Bessey Clamp Racks

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- I decided to give one corner of the workshop a mini "makeover" and redo the racks for my Bessey clamps. I have used two designs - one very simple and the other a little more interesting.
If you would like the plans for these racks please let me have your email address.
Your "it's a tool, not a piece of furniture" look better than my best pieces of furniture.
I like the idea of doing the upper and lower at the same time. Nice.
This is awesome! We love it!!!
+BESSEY Tool GmbH & Co KG Danke. Peter
We appreciate the great video as always! I wish I had you for a high school teacher, I would have had fun learning as you are a great instructor! Jeff
Hi Peter, could yoou send me these plans as well. You sent me the Parf Guide plans a few days ago. Same email address. Great work. Love you channel.
Hi Stephen, I am sorry but I do not retain email addresses and in the last week I have sent about 100 sets of plans. Please send me your details again and state which plans you want at that time as I am receiving so many requests that I have no spare time to try and dig back through past requests. Peter
Hi Stephen, The plans are on the way. Cheers. Peter
Thank you very much for this great video which have inspired me a lot. I’m in the process of redesigning my workshop and I find your videos very informative. Keep up this nice work of yours. Jens from 🇩🇰
Glad it was helpful!
Really enjoyed this one Peter. I was a bit X Carved out - probably because i don't have one!
I made a small clamp rack and did it by cutting slots into a piece of wood and then giving that a backboard for mounting. I also found that the domino made a perfect size slot for the Bessy kliklamps. I have 4 on the end of my bench so that they are always to hand.
+Stuart Morgan Hi Stuart Yes I used the Domino to do exactly that and it may be visible in the odd video. I did not include it in this one but may include in a Workshop Notes or something similar/ Cheers. Peter
11:11 Let me guess, Peter: *BESSEY* red? Ha, ha..
HaHa - it could be. Cheers. Peter
Nice one Peter, I've been thinking of making one of those for awhile. I've only got 2 revos but I've just bought 12 of the smaller ones.
+Biggsy1970 I bought most of my Besseys before the Revos came out - I just wish I had more Revos as they are just so good. Peter
Peter, I like you clamp hangers better than the commercial ones I purchased. Thanks for sharing how to class up the shop area!
Hi Gary, Is the expression "Pimping one's workshop" ? Maybe I am not quite up to speed with these things. Peter
Hello Peter. Well I only ran across this four years after you produced it! But I must agree with Kent; your entire shop is furniture quality. I just bought a couple of more Bessey clamps so I bought another of the $30 steel hanging brackets from Rockler. While they do a great job, they’re not nearly as eye-catching as yours! After I have acquired another 10 Bessey parallel clamps, I will definitely use your plan! Thanks as always. You remain “Dr. Clever.”
Hi Steve, Gosh, you are very kind. Cheers. Peter
Nice !!
I think what we really need to call you is....Peter Perfect. Can I get a few "Likes" for that?
+David Handley Of course you can - Many thanks David. Peter
Nice Peter. I like the light/dark wood choices for the rack/shelf.
.... and no X-Carve used in the process. :-) :-) JimE
I searched for screw, glue on racks, and i ender up here…..
Love all your videos Peter,you do an outstanding job,would like to have the plans you offer for the Bessey clamp rack if you could send them to me,Thank you. Tom H
Hi Tom, You need to send me an email - go to my TH-cam dashboard, click on "About" and use that email address and please state which plans you need. Cheers. Peter
Really nice Clamp Racks and easy to follow procedures. Thanks
Very well done! I must say that, being from the US, I find your turns of phrase and figures of speech to be quite entertaining (and refreshingly articulate). .... Bravo!
Thanks! 😃
Peter, another excellent video.......nice that you are back on other projects other than X-Carve !
We see you using Festool Router..........did not see the UJK Router table anywhere in the background........gone to a new home?
p.s Thanks for the plans you sent me recently.
+rotti43628 Space is becoming a premium and so I am doing some reorganising. Some things have moved. Many thanks. Peter
I've seen so many clamp racks but your design is SIMPLY the BEST!
Hi Mark, If you would like the drawing then just send me your email address. I give away all of my plans free of charge. Cheers. Peter
New Brit Workshop ,
Slight confession here. I discovered this channel a few days ago and have been addicted to the back log thus far, and am almost caught up. I can only say 2 things. 1: I have learned SO much in a short space of time and 2: Why were you not teaching at my school in 1993?!
+JamesG19771 Hi James, That is very kind - I was very busy in Liverpool in 1993 and it did involve some teaching but that is another story. Cheers. Peter
Lovely clamp rack, nice design and execution, both with screws and dominos. We all have problems with wall space so to save mine I have mounted my rack at the highest location I can, i.e. at full reach of the length of the clamp. Gives me an additional 180cm of wall for all the small tools. (Still wish I had the set of clamps you have, and if I did I'd probably want them in the shot too!)
Hi Ian, Many thanks. Peter
Peter, always the perfectionist; your 'tool racks' are better than my furniture. Regards.
