Clamp storage

Would something like this work? Or something similar, perhaps made from PVC. Add a shelf/box for the corner blocks.

Yes!

As per size it is a little over kill. You would be surprised how many

I will think about that.

That is specifically why I said "something like this". ;-)

Seems like a single or a couple of 4" PVC pipes is all you need. Make a base to stand them vertical or lay them horizontal, maybe up in a joist bay.

Something like this perhaps:

I had thought of the 4" pipe, but unless I store the end blocks separately they get tangled when the blocks and rods are stored together.

Do you have a picture of or link to these types of clamps?

I make a lot of picture frames and stretchers, so mine gets a lot of use.

When not in use they store as rods or rods with the corner blocks. However with the corner blocks they tend to tangle.

I have used them of some fairly large items like a bed frame.

In my opinion they give much better control of the gluing process than other types of clamps as by adjusting the nuts on each corner you can coax the mitered corners to perfect alignment.

Can you hang them like I do mime?

Or use smaller PVC, one rod per pipe:

Wrong type clamp.

IF he got his where I got mine (Penn State) I know what he is talking about and have just hung mine on nails along the wall. But then I only have two and almost never use them.

I know that. He posted a link to his style of clamp:

It was the hanging/storage method that I was trying to show, not the clamp types.

wrap them around something geometric that is already in the shop

or make such a protrusion from the wall and place it around that using concentric pattern for smaller sizes
