    Way cool Pappy. That's a lot of clamps in a small space and all are accessable. Well done.

        clamp rack...

        Nice clamp rack there Pappy....should work really well until the next vist to HF
        and clamps are on sale again ! Then time to build another one for the new
        clamp additions ...huh? By the way, how do you like their alunimum bar clamps ? I bought two of theirs the other day, like your blue ones, but are red
        in color and they are adjustable out to 37" I think, haven't used them as yet
        but seem to be well made and should work ok for what I need. eezlock

          As to the aluminum bar clamps, I use them as much if not more than any others I have. As far as needing more storage for clamps...way too late. I have some of the 60" aluminums adn several Jorgy 'F' bodies that need a place to hang.

            Pappy - I haven't seen that article... so pardon my ignorance. Are the clamp holders "temporarily" attached to the peg board? In other words, can you reposition them easily? If so, how do the hangers work?

                  They are attached with the plastic wall anchors. The screws are visible on the box for the Vario corner blocks. They can be pulled, but you don't want to be movng them around a lot.

                    Nice RACK!!

                    Is there something behind the pegboard to help with the weight. I'm surprised that pegboard would hold that much weight. At least I would not have thought about using it for holding clamps.

                    Now after several years of use, anything you would have done differently?? Why?? Other than more room for clamps.

                      Now I know why my local HF is always sold out of clamps!

                          Looks great! you sure did use the space pretty wisely and everything looks neat and clean!

                          Thanks for the picture aswell. I am adding this one my arsenal to show my wife that a lot of clamps are needed when wood working and that i am not going crazy wanting to buy more clamps now i have proof for her! LOL

                          RodKirby: i just happen to see a picture of you talble next to you name, do you think you can post one that shows it bigger and with different views aswell?

                          thanks
