Organizing the shop and lots of clamp storage ideas

One thing leads to another as I organize my shop. It really just started by wanting some clamp storage racks. That got me to make a new lumber storage rack, which inspired me to go through my wood hoard. Now I have a bunch of wood in my driveway I need to get rid of.
The clearing of excess lumber got me to clean out a bunch of other junk under my workbench. Mostly, a large pile of towels that have been doing nothing but collecting sawdust for a couple years. When my wife buys new towels for the house, the old ones become shop towels. And shop towels are not like clamps: you can definitely have too many.
Now I have seemingly tons of extra space in my shop. Im going to give this all some thought before I start slapping up shelves willy-nilly. Need to fully examine the long-term implications.

Thirteen-year-old Connor DeWald (so close to DeWalt!) began organizing his clamps with this DIY rack. Connor sent me over a shop tour, BTW. Great looking shop in the making.

Looking for a simple clamp storage solution? Check out Dallas Diehls system. PVC pipes! This make a lot of sense.

And just in case youve been wanting to buy some green clamps and having a hard time finding any, it appears Michael Calhoun bought them all.

But you wont need to buy any clamps at all if you make your own. Here are Dave Rutans homemade bar clamps and awesome fold-up storage system. Check out the full story here.

Tomas Johansson shows how clamp storage is done in Sweden. Well, at least in his shop. Very organized!

Quarto!

Lest you think people have stopped making Quarto games, heres Ibrahim Al Abdulaalys all-in-one board with storage. He made it using an old Ikea bench!

Patrick J. ORourkemade this version with oak and walnut pieces (love the shaping on those pieces) and used a glass cutting board for the game surface. Clever!
