When I received my corner clamps, I noticed the attention to detail. They were packaged like a piece of fine jewelry. That detail did not go unnoticed. Good job!
Love your inspiring excitement. And...You are so right! Motivation is key! I devote extra attention to create a feel good environment in my work places. Often I bring my coffee into my workshop just to enjoy being there looking at my stuff around me with no intention to work. Before I know it, I am into some exciting work and the coffee is cold. Works every time! 😄
Chris I just started my French cleat wall and hung the first three rows. Sat back and looked at it for a bit, then asked myself what would Chris do. So I took it all down and sanded everything. Your videos are not only changing the way I set up my shop but the finesse and appearance it should be. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the Great videos.
This is great, I just started my clamp collection for real. The cleat solution is elegant, and as someone on the other side of the planet, I love that you are offering the files as well as the finished product :)
Great clamps system way less material to make it. I love the hedgehog and who doesn’t like the French cleat system its so easy to change the set up if need be.Thanks for sharing
Hi, I used your brilliant idea for the clamp hog to make my own, somewhat modified. Just completed it yesterday. I don't have a CNC and I most definitely don't see myself competing with one on my bandsaw, so mine isn't nearly as beautiful as yours, but I think it's working pretty well, thank you very much. 👌👏 I've added two more arches, so now I have two in the middle for 24 3/4'' Ponys and one on either side for 14 2'' Ponys and four el cheapo knock-offs that look just like the Ponys, 42 in total! Yes, yes, I know, I'm probably that one person who has too many spring clamps...! ☺️ Oh, and the total space taken up on my French cleats is just about a square of no more than 18 x 18''! 👏😎
First, someone needs to give me a sure fire way to convince my wife that I really NEED her side of the garage! I’m making do with my half, at 12’X24’ (okay, maybe a wee bit over on the 12’), but I’d be even happier with the full 24X24!! 😁 The clamp storage takes us back to a time when craftsman really put some pride in their work. Not like today when everything seems to be square mass produced in China and NO pride in the results! No, they don’t HAVE to be fancy BUT, it reflects on your skill and pride in what you produce! My first clamp storage was horizontal and took up too much wall space versus storing in depth back to front. The clamphog is wicked cool!!
Nice job - came back for a second look when I started to decide what I wanted to do for my clamp solution. Looking at possibly buying your plans and implementing cutting on a laser. Have you experimented with using 1/4" ply to see if it would be strong enough?
Yeah, it would be plenty strong. I would layer up at least two sheets together to make each arm three would be ideal so six in total 1/4 sheet cut outs to make one unit.
As I’m freezing my butt off here in Indianapolis, it’s always nice to check in with my “local” maker Buddy and what he’s building while wearing shorts and flip flops! 😂 I’ll be ordering some of the clamp holders soon!
I have gotten quite a few products that Chris since he started making these and I can tell you everything is top notch from start to finish. I love his products and would rather buy his than make my own.
Another fantastic video! Glad you decided to go with keeping it simple. You know what would look pretty cool is using that black laminate on the sides of these. I know it’s a lot of extra work for really no gain other than it would look pretty cool. Anyways keep up the good work!
@@AGlimpseInside How about a collectors edition? Some special laminate color available to those who have purchased an earlier special edition product(s) and this scheme would carry over your existing as well as future designs. I would love to be a part of that but thus far, I guess, international orders are not available. I remain in deep admiration of how you have managed to make your hobby your living and also how you are coming up with constant new design ideas and features that you yourself have such a great confidence in. The sky is the limit for you! I love your content!
Very nice, Chris! You asked, “What’s the word?” at around 4:00 of the video. I believe the words you are looking for directly applicable to that are: refined, polished, or perhaps even esoteric, my man! Keep up the great ideas and videos. And, Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Another awesome design and functionality. While watching this video, I was intrigued by your orbital sander jig. I noticed many makers, as well as myself using clamps and straps for sanders. Maybe there could be a jig that’ll work for many sanders in the near future rather than depending on clamps to hold down other tools to be used in many different ways. Keep up the great work!
Definitely something to think about. I would probably have to buy a whole bunch of Sanders to do the research though lol. But maybe not something to look forward to the future possibly
Clever design! I've been needing to make some more clamp storage for my oddball clamps this might be the ticket. I hope you offer digital plans at some point after your initial introduction maybe. Thanks for sharing as always.
I really hope and pray that you were still around with these products when I'm ready to do my Shop makeover cuz I do plan to convert to the French cleat system but unfortunately I'm a few years away from being able to redo my shop
I don’t plan on going anywhere and I’m going to work extremely hard to stay here and stay relevant brother. Best of luck and I hope you get it done as fast as you can
@@AGlimpseInside well if my future dreams workout this could be a win-win for both of us as I have no desire to try to learn a CNC let alone fit one in my shop but would love to reap the benefits of some of the products that you do on a CNC so when I'm ready I can help keep you in business by ordering your products, but I might also come up with a few ideas to send you a design to have you make for me if you would be willing to do custom pieces
Chris, your clamp racks are nice, but only holding 4 parallel clamps is a bit limiting. Lee valley sells their version at a similar price (Item 15K1101), which holds 6, but when I built my own, I made them able to hold 8. I modeled mine after the LV design; using the cross dowels as the attachment method gives the extra oomph to be able to hold 8 besseys at once. Still a great job though and I can't wait to get my CNC!
Good stuff. Man, I wish we could still get Baltic birch ply that nice. It just seems to have disappeared from our big box stores and I ask for Baltic birch at the mom and pop lumber yard and get blank stares.
Hey Merry Christmas brother (just in case you don’t get a video out before then) what a power train of ideas flowing through! They are great ideas! Only trouble is I went to order some to ship to Australia but couldn’t unfortunately. All good it’s still inspiring to watch and love your whole thinking of a good looking workplace helps everything and more likely to go to the shop
Brother I wish I could. Even shipping to the UK is pretty tough. Hope you guys have a great holiday and I hope you’re able not to be so cold down there lol during your summer
@@AGlimpseInside hahaha brother I actually love the heat. I come alive in the heat. The cold drives up the wall and it’s no where near as type of cold as you guys have. We are facing mandates pushing us all to have vaccines and since I can’t I will be spending more time at home in the shed so I am rewatching your videos for ideas 😂😂
Nice job with the new shop. busted watched that vid. Debating on stick frame ( which I could do myself (my way) or a metal garage like so. Great job, Enjoy'd it
Hi Chris, I just wanted to let you know how great these clamp holders work! I was just wondering if you are making these holders for pipe clamps also? Keep up the great work!
Great news they work with pipe clamps. Also thanks for the kind words. They are spaced just right to hold three-quarter inch pipe with a little bit of play. If you have some check it out
Of course that depends on the strength of your machine how many horsepower your spindle is. On the most conservative settings I can cut out eight pieces for four of these brackets in about 45 minutes to an hour
Hello. I'm new to your channel. I would like to know what size is your shop? I have a very small shop and hoping these would work. For the average woodworker, how would I do these french cleats by hand?
Just a thought. Offer some of your parts un-sanded for a slightly lower price. When Dad or Grandpop have the little helpers, this is a real job that they can take pride in helping with their hero's big project!
Chris, did you ever figure out the issue with the PDF file (included in the digital file products) where it doesn’t print to the correct size. When printing at 100% scale the sizing if off. Thanks
Great work as always. I went to check them out on your website and noticed you call them "Clint brackets." I can only guess that autocorrect might have gotten you, but if not, why are they called Clint brackets?
I have no idea of the ROI, shipping costs, etc. - but is there a market as you described without cleat walls, that you sell 16" runs of cleats? ~16" would span most garage stud walls and still (maybe) be economical to ship? A cleat wall's true value is indeed a whole wall full of flexible location, etc.....but maybe a handful of short strips, gets a new maker into the "groove" of things, gets them out in the shop more, and eventually gets them to a point where they can tool their own full-length cleats, etc. All along the while, they are in the market for the next new line of cleat-glimspe-cessories TM. Have a great holiday season with those kiddos.
David this is a great point. My father and wife and I were talking about this months ago and decided to wait till material costs were down and materials were more available to start this. It’s really nice to hear this feedback though as we were debating what size would be beneficial. 16 inches is something we landed on as well but I was also thinking of doing 24. As you could still get a lot of support into two studs with still having 24 inches of span. I’d like to know your thoughts on that link as well and thank you so much
I bought a heavy duty one from woodpeckers. Yes, its overpriced, but if I ever need to beat a nair-do-well to death i can just use pieces form it lol. I just didnt have time to build my own, and i needed something rugged to hold my heavy cabinet clamps from jorgenson that are 3-7' long.
I usually just skip anything using a CNC (or welding), but continued this time Look s like these can be easily done without a CNC. Design is good, mostly done on band saw it’ll not look as fancy but will function the same
I like your process and appreciate your enthusiasm for your great clamp designs, but as aJapanese zen and American arts & crafts minimalist, I prefer straight lines and 45° angles - not so much the complex curves sometimes used in architectural styles such as French, Roman, Italian and American Colonial. You’re absolutely right that fit and finish are just as critical the form, function and design and if you achieve that, you can spruce up a shop using other good design styles too.

