This will probably be one of the most useful projects in your shop! It's great to have a place for all the clamps. Your video's and narration are always excellent. Also love how your family works together on everything. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic year to come!!!
I whole heartedly agree using the lowest cost plywood available. There’s a fine line between built to last and over built so I jump at any chance to achieve built to last quality.
You can never have too many clamps or too much space in your shop for clamps. I love how you could come back and hang a few dozen barrel clamps to the sides of this rack AND still have storage space on top. Great shop project.
i said on facebook that I couldn't wait for this video and it didn't disappoint. Another great video as always. Love that you showed the mistake on the bracket and what to do to correct it. Keep up the great content..... P.S. Merry Christmas to you and the whole family.
I want to commend you on two levels. First, you are excellent teacher. I think it is great that you admit when you make a “colossal mistake”. Most you tubers would just edit it out. Secondly, I think it is great that you incorporate your whole family into your channel. If you keep making videos I’ll keep watching.
James, I love your videos. I love that you have your family in the shop and that you practice overkill and perfectionism in everything you make. I've learned so much watching your channel. Just ordered a mallet, super psyched to have a piece of your guys' work in my shop :)
I like to use a vacuum connected to my K4 pocket hole jig. All chips get drawn away and I don't have to pull bit up to clear the chips. Much quicker and cleaner process.
Beautiful rack James and family. Job well done. I couldn't help myself, I just ordered my third Thor Mallet this time the medium size. Cant get enough. Love your channel!!
That’s a bad ass clamp rack. Love to work as usual. And super proud of you that there weren’t any mouse click sounds in the background! 😉 cool video bub!
James, I just subscribed. Besides you excellent craftsmanship, I'm so impressed that the family is participating in your projects. I have 2 daughters as well and they have helped from time to time. Can't wait to show them your videos! Keep up the fine work.
He's right about getting discounts on slightly damaged sheets. Just this week I needed a sheet of melamine; 4x8. I knew I only needed about a third of the sheet because I was making a table top for my drill press. I found one that had a somewhat significant gouge in a single part of the sheet. A manager at the 'orange' place gave me that $28 sheet for 7 bucks. It pays to ask for a discount on things. If you don't ask the answer is always NO. If you do ask I figure the chances are minimum 50/50.
@ : For sure... About a week ago I was at the 'blue' place picking up a couple sheets of 1/4". There was 1 that was damaged in the end 3rd pretty badly. Knowing that I could still get use out of the remaining 2/3, I asked the guy working that area for a discount on it. He said, "How 'bout $2.50?". Sure enough I took that deal. And then he thanked me for getting it cause he said he was going to throw it away at the end of that day because it had been sitting there a few days. I've always had very good luck at both places tbh with damaged stuff. I think they realize they would rather make 'some' money on an item than take the total loss.
Outstanding project once again! Really appreciate all of your work in providing such great content. All the best from Central Oregon. Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless.
I’m curious, after three years of use do you find having the small light clamps at the bottom to be cumbersome? My thought is that the small clamps would be best up high where they need a little more care to install, and the heavy clamps would go down low where they are easy to slide into place. Bending over to latch the small grip clamps seem like inefficient body movement. As a production carpenter I’m always looking to make movement smoother , quicker, and with less effort in order to reduce costs or body stress.
The truth is, we’ve moved the squeeze clamps mostly to the assembly table. On either end of the table there’s a board for them to attach to. And that’s much easier. Also, unfortunately, I’m not the person to ask about streamlining production processes in the shop. During the last 6 months I was redesigning & rearranging the shop to make everything easier and more functional. And believe it or not. I put this clamp rack halfway around the other side of the shop from the assembly table. Not it’s ridiculously inconvenient to grab parallel clamps. Such a dumb oversight. Especially considering how long I’ve been doing this. I’m not sure what it is, but I have a hard time setting up for for ease, convenience, and just general shop-flow. I think you should move back here and help me!
Very nice James and girls! Boy, it must have been a small fortune for all of those clamps. But a well-invested purchase into your company. Do you do just cabinets or do you make furniture too?
When I get that many clamps I promise I'll buy the plans and build that rack too. Great video as always. Merry Christmas. (All I want for Christmas is my Bessy clamp...)
Hi James I love sour videos. But I have I question about the clamp rack. You produced 11 holders but I could only see 10 rows of clamps. I guess the fourth clamp from the right side has no clamps on it. Small mistake 😝
Hi James, Another fantastic video. Did I hear you say that the clamp rack would hold pipe clamps also? I have 5 parallel clamps, and 105 pipe clamps. (No joke). Thanks again for your videos and great info, I'll be getting those plans soon.
So you used 3/4" plywood, how man_ sheets did you use making the really nice looking clamp rack. I don't have as many clamps like you do. It's closer to only 50. I still do not own any of the Bessy or Jet parallel clamps. I have a mixture of Dewalt, Irwin and Harbor Freight. I also have a bunch of pipe clamps and some still need the pipe. I can take pieces of this design to make my own to accommodate 100, which is my goal. I love the little jig you made for creating a line for the screws. Stealing that one!!
I have a huge problem with my dewalt f clamps slipping. Any of yours slip? Any fix to it? My harbor freight ones have never slipped, and I figured paying 3 1/2 times more for dewalt would be beneficial...not when they can’t even hold slight pressure without popping
Hi, I’ve never had one slip. Not even once. I wonder if there was a batch that had defects. Have they always slipped? Can you send me a picture of one of them? I’ll try and do some research on it. DeWalt should have no problem honoring a replacement.
Great storage project!! And I am impressed that your 2 helpers are women and they " like" woodworking. Thanks for all your videos.
Another fine video. And I love how your daughters are always in the shop helping.
Thank you!
I love the fact that your daughters are so involved in your channel.
I love the fact that your daughters are so involved in your channel also
You are truly blessed to have your kids in the shop working with you.
Great project..

Excellent family teamwork
I whole heartedly agree using the lowest cost plywood available. There’s a fine line between built to last and over built so I jump at any chance to achieve built to last quality.
Awesome that you are teaching your daughters to do these hands on woodworking projects! Hope we see more of them in your future videos!
You can never have too many clamps or too much space in your shop for clamps. I love how you could come back and hang a few dozen barrel clamps to the sides of this rack AND still have storage space on top. Great shop project.
Love watching your videos. So soothing.. makes me want to redo my woodshop
נעים לראות בסרטון שמלובה באהבת משפחה בעבודה בצבת. נקיה מסודרת והכי מדויקת להפליא. יש מה ללמוד מזה לכולם תודה מראש. המשך שבוע נעים

Thanks for all the videos and the plywood center jig! Too obvious but a real time saver!!
I like the design and your workmanship and seems to be space efficient.
just started woodworking and discovered your channel, incredible! you are very talented
That is one big clamp rack. I appreciate you leaving the mistake in. Good to see even masters like you can make an oops once in a while.
Pretty cool the way lotta ur projects become family projects
Very nice build. I also like that you include your daughters in the builds and videos. Wish very one a Very Merry Holiday Season.
James, I love your videos. I love that you have your family in the shop and that you practice overkill and perfectionism in everything you make. I've learned so much watching your channel. Just ordered a mallet, super psyched to have a piece of your guys' work in my shop :)
Awesome! Thank you very much!
I like to use a vacuum connected to my K4 pocket hole jig. All chips get drawn away and I don't have to pull bit up to clear the chips. Much quicker and cleaner process.
YES, another amazing build by the King Family!!! Thanks so much for all that you do , especially in the KFW private community.
Thank you! You are too kind!
I store my clamps at my neighbors, he borrows them all the time anyway. LOL
Haha
I have a 'take a tool, return a tool' policy with a couple neighbors... you bring back the old one, you get a different tool, otherwise no tool.
Blahahahaha
@@GearheadDaily better man than I. I have a put my stuff down and get out policy. Too much of my stuff doesnt come back.
@@devinmartinolich7795 I'm getting closer to that as every tool stays missing.
As always a wonderful job to the whole family
Another great video. I wish I had the room for it. I built your bench last year. Best thing I’ve ever done.
Great job!
Great idea. I am going to build one mostly from your design.
Pretty clamp rack! Great use of space!
Good job, I got to build one
Awesome clamp rack, thanks for another great video.
Beautiful rack James and family. Job well done. I couldn't help myself, I just ordered my third Thor Mallet this time the medium size. Cant get enough. Love your channel!!
Thank you!! You are very kind.
~James
So cool, you and the girls make it look so easy.......
Hi Tony! Thanks for watching!
I wish i could afford that many clamps. Honestly thats a nicer variety of clamps than any store i have been to
That’s a bad ass clamp rack. Love to work as usual. And super proud of you that there weren’t any mouse click sounds in the background! 😉 cool video bub!
toujours de super travail merci from france
Another great project James well done buddy!
Great project and great editing. I always love that you have your family help. Very cool. A+
Great clamp rack!! I always enjoy watching your videos and learn much from them.
Hi Paul! Thank you!

HI James you put out great videos keep up the great work.
Looks great! Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thanks for the videos.

Thanks for sharing that
Thanks for Watching!
Great job. Love it.
Man, I clearly need to up my clamp game.
I’m like you, I also have about 60 clamps. Very nice job.
Very nice James and family!!
Thanks Shaun!
Outstanding project once again! Really appreciate all of your work in providing such great content. All the best from Central Oregon. Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless.
I saw the warped section right off the bat and wondered if it was the weight of the clamps weighing down on it but nice to know it’s just warped ply

Another Great video! Thank you for all that you do for us! That had to be the least amount of glue I have seen you use yet, lol
You should build a pool cue.
Awesome!!
Hi James
I love sour videos.
But I have I question about the clamp rack. You produced 11 holders but I could only see 10 rows of clamps. I guess the fourth clamp from the right side has no clamps on it.
Small mistake 😝
Well Done Family Another great job & idea (Seasons Greetings to All) 🌲🌲🎄🎄🔨🔨
Thanks Andrew! And same to you my friend!
Hi James,
Another fantastic video. Did I hear you say that the clamp rack would hold pipe clamps also? I have 5 parallel clamps, and 105 pipe clamps. (No joke). Thanks again for your videos and great info, I'll be getting those plans soon.
James can you post a link for the squares you re using, please?
Again NICE. Have a Great Christmas.
Thanks Simon! You too!
Great video james well detailed information the build process. Only thing is I'd have to build a bigger workshop to fit it in 😂😂😂
Hi James, have you ever illustrated how to correctly install a screw on the show?
Thanks,
Jim
We were watching the build for the miter saw and we noticed you had a Bosch saw and in this one you upgraded to Festool. Is there a reason why?
Hey I see you use Incra sleds, how come you don’t use the fence?
How did you make the 3/8 jig for drawing lines to drill pilot holes?
Excellent Craftsmanship!!🎄🎄🎁🎁🎂🎂🎇🎇🎉🎉
So you used 3/4" plywood, how man_ sheets did you use making the really nice looking clamp rack. I don't have as many clamps like you do. It's closer to only 50.

I can take pieces of this design to make my own to accommodate 100, which is my goal. I love the little jig you made for creating a line for the screws. Stealing that one!!
Is it wrong that I "thumbs up" before the intro is even done? Thanks James!
Build it strong, cain't go wrong!
Yes indeed
What drill bit did you use to pre-drill and countersink those deck screws?
Hi James. Whose drill/countersink tool do you use?
I see you replaced the Bosch Miter Saw for an Festool. Did the other one break down, or did you think this one is better?
What brand of framing squares do you have? I saw woodpecker but the stainless steel square I couldn’t quite make out.
Fantástico... parabéns!
To do it all over again - would you have culled through that bunk of plywood for a bit less warped sheet?
Not sure. It wasn’t really that much harder. But if perfect sheets are near the top, then I’ll take them.
Nice.
Do you wish you had mounted it higher so those clamps on the bottom would be more accessible?
Hi Nick, nope, haha. My wife is 4’10, her & my daughters are too short for it to be any higher. And they outnumber me. :-)
I have a huge problem with my dewalt f clamps slipping. Any of yours slip? Any fix to it? My harbor freight ones have never slipped, and I figured paying 3 1/2 times more for dewalt would be beneficial...not when they can’t even hold slight pressure without popping
Hi, I’ve never had one slip. Not even once. I wonder if there was a batch that had defects. Have they always slipped?
Can you send me a picture of one of them? I’ll try and do some research on it.
DeWalt should have no problem honoring a replacement.
very nice ,good work ,n1
Thank you!
Always excellent videos and a fine humor.
But how did you get the measurements of the eletric outlet?
Pedro, I took an electrical box and measured it.
What brand are your silver set squares?
>> Neil from South Australia
James, are you aware of Rare Woods located in Mexico, Maine. Over 125 different species from all over the world. Check it out.
You have more money invested in clamps than I do in my whole shop.
It’s 34 years worth of collecting and upgrading.
Nice clamp rack, but I do hope he gets his fasteners for free. Geesshh!
That's certainly a lot of clamps.
Well, I’ve been collecting them for about 30 years, haha.
James, what happened to the Bosch miter saw? You are now using a Festool?
Hi Dan, the Festool was a gift last Christmas. In many ways I preferred the Bosch. But what I miss the most was my DeWalt before that.
What kind of screws do you use??
Have you lost some weight?! You’re looking slimmer, looks good King!!
Did I miss hearing or seeing the final measurements of this clamp rack. I have limited space to mount this on the wall.
no stain or paint for easy cleaning
Awesome build
Thank you!
Lmao he apparently didn't have enough clamps and has to get help holding the plywood 🤣💔 I was gonna say his Clamps have Racks when I saw it 😜😆🤪🙃😏
R u still selling your mallets ?
Yes we sure are. Here is a link.
kingsfinewoodworking.com/collections/thors-hammer-woodworking-mallets
Imagine hand carving solid Wenge necks for Bass Guitars.....lmfao. Gloves are a necessity 😉
Better to go overkill vs finding out later that you should have.
I agree. 😁👍🏻
What was the approximate cost of this project? Ballpark.
I think I paid about $55
As overbuilt as the assembly is, I am surprised that you only used one french cleat on the back to hold it up.
