I went to youtube to research clamp racks. Here I am ten minutes later, research complete!!!! You idea is simple, cheap, universal, repositionable. I was afraid of falling down the rabbit hole in designing my clamp storage, but this is all I need. You are the man!

What he said. I am building this tonight after work.
Boy am I glad I saw this before going crazy with other designs. It's the simplest, easiest, cheapest and most efficient one I've seen. Thanks much
I just built a smaller 16 inch wide version and am happy with it! Simple design, dust falls through, and plenty sturdy.
I am a clamp hoard. I pick up clamps at garage sales, etc, so like you, they are not all of the same beautiful vintage. I love the easy build. I added a few inches above with a pipe for my C-clamps and a shelf above that for my corner clamps and oddities (aka dust collection). Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow this is great. It’s especially helpful cause you shared your exploration and thought process. It really helps to justify your final design and helps someone like me in my own design process. Thanks!
I built one of the ones you see with slots and already hit the limit and jeezus it was a lot of work to make all the cutouts. This is super simple and scalable. Great job.
I really like how you lay out the problem and all of the considerations to design for. Then talking through how you come up with your design elements. Most videos on this topic, skip all that and just start building a solution. Thanks to your technique, I can go look at my clamp problem to solve and come up with a design that meets my requirements. Kudos!
I have watched more "clamp rack" videos than I care to remember. Your design is awesome and incredibly simple, thanks for breaking it down Barney style. I already have shelving in place with useable dead space below them. I can simply attach a piece of scrap between the 16" centers and hang my clamps. You turned what I expected to be a day long process into an hour long process. Keep the great ideas coming 👍

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck getting your rack set up!
Simple and practical. Beats the other videos I saw that looked more like a bit of showing off than finding a simple solution. I'm using yours!
I am only new to woodwork and i found that i had my clamps scattered everywhere. I stumpled accross this video and put together this rack when i knocked off work. What a fantastic and simple little project. Thankyou.
Why have I not seen this magnet trick before?!? FML. That’s so smart.
Great ideas! Thanks for posting. 5:15 I like my clamps down where they're easier to reach, so I'll probably hang the rack a little lower, and make a second, narrower one for my few long clamps.
Thank you for this simple and useful design. I made one today in about an hour, and now have another reason to buy more clamps.

Sometimes the greatest inventions are the simplest. I had been studying a clamp rack plan for a few days and creating a cart with the required materials. Then I ran across this video. Simple yet fits the need. I built it in less than an hour with scraps left over from other projects. It is perfect and cost me nothing! Great job!

Really straightforward. I have one built with conduit, but need more and will be using your approach.
Very best solution I've found after searching quite a lot ! Congrats ! Super simple and efficient at the same time ! :D
Simplistically super! Great idea for the smaller workshop, a space saving and easy to get to the right clamp solution! Thanks Tom.
I would suggest a oversized hole in the front plate to allow the driver to install the screws through the wall plate.
This is it. This is what I'm going to build. Thank you!
Needed a easy way to hold all my different sized clamps and this was a perfect idea. Made a 4ft long unit in about 20 min out of old scrap plywood and now my clamps are organized. Great video!
Great idea. Easy to build and works perfectly. Most other clamp racks shown on KZread were too elaborate for my shop. This is ideal. Well done.
Thank you for this video, well thought out and going thru the benefits and cons of each type of build. I’ve been looking for diy clamp rack that would also accommodate my pressure triggered clamps and this is perfect. God bless!
I like this design because it is simple and effective.. well done!
So simple, and just as good as fancy ones! Thanks for another great, simple idea.
Well done. I am always skeptical about custom-fit tool holders since they will invariably go out of style once the next tool comes around, so this general solution for all kinds of clamps makes more sense.

I built one of your clamp racks for my workshop last week. Perfect! Thanks for sharing this design. Strong, great balance for the clamps, and easy to build.
Works well as a simple rack. You might want to add a piece of ply in the right side that extends up above to prevent them from falling off that end.

Best rack I have seen, by far! Others are fancier, but they take more space, and hold fewer clamps. Shop space is at a premium, so function beats fancy, every time in my shop! Yours is a great design! I'm going to build one (or two) for myself.
Thanks, this is a great approach. I'm going to build this one today!

Tommy, I love this simple idea. It is extremely efficient. Love watching your videos. Keep them coming and keep up the good work. The ideas are always the tough part ! Will be 70 soon and am always learning !!
Great job on the clamp rack. I looked at several designs before deciding on yours. I made your rack 52” long. I made a shelf to mount above the rack, also 52” long. I was able to get all my clamps on the rack with room to grow. It is very strong. Thank you for sharing.
Made it! It took about half an hour and solved a month’s worth of frustration! Thanks so much!

Just built this rack. Works great. Your recommendations were accurate about the longer screws. Too bad I can't share a picture.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Great design. Made one up for my garage and small collection of various clamps. Works like a charm. I appreciate it!
Thanks for the idea. I will try it on a French Cleat wall.
Thanks for this idea! I to have watched more clamp rack videos than I care to admit. Like others have mentioned, to me this is by far my favorite one, an I've been holding off on building one, till now I will make this style! The only downside I can see of this is since their isnt slots in the wood to hold the clamp, if you dont pay attention an smack your clamp rack with a board you'll have some cleaning up to do. But that's only fair for not paying attention. I deffentaly have never hit my 4' led shop light on the ceiling chain with a 8' 1" pvc. Deffentaly never happened twice either 😂🤣😂
I just finished my rack. Made it out of 1/2” plywood. It holds all my clamps perfectly. Thanks for your video.
Great idea. Cool old Craftsman Bandsaw. I got o e just like it.
Thanks for the great, simple design! I added an end plate to mine to keep the clamps from sliding off the end.

Great idea, I hacked it by test attaching the back plate to the studs, removing the plate, placing the cross pieces so as not to be over or near a stud, building the rack, and drilling out a large hole in the front plate to provide access to the back plate so as to drill the attachment screws in straight.
EXCELLENT! I'm getting ready to consolidate 3 clamp racks into one area and this will help make thing work & fit.

Was looking for a clamp rack design and this one is just brilliant in its simplicity! Will be making good use of this.
Nice work, I like how you showed your process of figuring it out. I've been through several styles of clamp racks and I agree the the slot-per-clamp is not very efficient. I do have one where I have about 10 each of smaller bar clamps so I have a little rack where they slide in from the front, which works out well because it's only about 10 inches wide ( but deeper, of course)

dope clamp rack. been looking for inspo for a while and this is the ticket! ripper of a vid, mate!
I've been clamping my clamps to the rear of my pegboard with the 2x4's used to hold the board. I'll try this method and see if I can get by with hanging and not clamping my clamps. Great video and I'm sure you hit a sweet spot for those like me looking for clamp storage ideas.
Awesome. I'll be making this. Thanks man.

Thanks for the video, turns out it worked perfectly for my situation. I made one just a little smaller.
Thanks, that's exactly what I needed . Something I could make from scrap pieces. I too removed the front to make it easier to mount. I also slid the adjustable end of the clamps up against the bottom of the face plate so they weren't too teetery .
Simply the best thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your simple and effective design, will certainly be including into current workshop design.
Great and simple idea for the rack. What I appreciate even more is the use of a bar magnet to find stud locations. I have always used small round magnets but with the larger surface area of a bar, it will be so much quicker. I will glue it to a small wooden handle and masking tape over the magnet as not to mar finished walls. Thank you very much.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, the bar magnet is nice, but I recommend a narrow one so you can still get a fairly precise location on the screw head. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!
