I am going to build a rolling box to store my Bessy clamps. Basically a 3/=
4" plywood box with channels-compartments in it to lower the red Bessy clam=
ps into from the top. Clamps will stand up in rows. Easy and will work we=
ll. And roll.
Now the problem will all the other clamps. They do not have a uniform size=
like the red Bessy. Below is the list of clamps for reference. I've thou=
ght about a box, but none of the other clamps stand up. They need to lean =
or hang from something. I want it to roll like the Bessy clamp box. I wou=
ld love the clamps to be in nice neat rows. How have others stored the oth=
er clamps?
Other clamps needing storage:
1. Pony pipe clamps 3-4-5 foot lengths 9 quantity
2. Quik Grip black plastic clamps with big black hand squeeze grip and yel=
low plastic clamps pads 2-3-4 foot lengths 12 quantity
3. Pony steel F clamps that look like an orange P or F with chrome leg and=
tan wood handle. 40 and 16 inch lengths 10 quantity
4. Record steel F clamps that work the same as the Pony but are much heavi=
er and stouter. Chrome steel swiveling handle. 7 quantity
What kind of a rolling clamp storage to build for all these other non unifo=
rm not easily stored or stacked clamps?

Consider both up and down.
you can fit twice the amount of clamps.

If yo look in the back ground you will see the clamp rack I built about
8 years ago. It is double sided. I holds 22 K-body style clamps on the
side you see.

IIRC Swingman has this rack, the one you have. My design does the same
with the clamps handles and ends at the top. BUT I can simply grab the
handle of which ever clamp I want with one hand and open it right up.
I never cared about hooking the clamp on a bar using it's handle.
Mine are packed as densely as yours.

Thanks. But the pictures you and Rockler provided are enough. The concept=
is pretty simple. A triangle with some bars across the faces to hold the =
clamps. I just need to figure out how to hook or hold the various clamps I=
have. That is just looking at the clamp and figuring out how it will stay=
attached.
Going with my box idea for the Bessy clamps. I like the idea of them stand=
ing up all in one box.

Y'all be careful, Leon has individual, teeny little foot warmers for his
clamp's little feet. ;)
IIRC, SWMBO gave me mine (Rockler?) years back, the design suits my
space and never saw a need to change:
