New Pipe Clamp Home

[glenn bradley]

New home, not new clamps ;-) I'm still dragging the last few things in from the garage. When you need a pipe clamp, you want a pipe clamp. The rest of the time mine are usually tucked out of site; a rack behind a tool box, behind a door, whatever. For the new shop I want to take advantage of the taller walls for seldom used items. These racks are simple and take up little room.

I decide on the blank's dimensions and lay out for the "arms". I drill 1-1/8" holes for 3/4" pipe clamps.


I gang the four blanks to saw out the space between the arms.


I glue and screw vertical cleats up opposing sides of the blanks . . . sorry, no pics ;-(
.
The racks hold 2 clamps on each arm. This is one pair. The other pair will probably go over the double doors. Then I can gather all the pipe clamps from hither and yon and bring them "home".

I only have a dozen of so pipe clamps. The second set of racks took care of the balance and some of the other seldom used, but "glad to have 'em", clamps.

I assume these have a slight upward angled slot to keep them in there when the earth shakes out there?

Thanks Darren. I should've mentioned that. The angle is 5 degrees. This may be excessive in some parts of the country but I live in earthquake territory.
