Just a tip when cutting multiple evenly spaced notches you can use a sled with an index block to move to the next notch cut without constantly adjusting the table saw fence.
Great job! I was not going to make my clamp racks(48 years worth) a project, but this rack changed my mind. For me, using as many shop tools as I can is a big part of a new build. You say your a Naturalist, I just say I'm a Tree Hugger!....LOL
Looks great. Videography 10/10. Those rotate slides. Maybe linger on finished project a few more seconds. Show yourself lifting or putting away a clamp is enough.
good stuff. I've got some left over baltic birch that I was looking to do something with and I need a clamp rack. I like how this keeps the clamps closer to the wall and doesn't stick out to far. I might put something like this together this weekend.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks oh I meant to ask. how do you like the rip-flip fence on your table saw? It seems like it could be super useful when doing something like making cabinets. just set all measurements for your project and if you forget to cut something you still have the exact measurement that was used for the other pieces. I've wasted so much time trying to setup the exact measurement for a piece I forgot to cut when I did all the others with a specific measurement.
Really dig the design with your clamp storage. Trying to get ideas before making mine and been watching videos all weekend while getting ready to commit to project. Glad the algorithm auto played your vid -cuz it’s pretty much what i was envisioning. Nicely done!
Nice clamp rack! I’ve been loving danish oil in natural for children’s furniture, etc. because it’s easy to use, just be sure to pop the grain before applying but it’s a protective finish and lightens after curing too so I’d personally use danish oil on shop projects too
This is a really nice clamp rack. But due to my very limited wall space I have become a fan of having the clamps come from the wall out instead of running along the wall, this way I can get 4 parallel clamps in the same space as I get 2 if I run them along the wall and I am able to 6 or 8 F clamps in the same space as 2 or 3. If I had a ton of wall space, I think I would still do them from the wall out, so I had more wall space left for other things. But yours is still a great looking rack and if it works for you then it's all good. 😃
Thank you! Yeah I have a lot more wall space then I do floor space in the shop, and I can fit a lot more width wise with this solution than I can depth wise.
As David Picciuto always says; "you can never have enough woodworkers telling you you can never have enough clamps" Great video, Shane! Those curves make the rack look so much nicer than a boring square clamp rack.
Great project ! When making your small support blocks you pulled the sled back with the cut piece trapped between the blade and stop. Eventually that will cause at least a bind that can damage sled, blade and workpiece and at worst an injury. Always control the trapped piece.
Your baltic birch looks like it has a melamine coating on it. Is that right? I had to go to a specialty hardwood source (about 40 miles from the smaller town I live in) to even purchase a 4 by 8 sheet of baltic birch ply. The big stores don't ever have it. Too expensive, I guess.
No it’s just regular ole Baltic Birch. I get mine from a local company that supplies a lot of the cabinet shops in the area. Pricing has skyrocketed since 2020.
Sawdust is man-glitter, so wear it proudly. Serious question here: I've wall-hung my pipe clamps, and they're really damn heavy... in your experience, how is the weight differential between your bar clamps as compared to the Pony-style pipe ones? Not that I need more clamps... asking for a friend... you know.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks He is, in my humble opinion, among the cream of the crop in terms of quality and craftsmanship. Unfortunately, he doesn't make any new content anymore. The fact that you came with a design with such a good quality that I could compare it to him is a huge compliment to your own skill! :) Well done!
You don’t show it, but I can tell every time you have some piece of work being held on your Roubo, that you are giddy about having work held on your Roubo.
Great job with the rack. Personally, I prefer the kind that stack the clamps one in front of another; see JKM's and Two Bit Woodworks for what I'm referring to. They're far more space efficient. For shop projects I like shellac. Easy to apply, dries fast and gives good enough protection.
Thanks! I think really depends on what you consider important in the shop. I would much rather have the floor space over wall space any day of the week.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks I agree to an extent; if you build your racks so they hold 4 parallel clamps deep, that's where the space savings start to add up. Going by my bessey revos, they're 3 clamps "wide", so with the clamp racks holding at least 4, you get a horizontal space savings as well as the floor space savings. AT about 6 clamps deep they can start to jut out a bit much. I'm not knocking your design; I'm just working in 2/3 of a one car garage so every microinch of space has to be accounted for lol
No, I can see why you might think that. If you stack them outward, you are looking at 8 to 9 inches off the wall, which means items below have to push out by 8 or 9 inches, thus taking up more floor space. Becuase you can't put things as close to the wall, again I think it comes down to how you prioritize space.
@@NWGR I have mine stacked outward and just high enough that I can store my router table and table saw against the wall under the clamps when the router or table saw are not being used, that way I have floorspace to use for other things like assembly or finishing.
That's definitely an opinion and I would challenge you do it. Be sure to tag me in your final design so we can compare notes. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
What's your favorite finish for the shop?

