    A Wood Whisperer shout-out

    A great way to store Bessey and Jet parallel clamps with the added bonus of a handy shelf!


    Good job LarryG. Hopefully he'll come back and see this at some point.
    I have a little blog about my shop

    I'm a fan of Mark's, but I think Larry's version is better. No need for the slots, and I like the idea of the little wall on the shelf to prevent things from falling off.

      Agreed, Mark does some wonderful work, but the change made to LarryG's design seems to weaken a critical factor of the rack - its holding capacity! Making the slots for the bar to rest in makes it quick to put and take clamps from the rack, but I would think it would allow a lot more deflection. Guess time will tell. Kudos again LarryG!

        My parallel clamp rack. Different a bit because I use it to store clamps in an open-stud wall. But I do get tighter storage (staggered) and protrudes less from the wall.

            If you go to the woodwhisperer article linked in the OP then the link is in there under BT3Central article he refers to.

              Nice design loring. I use a similar design but have fingers like marc(woodwhisperer) does. It works ok but the clamps still take up too much wall space for my liking. I saw a pic on fww site of a hinged type rack that might work. Also found a video on it. Not sure if it's by the same person.

              I'm going to need to find a few sets of strong but cheap hinges. I know those 2 things usually don't go hand in hand. Any suggestions? Piano hinge maybe?
