This is why I have so many clamps.

My Dad was laughing at my clamp rack, I had a hard time explaining that as wood workers go, I don't have THAT many clamps, really.

[dbhost]

I'm assuming you left most of them on the rack right?

[cabinetman]

What's too many?

My wife will comment if she sees me coming home with another pair, thinking that I have too many already. We all know there's no such thing as too many clamps. There's always a glue up that requires a few more than what is available.

With my little shop I've found that there is such a thing as too little room for any new clamps. Especially the new Revos as they don't fit very well in my high density rack. It was built to fit the older K-bodies which are a bit narrower. My cheapie bar clamps get displaced to some hooks on the rafters to make room for some new ones.

A good selection of clamps is what I have when I'm NOT doing a glue-up. I'm not sure what it's called when I have a great number of clamps but they're the wrong size.

Its called time to buy more clamps

[pelligrini]

Yea, it's called time to look for some deals on some more clamps.

[drumpriest]

That's roughly 1/2 of my clamps, I think.

I assume there's some work in there... somewhere...

[LCHIEN]

your problems is that your clamps don't all match. I see at least red (Bessey), blue (Irwin) and Yellow (??). You're going to have brand interoperability incompatibility problems.

Next thing you know you will be mixing the metric clamps in with the imperial ones, & ruin the whole glue up...

Even as 1/2, I still don't think you have enough! Even my wife says "you can never have too many clamps" You need to look for some sales on clamps!

[Pappy]

Rookie!

You may have used a FEW more clamps, but but it took you a LOT bigger project...

[chopnhack]

Honestly Pappy, is there some woodwork hiding in there?

Unless you glue in Canada. We can mix both metric and imperial with out having dire results. Just don't try and mix English and French clamps though....that's a heap of new trouble altogether.
