I only have a few handscrew clamps mostly use bar clamps but that is what it I do basically same as you just clamp them to a shelf end or anything that out of the way

 

There is a method for storing the wooden hand screw clamps in this article - if you have open studs, you can modify what's shown to just having the projecting post screwed to the side of the stud rather than having the mounting flange in the back. For (4) clamps, the amount sticking out is probably going to be about the same as your present method but you won't have to tighten and then loosen when you're using them.

 

I'm liking the #5 in the photo . Going to use it for sure , thanks Tom

 

I clamp mine to the ceiling/floor joists all it takes is one twist to get them on or off.

 

Geez I'd be wearing a hard hat :|

 

Smitty, Here is a quick thought. And I also have it in a Sketchup file if interested, But since Router Forum WON'T ACCEPT SKP Files I would have to zip it.

 

The cleat/handle allows it to be cleated to a wall or used as handles to carry it. As drawn it will hold up to 5 large clamps and has a gap to allow dust to fall thru.

 

Here is the sketchup file in zip form

 

I only have four of these, So I lay them horizontally on a dedicated shelf. They are all laid on the same side so they can overlap. Wall space is nice, but I don't use them often enough to use that precious commodity for that kind of clamp. The shelf is only 6 inches wide and runs between two much wider shelves. Out of the way, but still handy.

 

thank you all

Thanks you to all who replied.

Gary I like that idea of the holder/caddy. It should make transport & storage easier.
Now if only my ##!!%% computer will let me open the zip file!!
Will have to investigate the dark inner workings of a laptop ( on second thought) just open it on the desktop!!! Genius that I am.

Again thank you all.

Stick, Things would be simpler to be able to upload a skp file directly!

 

I know...
I believe that's falls back on the IT department to set up the .skp format/file acceptance on the forum.......
@Cricket...

 

Let me check on this.

Please try again now so I can see if file size limits need to be adjusted or not.
