haha, Jared (DIY Minded) dragged me back into woodworking almost 20 years ago. He gave me tools, a job doing remodeling and has been an excellent source of advice. I'm lucky to have him in my life.
Thanks for your idea! I made a single row clamp rack (using two pipes) and it fits all my clamps perfectly in a small space in my shop. I wish I could share the picture I took of it for you!
Email it to me! I'd really like to see it...I'll even host it on my website and post it on the video and pin it for others to see. mail@makethingswithrob.com
One of those 'smack my head, why didn't I think of that' moments! Make rails from conduit to hang them all on, in layers no less! Also, I kinda love the splines instead of screws, for an easy way (assuming one has the spline jig) to achieve near-dowel corner strength. I think I'd make something nicer out of that baltic birch than a shop clamp rack backer, and maybe go with something rougher from the scrap bin (or the neighbor's dog house), but to each his own! Yours looks great!
Your vids just go from strength to strength Rob. To make such a watchable vid about something so straight-forward as clamp storage shows genuinely original thinking and imagination. And the remarks about personalizing your own workshop and taking time to enjoy what you've made are an inspiration. Good for you mate, well said. And on a final note, I found the Easter images and church bell sounds uplifting and liberating. Thanks for that.
Ah Mark, you always find a way to bring a smile to my face...thank you so much. I honestly feel the same way about your videos. Each and every one of them are uplifting to me. If I had the money, I'd take a trip out to your nook of the world and introduce my family to yours. You're such a fun person Mark.
@@MakeThings That's very kind and you'd be made welcome. But save your money - I'm actually very boring in person. Ask the Nice Lady from the Hardware Store, she'll give you a full and frank description...
Usually you get 3/4 through the project and then you say but wait I've got another idea. I waited until this video ended all the time thinking " how is he going to spiff this up" and surprise nope so I'd guess you don't want to tweak perfection. This is a very interesting build and I like the idea of using conduit tubing and the artistic design
Haha, thanks Alan! This isn't my first one...one other one I made before this was a dismal failure...which made me crack down on distancing the tubing just right.
That tip with carpet tape was genius. I bought some double sided tape here awhile back n it is expensive for amount u get.. I bet carpet tape isn't as expensive.
@@MakeThings yep when you was telling how much you paid for the conduit I thought gee wiz that kinda expensive then as I thought about it I remembered buying a 1 inch dowel over a year ago I remembered how much I paid for a 3 ft wooden dowel. Then I counted up how many wooden dowel I would have to buy to make that rack. Conduit is the bomb.
Dave Martin exactly! It’s a great way to save money....AND you’re not limited to the 36” length. For example, each of the lengths I used were 20” conduit. With a 120” full length of conduit, I was able to break it up easily into the lengths I needed. As for 1” dowels, I have never seen a 10’ dowel. If I’m buying them in 3’ lengths, I’d have to waste 16” on each dowel. Since I used 5 20” lengths, that would be a loss of 320” or 6 and a half inches of segmented lengths of dowels.
@@MakeThings yep exactly about wooden dowels. FYI. However I have seen longer wooden dowels than 3 ft. They will b in the section of coat closet rod kits. N come in kit form with all the extra accessories to hang the rod--- an they not cheap😵 compared to conduit.
Great video as always Rob and awesome creativity to the clamp storage solution. I hate to add this however.... I am suffering for KDS......Knob Deficiency Syndrome. LOL We need some more Knob Videos Rob!!!!!!!
Great project. I've been looking for a small clamp rack design that was fucntional and did not take up to much room. This idea is great, You can make it small then make it larger later as you add clamps, clamps , clamps and more clamps. As they say you can never have to many clamps. Storing them has always been a problem. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great project! Thanks for sharing it with us. Nice to see the old Tupperware pastry sheet still in use on your glue up bench. My mum has one somewhere and in being that's where you got yours! :-)
I've been following you for a while but never watched this until I watched your short today (Nov 2022) I love the idea of putting character into something you make. The feeling of using something you made is awesome! Flourishes are a great way to get even more enjoyment! Thanks for the thoughts!
@@MakeThings I know, it's been a while... But I'm glad to see you are killing it atm, I'm so happy that your channel has gained so much momentum in the past six months.
Pretty beautiful job, dude! It really looks amazing! 😃 I'm most certainly going to make something like that when my space is ready! 😃 Oh, and I just subscribed! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You don't see too many clamp racks where they use the handle like this. I made mine with some leftover hardwood flooring with spacers and it was quick and easy. Holds a lot of clamps and you don't have to worry about them falling off like a lot of the racks you see on youtube. What kind of clamps are those?
I forgot to make a technical enquiry - what is the blade tension on your bandsaw? Do you find yourself adjusting (by which I mean 'fiddling about with') it a lot?
I use to fight long and hard with that bandsaw...and it really is only good for cutting curves in my opinion. I went through so many blade tensioners to find out they had given me a crooked aluminum wheel...or maybe I bent it by trying to straighten the saw out? I actually went to a far simpler system, eliminating both the upper and lower guides on the saw. I went with a Carter saw blade stabilizer before I even started making youtube videos: www.carterproducts.com/band-saw-products/band-saw-stabilizer Unfortunately, there are many different models...and you have to find a one that fits your bandsaw. Now I honestly don't touch it.
Great Video. Thanks for the gift, it will be hanging in my shop soon!
Gift??????? Rob is the interweb Santa Clause??? I must have been a bad boy this year, cuz no gift for me LOL
haha, Jared (DIY Minded) dragged me back into woodworking almost 20 years ago. He gave me tools, a job doing remodeling and has been an excellent source of advice. I'm lucky to have him in my life.
its nice to see someone on YT using real world tools, doing real world projects, on a real world budget..... thanks for keepin' it real... ;)
You bet!
Nice looking and very practice solution!
Probably the most logical clamp rack I’ve seen and could be just about any size
Definitely!

