I found this site on the internet last night. Looks like a decent design for a clamp rack.

Interesting design, but I'm not sure it's very scalable. If you made it much bigger I'm not sure I'd want to trust the double set of hinges with much weight.Bob

That IS pretty cool. Bookmarked for future reference.
Bob: excellent point, but you could "scale" the rack up by making two (or three, or four, or ...) of them.LarryComment

Really Nice idea.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

That is absolutely awesome. I am definately going to build this next week.Comment

I think this will be my first pocket screw project.
Do you think pine would be strong enough not to sag?Thanks again,

I read it a little closer after your mention of using pocket hole joinery. He states he used bisuits in the construction. Anyone know exactly where? I see a couple of long wood screws in each butt joint.Originally posted by greencat
If you are just dying to do your first pocket screw project it would work, however I think just butt joining with 2 1/2" cabinet wood screws would be much, much quicker.
I am going to use poplar. I think pine would be fine, especially since each of the fingers have supporting blocks.Comment

Since this is a shop grade project I wonder if he used bisuits then screws instead of clamping.Originally posted by Jeffrey Schronce
I know the pocket screws are over kill but I just got it and thought I would give it a try. If I was doing it for speed, I would glue the butt joint then drive a few nails then put in some screws. Are cabinet screws better than dry wall? Is it becasue of the the non-threaded area?
The more I think about it I may skip the pocket screws since I don't have that 90 degree clamp. Has anyone taken a HF clamp and made a 90 degree clamp?Thanks again,

Ya, I understand. Got a new tool, got to use it! Pocket hole should work fine. Hint on Pocket Hole Joinery, for me personally the clamp is very, very important.Originally posted by greencat
Yes, I like cabinet screws much better than drywall screws. I especially like "star" heads instead of stupid Phillips head.Comment

Hi Grant;
Nice idea, thank you for posting it. I was thinking like Larry when the question came up about "scaling" it to a larger size. I think I will make two side by side swinging opposite each other like a two door medicine cabinet opens. Should be pretty neat. As for the fastening, I'll put a rabbet on the verts and place the horizontals on those I think, then a little glue and nails to hold it all together...Woo Hoo, the weekend is all taken care of! Now just find some wall space..hmmm....

The author knows a good tablesaw, too.
Actually, my memory thinks it remembers seeing his name in a signature here.
I like the idea. I'd probably focus on putting the heavy clamps in the back, and the lighter bar clamps in the front.BrianComment

You're correct - I think he posted a picture of a splitter he had made for his BT3100.Comment

Pretty cool design. I could use something like that, but I don't have any wall space left.Comment
