Workshop Tip: Store Pipe Clamps Under Your Workbench
Storing my 4-ft. pipe clamps, as well as the extra lengths of 4-ft. pipe I use as extenders, has always been a problem. Putting them up high makes them difficult to access. Leaning them against something is risky.
Storing my 4-ft. pipe clamps, as well as the extra lengths of 4-ft. pipe I use as extenders, has always been a problem. Putting them up high makes them difficult to access. Leaning them against something is risky. Instead I store a row of them under my workbench, which keeps them out of the way yet fully accessible, makes use of wasted space, adds weight and stability to the bench, and creates an additional shelf that comes in handy sometimes. all it takes is a couple of scrap boards screwed to the inside of the legs, with a row of 1-in. holes in each one. you could drill two rows of holes if you have more pipe clamps. Quick, easy, and effective.
