- In this video I tackle some overdue workshop organisation, and try to make sense of the mess of clamps that I’ve accumulated. Time to make a rack - or two - I think, and these ones have a little twist in the construction. Enjoy!

it is allways an inspiration to see you working in such a small workshop. In contrast to the huge hangars every TH-camr from Amerika seems to have. Keep it simple and clear and concentrate to the essential!
Thank you! 🙌👍
I found the time lapse sound of the parallel clamps being put up oddly satisfying :D
10 minute ASMR
😂😂👍
Looking good Peter, you must feel like the queen now! (Everywhere she goes' it smells of fresh paint.)
I was wondering where you were going with that tbh… 😂😂
@@10MinuteWorkshop LOL, so was I :-)
Great job Peter
Thanks Steve! 👍
Impressed how your datum for the Bessey clamp rack was the bottom of the jamb brackets and not the shelf - supreme confidence that the quickly made brackets were mill’ perfect. Pure class!
🙌👍👍
You read my mind. Just about owning enough clamps to need this. Also lots of TERRIBLE clamp storage videos on You Tube, so good to have some thought involved.
Thanks! Yes, I’ve needed to do this for a little while! 👍👍
It's better, but the previous wasn't that bad actually. You just really wanted some space for the logo. Very justified indeed!
Haha, that’s true Nico, but it’s a better use of space - and the shelf on that wall had to come down because I want to do add boxes into the cabinets at the far wall. 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop another wondrful video. Thank you. Please keep 'em coming :0)
Simple, elegant and perfect for the usage. Great example of a project that doesn't have to be over complicated.
Thank you!
Thanks! 👍
A fresh coat of paint makes everything look better. Nice job with the clamp racks 👍
Thanks! And yes, it does! 👍👍
Remember nothing in a shop is permanent.
When you think its finally finished, a new process=tools come-along.
Semi-permanent is the key.
BTW I love the double stacking.
Cheers from across the pond!
Very true! And thanks! 👍
Nothing like a make over and reorganise, nicely Tetrised into place neatly.👍🏽
One job down, 99 more to go.😉
Cheers Bill! And at least 99 more... 😂 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop
woohoo, well that's almost an assured 99 more uploads! 😉
😆😆😆😆
I've finally acquired enough clamps that they are starting to get in the way (fewer than you have). I'm casually looking for ideas for tidy clamp storage. Thanks.
Took me 20 years to sort them out properly! 😂👍
You’re certainly right about the cost of reasonable quality plywood. And have you seen the price of OSB? Now more expensive more than its equivalent in plywood! Apparently, a developer friend told me, it’s because the specification for hoarding or whatever says OSB and so, OSB it is.
Almost every workshop will have it’s own clamp storage solution and people can take whatever they can from your solution. My bugbear is clamps just hanging (as your F clamps) because, I know they will shake themselves off the shelf. That’s why mine are fitted into the keyhole type of hole in a shelf. And, because I have space, my racks all tilt back 5 degrees. Just my foible about anything falling off shelves
I'm getting a new shed delivered in Aug (was supposed to be Jul) and I'm going to have to find places for all my tools, this is a great idea for the clamps.
Thanks! 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop I've basically got a blank canvas and your channel is a box full of ideas :-)
Nice! What I'd do for a blank canvass! 😂 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Fancy a trip to East Mids. lol, only kidding.
Turned out rely tidy mate , the sign you had for makers looks great up
Thanks Dan! 👍
Filled with golden nuggets, this one :D "Grown organic", "With a blunt drill bit. Well it is now" LOL! Oh and the "Fan in a can" I have one of those things myself, and I call it my "Power to Noise Converter". Looking forward to seeing what unit you go for next. I am currently using the Power to Noise Converter and a regular indoor dust filter for the fine dust (cheapest and simplest I could find).
Cheers.
Thanks Goran! Ha! "Power to noise converter" sums it up perfectly! Not my finest purchase - though I've made worse, tbh! 🤷♂️ Still on the fence about which other one to go for - they all seem very similar in terms of performance, so I'll probably just wait and see if there's a deal going anywhere! 👍
It is a very neat solution. I do like the peanuts. Not having a peanut set, I'd consider using a long bitholder for those screws into the brickwork- you can get straight magnetic bitholders up to 18 inches long... about 6 pounds on amazon for 12 inches. A hex masonry bit in the long bitholder will do the predrilling/marking. Alternatively, there are very long sds-plus bits available. And yes, this being a Peter Millard video, it does look made to measure - as always.
Love this type of video, shop organisation is so satisfying!
More to come! 😆👍
A compelling case for the smaller peanut jig. Up until now, wasn't seeing a use case for my work. Nice.
I'm always impressed with how elegant your tracksaw is compared to a huge tablesaw. Must get one of those hinged tracks for mine - maybe you can do a diy version, now there's a project!
