SOTS: Simple Clamp Rack - DONE
NOTE: I have no idea where the pics went….
Gotta make more of this F-style clamp rack.
More will be added as I go.
1 1/4” holes, with sacrificial strip, to get pipe clamp storage too.
Now to work on mounting system. Clean up some stock on the alien head.
Glue and Clamp the two pieces together, then fabricate a few custom brackets for mounting the rack on the wall.
Ah, that’s better!

I do mine sticking out into the shop since I have more clamps than wall-space. But definitely need more storage.
May you have the day you deserve!
That's some piece of machinery there Smitty.
The Craftsman Alien Head Planer? It’s an oldie but a goodie! Perfect for stock 6” wide or less, does a nice job.

I’ve got mine stuck up on some metal shelving. I needed “quick”

Yup never seen one of those planers before. Looks like there's not a lot of snipe
Nicely done for storage, and a cool planner.
