Hi I'm Shiraz Balolia, and I'm the CEO of Grizzly Industrial, Inc. As you guys know
I tinker in woodworking and metalworking and have a really nice shop.
If you're like me, you've got clamps all over the place: some in the drawers, some on walls, some on countertops,
some on the floor. So I figured I'd put all the clamps in some sort of a rack, a heavy duty rack,
that I can wheel to where I'm working.
So that's what this project is about. Hope you enjoy.
So what we have is two fixed casters of one end and two swivel casters so I can move it around
and then I can lock it in place. They've got the swivel casters have lots on them as well. So I
used this butcher block piece that was an extra cut off from a damaged top. I ran it through
the wide belt sander to clean it up a little bit give it a roundover slight roundover to make it
look pretty and you just saw me put the casters on there. You don't have to use a butcher block; You
can use two pieces of 3/4 inch plywood that are screwed together and that'll give you the strength
you need for the base. Next what I did is I built a little frame that's going to be screwed in I'm going to
go ahead and remove this this corner I just wanted this used to all this frame in place once I've got
this in place I will want it I got it screwed in little guys and then the plywood pieces will
get screwed into this and then on the outside I'll have angle iron pieces as double support.
I'm just temporarily putting these on and holding them together with for hands
but these little clamps, corner clamps will help me. And then I'll straighten it out when when I'm done.
The reason I have the overhang on this side is because I have these clamp
racks. These will fit perfectly in here and then on this end they'll be like this
and there might be two of them depending on what type of clamps I'm going to put in.
All righty, this is now permanently on this base we don't have to worry about
it being ripped off. It will support the whole thing on this rollaway cart.
As you can see I put in two angle iron pieces on which I put on some c-clamps. I can load this up
with smaller c-clamps and even larger c-clamps both sideways and and vertically but you don't
have to do that. You can leave these out and and leave this space use this space for earmuffs,
rulers, whatever else you'll be using in your shop. It's great having your clamps right next to you so
that you don't have to walk towards your wall or wherever you have stored and then you've forgotten
one clamp, you got to walk back again. It's really nice having the clamp rack where you are working.