Yeah, a sled with a pin would be a good solution too.
Just Purchased the clamp rack plan. I suggest including a photo of the finished product. I look forward to building this.
Glad you found them! Thanks for the support and I will consider that for the future. Good luck with your build.
Great idea storing your smaller clamps between the parallel clamps like that!
Glad you liked it! Real estate is precious in the shop.

The Lord of the Racks! Love it Shane, I need one!
Haha nice!
Now, this project I was able to follow easy, peasy, lemon, squeezy!!! Very nice storage rack Shane. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
Haha! Thanks man!

@@atomictyler I love it. I have found a lot of instances where it has saved me a ton of time for exactly what you are talking about.
It’s motivating to see the beautiful new Roubo already being put to good use!
Heck yeah!
Great idea using the Flip-Stops for equal spacing. Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah it was a huge time saver too
I like the idea of adding shorter clamps in between on the lower lever much better than the clamp racks that stick out from the wall.
Heck yeah, it's super efficient.
That is a thing of beauty! Wish I had a table saw!
Thank you! It's not must but it's a plus.
SOOOwwwweeeeet! I love how your shop is coming along
Thanks man!

Nice Design! Perfect clamp rack for my needs. Do you have plans available?
Yes there is, here’s the link: timberbiscuitwoodworks.com/shop/p/clamp-rack-woodworking-project-plans
The cadence of your voice over is really good. Nice Video!
Thanks man! I try to keep things rolling

Nice! Danish oil is super to work with. And yeah, always water pop! 😃
Great design and explanation! thanks!
Happy to hear that! Thanks!
Awesome rack and that work bench is so rad! Great video as always
Thanks man! It’s nice to finally put it to use!
Great Design, I need to build something like this. My parallel clamps are gonna take me out one day if I don't. lol
Thanks! Yeah, they can really put the squeeze on ya.
Great work, man! Bravo!

Great video. Where do you find plywood that tight and so many plys?
Thank you! I have two local lumberyards that stock Baltic birch. Though it is coming harder to come by.
Awesome. The design really seems to work well. Also it looks like your going to hit 10K any minute so Congrats on that a little early!!
Thank you very much! We are really close!
Nice. Thanks for sharing ☺
Not a problem. Glad you enjoyed it!

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks absolutely!
Also, can't wait until you break the 10k subscriber count. You are so close!
I’m superstitious about talking about it but… You’re right! 😀
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks sorry, didn't know haha.
That's really exciting though. I know I'm just a stranger from the internet, but I'm happy for you.
Looks great!
Thank you!
Nice making
Thanks!
Very nice finished product. Also well edited, you talked a little fast, but I could understand everything. Keep up the good work.

Hahaha! They are still heavy but probably about half as heavy as pipe clamps overall.
@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks Thanks!
nice👍
Thanks!
Well done mate 😊
Thanks! Cheers
Did you took inspiration from Timothy Wilmot (benchworks)? The designs are really close from each other. In all cases, well done!
Thanks! No, I haven’t seen his but I’ll check it out.

@@TimberBiscuitWoodworks heard chef
Oui Chef!

IMHO too complicated, too much work and not proper use of space. Just my opinion. I wood build something that optimizes the space.