It’s coming! 👍👍
Looking forward to seeing this.
Good stuff Peter. But I am a wee bit nosey about the mitre saw - come back from where and why? Nosey Neighbour needs to know.👍🤣
First time I've seen that jig I see you have a few videos listed there ,that's definitely going into the next buy basket
Great jig and connector. 👍👍
Electrical tape and a plastic shopping bag under the drill holes with catch all the dust when drilling in to brick/concrete. Sorry - my inner neat freak escaped - back in his box now!
Great video! I think your festool tools and bessey clamps deserve a better workspace.
Thanks! I think my tools should feel themselves lucky to be here. 😂🤷♂️👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Haha, agreed. From a tool's point view, you are right. They will appreciate your level of skills.
Looks great. Did the same thing with my < 500mm clamps last weekend. It was an unholy mess for the last 8 years. And they multiplied too during that time.
They do! 🤷♂️👍👍
Great use of space. Another great video Peter. Thank you.
Thanks! 👍
Hi Peter, that electric cable dangling down the wall would send me more round the twist than I am already. I do like the 10 minute logo, it looks as if it just belongs there, good control of your clams, mine are all over the shop.
Those cables are all over John - they link back to my vac, so anything plugged into one of those trailing sockets triggers the vac. 👍
Looking good. No chance of a lick of white paint on the plywood brackets? That’ll make the clamps “pop” on that lovely white wall…………
Now that has made me wonder whether I need my roll around clamp rack and instead make some brackets and re-purpose the rack as a roll around tool carrier with systainer storage……. Hmmm!
Thanks again.
No, I like the look it Birch ply 👍👍
Love workshop organisation! We procrastinate for soo long. But once you get stuck in you always think to yourself, why had you not done it sooner!
Exactly Nic! 👍
Brilliant, as always, thanks Peter, hope you're well, as we say ..... can never have enough clamps!!
Cheers Paul - never too many, never enough! 🤷♂️👍
Excellent clamp rack organization. I'm currently thinking about my design and you've given me some great ideas to work with. Thanks!
Don't you just love those 'cheap as chips' SDS monster drills. Yours, like mine, looks as though it's been around the block a few times - and still going. Now off with me to get those clamps organised. Psssst!! Any chance of a video on the adapted track saw track? Thanks for all the inspiration Peter
Thanks. Yes, those old SDS drills are amazing. Soz, don't understand what you mean by the 'adapted track saw track'? 🤔
@@10MinuteWorkshop Sorry about the confusion. The track rail that is hinged on your bench - very nifty that.
Very nice! Looks much better. Great use of space!
That looks tidy and a great idea too!
Thanks Frits! 👍
Very neat and tidy. I keep all mine in a big box, but then I don't have as many long clamps or use them in a professional capacity! ;-)e
You can never have too many clamps......good job Peter. I have a large stock of blunt drills if you need any more for marking purposes !
Thanks! I have a few blunt drills of my own! 😂 👍
Love your vids Peter, you've inspired me to do some remodeling in my super-small shop.
Thanks Howard! 👍
great job! nice video!
Thanks Mark! 👍
Looks good, I think I'll do the same. Thank you ☺
Peter,. I like the use of the peanut connectors which make for a clean tight joint. I have the same SDS drill which lives under the bench most of the time and comes out now and then for fitting rawlplugs into our two feet thick stone walls!
Thanks Dawn! Yes, those old SDS drills just keep on going, amazing for the money. Like yours, it doesnt come out often, but when you need it , you need it! 👍
Gripping stuff Peter!
I don't ever recall seeing peanut connectors before!? But I'm now going to research them. So thanks also for that!
Thanks! I’ve done many videos on the peanut system and jigs - links in the description, though they may deserve their own playlist! 🤔👍👍
Ok OK! I will go and organise my workshop… you didn’t have to produce such an inspiring video to make me 😂
👍👍😂😂
Hi Pete
So simple and effective
Love you video’s mate Right off to my workshop to make some clamp holders 👍👍👍👍
Cheers Carl! 👍
Great video to watch waiting for EuroCup Quater Finals to begin(and saying to myself, someday my clamps will find a home too...) cheers...rr Normandy, Fra.
They’re coming hone, they’re coming hone, clamps are coming home…🎶🎵😂👍
Nice work, giving me some new and better ideas for my work space!
"They think it's blunt, it is now"
I wonder if someone is going to get you a couple of extra clamps just to mess with your nice new clamp shelvng....
😂 There are never enough clamp racks! 👍
when you write it it sounds like the 1966 world cup win commentary.
@@kanedNunable Exactly.
Nicely done, simple and functional!!!
That’s me! 😂😂
Have you ever thought of doing radio ? as your voice is very calming .
