Whipped these up after two shop moves and never being able to take my clamp rack with me as it never fits the new space. Holds 4 Bessey or Jet K clamps, or a bunch of smaller F body and we even keep our Harbor Freight panel clamps on there too (holds 5 which does drive me nuts it's not 6!) I've got an adapter to hold 10 F clamps that I'll have out soon. I'll also throw up the DXF and blueprints if you have your own CNC router or even a jigsaw. Just part of our on-going shop cleanup and organization project. Whenever we make a tool for ourselves we think folks might enjoy it too and try to make it available. Hope you get a kick out of them, or the design in general. Lots of these floating around.

Who doesn't like a big rack? Looks like a slick design. They could be 3D printed as well. I need to do something like that for my collection. Right now, I clamp them to a block between the studs, but once I insulate and close the walls, that option goes away.

That's really a nice simple design, I like it. I have a clamp rack on my list of projects and was going to do something a lot more complex but after seeing yours I think I'll go that route. Thanks for sharing.

THANK YOU! I was hoping the name wouldn't only make me chuckle.

3D printed would be neat. Could easily add a few other features.

My first was super complex and a "cheap" project took me a day to build. Second one was better. Then I realized you don't need all the extra **** and here we are. Thanks for looking. I updated the blueprint last night to have info about spacing them as well :)

I'd have to customize mine, as my clamps are so different. I have a pair of deep Bessey F-clamps, a bunch of normal F-clamps, and a bunch of pipe clamps.

I got you, give me a week. Going to make an F clamp adapter and one for pipe clamps. This will hold pipe clamps if they have the wide pads. We use them for our short ones. F clamps work great though, but rev 2 will hold a lot.