Amazing Ideas From an Amazing Guy, Keep Them Coming Chris. Hope You Guys Are Safe And Well.
Keep up the great ideas. Just like the old phrase "Build it and they will come" :)
Your clamp holders look so much more stylish than the 45° ones I made. The hedgehog looks more like a porcupine once the clamps are added :-)
I love this new product, Chris!! Can't wait to order a few from you.
I have gotten quite a few products that Chris since he started making these and I can tell you everything is top notch from start to finish. I love his products and would rather buy his than make my own.
Great job Chris! Simple design, love it!
Your ‘before’ clamp storage was still better than mine.

Brilliant, Chris! Nicely done! 😃
Happy holidays!!!

Consider modify with a lip on the French Cleat “pipe clamp” larger clamps .
It's a Clamposaurus !!
Literally just came inside after making a basic 45 degree clamp holder for my French cleat wall lol fml
Yea I like the the clamp hog.
Yoink!
Zoink!
I kinda like Chia-clamp. lol
someone stole your pipe clamps from the original rack. ( was looking forward to the size you needed for 12 of them
Www.Aglimpseinside.Org
The French cleat holder XL can be modified to hold about 12 to 14. Check it out see if that might work for you
I would call this the porkie pine clamp holder…..
You have outgrown your shop
Instead of a clamphog, how about a clampzilla (patent-pending 😜)?!
Clamp Hog? Clampupine!!
I really like the WoodPrix plans.