Thank you so much! Yeah, trying to keep it in a budget as I know a lot of woodworkers that start out would rather put that money in machines.

Thanks now I gotta redo all my clamp racks as soon as stay at home is over. LOL nice rack
Thanks Richard!
I think I finally found a clamp rack idea that’ll work for me. Thanks, man!
Great clamp rack! Love the attention to detail & that scroll work on the edges... 👍👍😉😉
Thanks! 👍
That's a cool clamp rack and it works great.
Great job on the clamp rack Rob! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
Thanks buddy!
Your very welcome Rob! Have a awesome week!😎
And you keep putting out those beautiful nature videos!
lol Ok will do :) Have a great week!😎
Great video as always Rob and awesome creativity to the clamp storage solution.

Haha, thanks Kevin. I'm going to have to slip one in just to satisfy the masses 😜
I have been struggling with this very problem. Great solution! Thanks for another great video and idea for my shop.
Glad to help Mark!
I've been meaning to make one of these since I saw it last year! Today is the day!
I don't save many videos for ideas but this is definitely one of them. Great idea, great execution.
Thank you very much! Send me a picture if you make one!
Yet again a fabulous build - from conception to execution. Thank you so much and please continue doing what you flawlessly do.
Mitch, thank you, that means so much to me. Thank you for always watching...it makes this whole thing worth doing!
This is great, and the clip clamp storage addition is genius.

Great looking clamp rack, Rob! I already have a bunch of that conduit and I've been looking for a new rack idea. Thanks!
Billy
Thanks Billy, I'd love to see it if you make one!
Surprised you don’t have more of a following yet! Great video, good presentation. You gotta be on the up and up!
Thanks Matt!
Cool project Rob. I like that you explain why you make design and build decisions
Thanks Dave!
I’m looking for ideas for this & you popped up, sort of what I’m thinking of in a way, cheers buddy 🎥🔨👍
This has to be my next priority build. Thank you for all the inspiration.
Great project! Thanks for sharing it with us. Nice to see the old Tupperware pastry sheet still in use on your glue up bench. My mum has one somewhere and in being that's where you got yours! :-)
I love that pastry sheet...I'm not always good about cleaning it off, but when I do it doesn't take hardly anything to do it. Appreciate it Jason!

Do you have plans for this? love this clamp rack. my favorite of the hundreds i've seen. definitely going to make this
Great project Rob. You have a lot of clamps. My collection isn’t nearly that big and they don’t match either.
Harbor Freight might be cheap...but those clamps work really well Don. Thank you for watching!
Make Things good to know. Maybe I’ll try some. I really like the Jorgesen Pony f clamps I have.
LOVE IT ROB!
Hope you and your family are well.
Thanks Matthew, I appreciate it! Kids are driving me nuts a bit, but that's not too abnormal!
awesome clamp rack very simple too
Thanks Jennifer!
That's an awesome clamp rack! I wish i had that many clamps #jealous
Love your channel my, friend. Great shop project.
Thanks for sharing, Felix!
Thanks a lot! You've been wandering through my videos...I appreciate all the kind words Felix!
Thank You well done always something to learn
Nice build!
Thanks!
That was exactly what I needed.. Already have a prototype hanging on the shop.. And it's great!!
Like this video a lot. Nice job.
Thank you very much!
Great looking project will fit on a French cleat wall??
Pretty beautiful job, dude! It really looks amazing! 😃
I'm most certainly going to make something like that when my space is ready! 😃
Oh, and I just subscribed! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you, you as well! Let me know if you make something similar to it, I love seeing people make my projects.
And a Vulcan salute! 🖖🖖

Good idea!
Vary Nice. May build one for myself soon.
You should!

This project was kinda great! Who are the two that gave it a thumbs down?
Thank you!
Thanks for useful tips and detailed information.
GREAT IDEA FOR MY F CLAMPS THANKS!!!
Cool rack, as long as we can get those mongrel clamps outta the way in an orderly manner
We've got to tame the clutter those pesky clamp varmints create! 🤠

Thanks Rob. It never occurred to me that there might be after-sales upgrades for a bandsaw. I'll have a good look at this product. Thanks again.
Nice viideo. Good clamp holder design. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thanks for watching (as always!)
Amazing!
This would also work with French Cleats. Moving it fully loaded would require super hero strength...
That's a good lookin' rack Rob Brook Shields would be proud 😉. p.s. do you mean bobbin sander? 🤣
😂
Yeah, that's the one! It also has a fantAWSTic chip extractor as well.
😜
NIce design
Thanks a lot!
I dig it 👍
What size EMT conduit did you use ? it looks like 1"
Sorry, yep, 1” conduit.
👍 👍 👍
it looks cool , actualy fantastic before you start ,, personalized," then you lost my sympathy, but over all it is great idea. P
$11 for a piece of conduit? Where tf do you live lol
Indiana? How much is it there?
@@MakeThings $3 for 1/2" emt and $5 for 3/4
This is 1” EMT, 10’.
But your prices for both 3/4” and 1/2”, provided they’re 10’ long, are about what I pay.