Thank you! I had a very brief flirtation with the idea of radio, but we failed to ‘agree terms’ as they say. 🤷♂️👍
Good job Peter! Happy belated Canada day to me as well! 🇨🇦
Thank you! 👍 🇨🇦 🙌
From the title and thumbnail I thought this was going to be a humor video :)
Very clean. Great job!
Thanks! 👍
Very neat & tidy and yes, now you have room for a proper air cleaner 😂.
Yep. 👍
Cool.
Always nice to see a cleanup job :). Personally, if I knew a wall like that was going to be used to hang and store a lot of different things, i.e. needing a lot of drilling and screwing, I would probably first install a large wooden (spruce/pine) board on it (maybe something like 20 mm or more thick). Then all the rack, hook, etc. installs would be simple screwings and no need to hammer drill for each one. The wood might even make it a bit more pleasant to look at. But I see that your wall has some obstructions on it (electrical wiring and some pipes), so, dunno.
Commercial building, so lots of surface-mounted electrics in conduit. I also like brick. 🤷♂️
No need to over complicate a storage fix. Well done 👍
Weird days where the ply costs more than the SDS. Love a good tidy of the empire of dirt
Yes! 😂
cool
When the time comes to take them off ... forgets about the peanuts .... can't find a driver bit long enough, the whole video is full of 🤬. Looks tidy as though!! 👍👍
remember when i started working as an apprentice at the cabinet shop i work at now, on of the first things i did there was build a new clamp-hanging rack :D lets just say the old "system" wasnt really up to par :P
Certainly tidied up the clamp situation, though I think you may run into a " dang, knocked those off the wall while grabbing the ones stuffed into the middle" situation. Then again, you may get yours out and ready doing glue ups rather than my method of waiting until the glue is applied and then rushing to get clamps. I'm working on that ;-)
😂 No, I do tend to get the clamps ready beforehand - though admittedly, not always the right size... 🤔 😂
Hi Peter. Have you thought of the French cleat system. Can be made to adjust to many different options to hold tools etc.
They work great on nice smooth wooden walls, not so much on uneven brickwork! 👍
Great video Peter. I wonder if you are ever going back to the '10 minute porkshow' version of your sign 😉
😂😂 It crossed my mind! 👍👍
Now the hardest part is to keep them organized!
All to more reason for each clamp type to have their own space! 👍👍
excelente trabajo y organizacion
he de crear lo mismo en mi taller
gracias
¡Gracias! Mis mejores deseos desde Londres! 👍
Cheap SDS drills have their place, good for light chiselling etc but I wouldn't use them for putting plugs in on a job, (fine for a workshop) they bounce too much and leave a nasty mess around the hole. Just my little tip.
I use them when I need to, but most of the Victorian houses I worked in you’d take the whole wall down if you went near them with an SDS. That’s my little tip. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop I know the feeling!
And *how* much wall space saved! Nice job Peter.
Thanks Dave! Yes, much more efficient use of wall space. 👍
All’s well that hangs right and tight, I say. :-).
Very True Norman! 👍
I bet you wish you had the time to do that 20 years ago 😂
What's your preference for building cabinets, the peanut connector or the domino? Great vid on the domino jig you made. Going to purchase the plans unless you manage to get them cnc soon as I would buy the jig.
You bet! 😂 I tend to default to the Domino just because I've been using it for so long I don't have to think about it, but all connectors have their places. And thanks - the flat-pack jig has hit a few snags in production (my CNC guy has gone awol) so it'll be a little while longer before my jig is available. 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop cheers might just download the plans for now then 👍
Well Done Peter. Great use of the “peanut”. Curious if you, or others, have ever used the peanut to hang something from a wall? 👍🏻
Thanks! Not 'in real life', but I did demonstrate it in the original peanut jig video. In reality though most of the walls I drill into are far too uneven to make it practical. 👍
Have you gained any new insight on how the Peanut router bit manages to make it so that the connection tightens towards the end?
I’ve had the science of it explained to be by the guy that invented it, and I still don’t fully get it. But it works, and I can accept that. 👍
Hi Peter - at 8:15 the silver pipeline in the upper right corner….is that for compressed air?🤔
John.
No, they're remnants of a previous heating system. 👍
Peter,
Great stuff, but when you buy - or are given - another clamp, you've got nowhere to put it! :-)
You know what they say - you can never have enough clamp racks! 👍
Nooice!
Hi Peter, you probably won’t see this being such an old video but I’m trying to buy some of the smaller Bessey DuoKlamps that you have in this video but can’t find them online anywhere, only the bigger versions, do you know if they are still sold? Cheers, Dave.
