Clamp Storage

As a woodworker’s collection of clamps grows, storage for all of them can become problematic. But I found a solution that’s perfect because it‘s both inexpensive and quick. I grabbed a scrap piece of 2" PVC pipe that I had left over from a previous project and drilled a series of holes sized to fit the bars on my clamps. On the front side, I drilled several holes to fasten the clamp rack to the wall with long, panhead screws. I capped both ends with wood plugs so the screw pressure doesn’t distort the PVC. I’ve found these clamp racks are useful all around the shop and can even be hung in areas that go typically unused, such as hanging from the ceiling in my basement shop.
