    Clamp Rack

    Had to remove the big clamp rack I had on my wall, and decided that a movable cart would be handier for my shop.

    I took a Harbor Freight Furniture Cart 18x30, screwed a couple 6' 2x4s at a 15° angle top and bottom to it, and 2 other 2x2s on the back side at 15° also.

    Then cut some 3/4" Plywood scraps 2" x 18" and screwed them to the 2x4s and 2x2s at 12" intervals.

    Holds most of my clamps and should help keeping them gathered up.

    That is neat! I like the idea of using a Harbor Freight Furniture Cart as base. Smart!

        Good thinking to find a use for the HF furniture dolly. Probably cheaper than buying the casters and wood to build the bse.

          Necessity is the mother of invention - Nice Job. Is it stable when loaded?

            It has been, probably a little taller than I needed. Loading the bottom with clamps would help. Also thinking of adding plywood across the bottom to hold maybe some glue or odd clamps.