Old vid so no idea bout the clamps tbh. They did two series of duoklamp, the smaller ones with 65mm throat and the bigger ones with 85mm. Haven’t bought any since this vid tbh, so don’t know the current state of play. 🤷♂️👍
Nice job, and rib-tickling commentary too! but you haven't left room for more clamps, and we all know you can never have enough :-D
Very good point! 🤷♂️👍
Clamps are the bane of my life without a dedicated workshop. Hopefully I'll find a solution like this in the future. Also, when are the square enough square back in stock?
Oh wow - must be a nightmare with no workshop! Square enough will be back in stock ASAP, but have hit a bit of a supply problem right now with my CNC guy. 🤷♂️👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop sounds like a good excuse to buy your own!
Also it's amazing what you can build on a sheet of 18mm ply resting on two saw horses, got to finish building a bookcase then on to a chest of drawers 👍
Hi Peter. Would you be able to measure the length of the slot in the peanut jig that the guide fits in? And what size guide does it come with? Thanks!
Honestly, all the info you need is in the other videos I’ve done in the peanut system and jigs. From memory they take a 30mm guide bush. 👍
Hi, wondered what timber merchants you use for birch ply and MRMDF?
I use a local yard, ajferguson.co.uk - good yard, good people. I did a timber yard tour there recently, here - th-cam.com/video/fB_BXyJq8Uo/w-d-xo.html 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Thanks, I’ll have to pop down to them from sunny Slough as nothing decent locally with stock
Peter how are you getting on with your drum air cleaner after the initial disappointment and suspect customer service? Has to be a couple years ago now. Just wondering 👍🏻
Hate it. It’ll be replaced very soon. 🤷♂️👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop I thought as much. Haven’t seen it on camera since you fitted it. Cheers!
Why don't you break the wall down between your two work spaces. You will get much better organization and space. Your design is great, I would rather built a French cleat wall to reduse the amount of holes in the wall
It’s not my wall, and it’s holding up 3 floors above = not going to happen. 🤷♂️
Top! 👍👍👍🤗🇨🇭
As a matter of interest, did you ever consider getting permission to remove that dividing wall [safely etc] and do you think it would have improved anything? I can see the extra wall space is useful, but it would have been my 1st instict to open up the floorspace. Nice neat, tidy job & result btw.
Cheers Keith. No, there are 3 floors above that are being held up by that wall, and others, so no chance of removal without a steel about the same size as the wall. 🤷♂️👍
Ya just can't have too many clamps.
Hey Peter, what happened to your Kapex that you had to send it out. Problems?
Kapex of a certain age had a recall on them, it's been quite widely discussed. Mine went away 3 weeks ago, for a "2-week turnaround" repair and remedial work. 🤷♂️
8:18 - "few bits of birch ply scrap"? Like saying few bits of bit-coin scrap as you said. There is no such thing.
Hi Peter, forgive me but why have you dropped the 10 minute workshop jingle?
Steve
Hi Steve. Haven’t dropped it, it’s just having a rest! Sometimes you just need to get into the video, simple as that! 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Hi Peter, jingle or no jingle your Channel for me is still one of the best on TH-cam for being honest and informative and perhaps more importantly entertaining keep up the good work and take care
Steve
Thanks Steve! 🙌👍👍
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t LOL at “well, it is now” when you.
😆 😂
You didn't separate your metric clamps from your imperial? :D
I'll leave that to the real clamp fanatics! 😂
Kapex isn’t back yet 🤔 have l missed somepinkt ?
Kapex recall, quite widely discussed. Mine went away 3 weeks ago, for a "2-week turnaround" repair and remedial work. 🤷♂️
No, but it was widely publicised on the social things. A quick search for 'Kapex recall' will tell you all you need to know, and more, or if you have a kapex you're concerned about you can check if it's affected here - www.festool.co.uk/campaigns/microsites/retrofit#start 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop yeup missed it, fortunately mines newer. 🤪
Completely off topic but what table saw did you get
Worst purchase of last year - can’t honestly remember the make, bought used and made a huge mistake! 🤷♂️
Where is the nice jingle?
Sleeping; it'll be back soon, when fully rested. 👍
ahhh, proper brick walls not like these americans screwing stuff into studs, good chap :)
😂 👍
What's happening to your thumbnails? Today channelling Trump hugging a flag. The jig "their really out there" UFO stare. The window "time to visit the proctologist". They add an element of visual entertainment in the words of Flanders and Swan "here lives someone exciting to know". Cheers. Just in case the attempted humour is not obvious : I was going for flippant insouciance.
Hmm - ‘Trump hugging the flag’ wasn’t quite what I was going for, have to be honest! 😂😂
Good stuff Peter. But I am a wee bit nosey about the mitre saw - come back from where and why? Nosey Neighbour needs to know.👍🤣
Thanks Norman! There’s been a safety recall on earlier Kapex models - even one as old as mine! It was collected a few weeks back, and fingers crossed it’ll be back soon! 👍👍
