "pretty" rack sitting in my shop than the functional but ugly clamp rack I threw together six months ago...

I like it very nice!
