    I remember back in the day when you upgraded your initial clamp storage system because it was too bad, and now you're upgrading it once again to make new improvements. I love watching you as your woodworking tools and style change over time, it's very authentic. Also, a great message to send, that you should never just settle.
    Great job, Steve!

    I really like how you're showing the 3D model of what you're building before you start building. Makes it a lot easier to visualize.

    Loved this video. I especially appreciate the beginning section where you went through what works and doesn't work about each part of your previous storage system. That's my favourite bit of problem solving, so it was great that you shared the process!

    Clamps can be difficult to store because there are so many different sizes and shapes. Here are some of my solutions. Let me know if you have any clever ideas! Read more about this and download my plans here: bit.ly/clampracks

    • @orange13
      @orange13 7 років тому +1

      love the videos and like your clamp storage solution, however, one of the great things about clamps is that they, well, can easily clamp to things so my clamp storage solution is a straight piece of wood all of my clamps clamp to.

    • @Frostbain
      @Frostbain 7 років тому

      My main work bench for some of my stationary tools (drill press, etc.) has a piece of 1" tall 1/8" thick MDF screwed on to the back. It was a scrap from something else (bottom of my table saw sled I think?). I just clamp all my spring clamps to that, and hook my C-clamps over the edge. Always within reach where I'm most likely to need them :)

    Steve, I was wondering, while cutting the slots for the bar clamp rack, was there some reason you couldn't have just stood the piece upright? I was thinking that would have probably solved the issue of the curvature of the saw blade?

    I suggest storing clamps in a cave on top of a sacred mountain. Have the entrance of the cave guarded by a spirit who will only let the purest and bravest of heart enter. Leave the clamps in a container which can only be opened if a noble and great piece of woodworking is brought before the container and burnt as a worthy sacrifice. It may not be the most "convenient" way to retrieve clamps, but they will be well guarded and you will never have a dull moment in wood working again. You are guaranteed that every time you use the clamps for wood working the experience will be an epic adventure!

    Steve about the bandsaw cuts, there are nowadays blades with a variable TPI, the cut they give is really good and accurate. Might be worth a try. I resawed with a 3/4 tpi or "varitooth" 5/8" blade and basically only had to do some minor smoothing to get a finished surface. It changed how I worked with the bandsaw producing such better quality cuts.

  • @Cadwaladr
    @Cadwaladr 7 років тому

    My workshop is in my basement, so I tend to hang bar clamps from the ceiling trusses, which is rather suboptimal, because when you bump them they tend to fall down. Maybe I could make a rack like yours that would attach to the ceiling but would hold them more securely. My shop is pretty disorganised because I'm pretty disorganised, so every little thing helps.

  • @kittysterranart3266
    @kittysterranart3266 4 роки тому

    Cats like omg y human. Interesting video. When I first saw what you were talking about with the c clamps, I thought of maybe then sitting in a groove, but your idea seems to work much better. :) my thought would've probably eventually led to the groove wearing and causing problems with holding things properly.