+Ron Cooper Hi Ron, It is good to hear from you - how are things? The problem is that once you start to make videos people expect you to produce good stuff ! We started building our house in early1981and I finally painted the last piece of skirting board about 5 years ago. If I had been using a video blog to show the progress of the building then I would have had to have had it all perfect by the end of 1983 ! Take care my friend. Peter
Really well done as always Peter. Not sure I would be so accurate for furniture let alone a workshop project! Your videos are great and always ones I go to first, whatever the subject.
Regards
Mike B
+Mike Bernard Hi Mike, Many thanks - I quite like the accuracy thing as everything comes together so easily and I am sure that in the long run it saves time. Cheers. Peter
Beautiful work. To echo other comments, you're utilitarian rack is a nicer piece of furniture than any in my house...shame on me. ;)
I do my best ! Cheers. Peter
I just moved all my Bessey Clamps from the garage to the new workshop I am setting up.
I look forward to using your design in the shop.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Steve. Peter
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good video Peter.Much appreciated as always. Kind regards
+MrAJ M Many thanks AJ. Peter
Fine!
What’s with the shameless Festool plugs? How would a dominoe have made making that rack faster?
I bought the Festool kit, I like it and it makes accurate assembly very easy. Peter
Peter. i'd appreciate it if you cold send me the plans for the clamp racks. Please use the same address as the one for the workshop chair. Regards and thank you . Andrew
Hi Andrew, In order to get plans or to contact me via email I need your email address. TH-cam no longer has a private messaging service and so in order to get in touch you need to place a comment on this or any other video with your email address. The TH-cam software should identify and send it to the spam folder for The New Brit Workshop. Nobody will be able to see your email address except you and me. I will then delete your comment so that it does not end up in the public domain and I will then send the plans. Were we to do this the other way around then my comment, with my email address, would appear for all the world to see. Peter
hi peter i would like the plans to your clamp rack but dont wish to publicise my email address in the comments section. Are you on UKW forum btw? im sure ive seen you post

Always leave your videos with a smile on my face! Thanks again peter!
+Matthew Challis Hi Matthew, Many thanks - now I have a smile on my face as well thanks to you. Cheers. Peter
Great! Very nice clamp rack design and instructional video.
Cheers. Peter
Dear Peter
Will you please send me a set of plans for these Bessey clamp rack options.
Regards
Hennie Meeding
The plans are on the way. Peter
Very neat Peter. Something like this is what I'm needing.
+Malcolm Daly Hi Malcom, the plans are free - just send me your email address. Peter
Oh Peter. You are the best!
Peter I would very much like a copy of the plans for this rack. How do I send you my email address as I would rather not put it in the public domain through this avenue?
Adam
Can you please provide the link to the plans. Thanks
Hi Rick, In order to get plans I need your email address. To find my email address go to my main TH-cam page, click the "About" tab and that leads to my email address. I am told this has to be done on a PC. Cheers. Peter
Peter, have you watched Andrew Klein's video on Bessey modification to provide 4 way clamps on youtube? A quick search and you'll get it. An interesting modification for those times you're jointing and not using the domino. I've been considering adding the modification to a couple of mine but haven't as yet. Given your love of bessey, thought it might interest you.
I just got my first 4 Bessy Revos. Upgrades from pipe clamps and the black and decker quik clamps. I they are amazing clamps.
Hi Mike, I first saw them when Norm Abram was using them on his woodworking broadcasts. I bought my first few direct from Germany and now, of course, they are easy to find here in the UK. Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop that’s awesome. I watched Norm as well. New Yankee Workshop. He had that large roll around clamp rack he made. I still have a couple VHS 📼 tapes I ordered from him. 😊
Hi Mike, I would really love to meet him one day. I spent 5 years with weekdays away from the family and it was watching Norm that helped me to keep my sanity ! Cheers. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop I would like to meet him too as well as the rest of the Ask this Old House crew. 😊
nice one peter the best clamps deserve the best shelf for hanging
+Theoldguys 8 Yes, I love the Besseys - well done Norm Abram for showing me the way. Peter
great job Sir
Thank You for the plans.
Any time!
Would you be so kind to send me a copy of your plans for these racks. Thank you so much.
nice
Hey Peter, what material is the wall behind that you use to mount your rack? Drywall, Gymsum, Concrete? I am wondering if my drywall could withstand the load of the heavy clamps.
Hi Georgie, I would not risk the weight of clamps like this on drywall unless you can locate a cross-member behind the board. My wall is brick with plaster on top. If you have drywall you can build a frame that goes from floor to ceiling and wide enough for your clamp rack. This can be secured to the drywall at several places but the weight of the clamps will be taken by the frame resting on the floor. You still have to take account of the forces that might apply at right angles to the drywall surface but with enough fixing of the frame to the drywall the risk can be minimised. I used this technique in my new workshop for the wood racks - take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/SYv7S1-sTMo/w-d-xo.html
awesome job. i love it
+Shane's Hobby Shop Hi Shane, Many thanks. Peter
What email do I use to get in contact with you for your plans for the Bessy clamps? They look beautiful and very functional. Though this is an older video, it doesn't seem to loose its charm or elegance! Cheers across the pond!
