After I stopped manufacturing cage bird play toys, I decided to change over the basement to other of the shop hobbies. One of which is wood turning /pen making. In using The hard surface counter material and gluing up other material to turn pen bodies. You use a lot of the 6" spring clamps, I tried a number of things.
And then when I took down some dowels that were used to hold spools of plastic chains. I had an idea, with a short spacer over the screw I screwed them into the bottom of the floor joists. Enough distance from the bottom of the joist to slip over the clamp.
Clamp hangers in the shopHere they are in place.
Clamp hangers in the shophere is a close up of the spacer, the screw in the dowel at the end was to fix a split in the end.
It keeps the clamps handy, and yet out of the way and stored neatly. It is located overhead of the bench where I do glue ups!