Hi Mark, The plans are on the way and you message, with the email address, has been deleted. It was never visible to the public. Peter
Very nice. Good design
+denis daurer Hi Denis, Many thanks. Peter
Very very nice. Well done. Now if I could just afford those lovely clamps.
Hi Howard, Nothing in life comes easy and if it ever did then we would have no ambitions or dreams. Try a woodworking show where kit is often discounted, especially on the last day. Good luck. Peter
Please, send plans for the clamp racks. Thanks for your generosity.
No problem, but I need an email address so that I can send the plans. You can send this by Private Message - follow this link: th-cam.com/users/StoneMessage Click "About" followed by "Send Message". This sometimes does not work from a mobile device but is fine from a PC. Peter
Hi Peter, could one use a bisquit joiner instead of the dominos? I am sort of getting adicted to your channel again!
+Henning Gohlke It should work okay as long as you clamp whilst the glue is drying. Peter
Great video David , back to woodworking and no Cnc to be seen lol thanks for the great idea for my clamp
+Terry De'ath Hi Terry, Glad you like it. Peter
Very nice clamp rack. Would you please send me a copy of the plans. Thank you
Hi Frank, Please send me your email address so that I can send the plans to you. Peter
Hello Peter, great video - how do i send you my e-mail address for a set of plans without the whole world seeing it?
Hello David,

how do I send you my email address
Hi Peter, lovely work, can I ask your opinion and advise, I purchased four Bessey K body 4foot clamps which arrived today, I read many reviews and was sure I had made the right decision, when laying the clamps out on my out feed table I placed up against the inside cheeks of the Bessey clamps a very accurate German made 90 degree square and to my surprise the Clamps where not parallel, actually out my several degrees, is this normal Peter in the respect that if tightened the clamp heads will become true 90's or is these clamps defective? Your views on this will be appreciated kind regards Louie Ulster Workshop Ireland.
Hi Louie, I am not sure and am away from my workshop until the weekend. I think that you will find that they come up square when pressure is applied. Peter
@@NewBritWorkshop Thankyou pal and I hope I am not disturbing you, I did indeed notice when wood was clamped they where perfectly true, thankyou again kindest regards Louie
Good as always Peter.
Great job for and with great tools ! ;)
+TravaillerLeBois.com Merci beaucoup. Votre canal vidéo est superbe - now I did check my own effort on a tranlation site and only forgot the "e" at the end of "superbe". Bon chance mon ami. Peter
Thank you, Peter !
You inspire us so much, keep on going !

My email is bubba3960@hughes.net. Could you please send me the plans via email for the Bessel clamp racks. Thank you
Hi Peter.
Could you tell me: do you prefer the Festool router table or the UJK? I've seen you use both.....
Many thanks.
Jaime.
P.S Love the videos - really great work.
+Jaime Clifton Hi Jaime, The two router tables are designed for different user profiles. The Festool CMS-OF setup favours the mobile professional user as it can be packed up and put in and out of a van in next to no time. It provides accurate results and is easy to use. It is also particularly useful in the small workshop as it can be tucked in a corner or even folded up. The UJK table with its solid cast iron top is very much the centre piece solution for the workshop based user. It is very accurate, is easy to set up and adjust and produces excellent results. I put mine on castors as it was so difficult to move around. Both router tables produce the quality of results that I need in my standard of woodwork. It is the user and his working environment that should dictate which is the more suitable. Peter
+New Brit Workshop (Peter) Thanks Peter, for the concise reply.
I've recently bought the CMS but did wrestle for a long time over whether to buy a more static unit. I do have a small workshop so I believe I made the right choice, more so now with your advise too.
Keep up the good work.
Jaime.
P.s. You should think about setting up a premium subscription service detailing longer projects. I would certainly purchase.
+Jaime Clifton Hi Jaime, It is always difficult to give definitive advice as it does so much depend on the exact circumstances of the user and his or her workshop. From what you have said you have made an excellent choice. The subscription service would require me to make more videos than I am doing now. I spend 6 days a week making videos and 2 hours every day (7 days a week) answering questions and so on. Cheers. Peter
muito bom.
Muito obrigado. Peter
Perfect- I’ve finally found the excuse to build something to hold all my clamps. Could you send me the plans please
Hi Martin, No problem but I need an email address in order to get them to you. Peter
New Brit Workshop it’s wheatleymartin@yahoo.com
Many thanks
Hi Martin, The plans are on the way. Peter
Hi Peter, nice work. How can I write you to get the Bessey clamp drawings, please? Just bought 2 Revo's and 2 EZS. I really like them but have no place to store them :-)
No problem but I need an email address to send the plans. Peter
Yes, but I kinda don't want to write my email in public. Or am I missing something :-))
Of course. Go to my main channel home page - th-cam.com/users/StoneMessage Select "About" and then "Send Message" in order to send a private message which nobody else can see. Peter
Couldn't get the link to work but send via "New Brit Workshop" - thank you :-)
