Simple spring clamp storage

[Handplanesandmore]

Just curious, why would you have need for a couple hundred spring clamps?

When you laminate several leg/apron blanks at the same time, you need lots of clamps on both sides of the glue-up. One leg or apron alone could easily take up 20 - 30 clamps each, depending on length.

In my example each of the sections has two end stubs that stick out 6" or so because of where I cut them.  I gave these a slight bend upward and these you can hang items without having to open the clamps.  I use these for my wooden screw clamps.

Aha, got it! Even better.

Thanks

I only have the smaller ones.  They nest really well together in a drawer in one of my tool chests. Bigger spring clamps would fit the same way, it's just that I only have a couple of them, so they are usually clamped onto an edge of something when not in use.

When you install bendable hand railing............

I never would have believed a spring clamp would give you enough clamping force no matter how close together you put them.  Good to know they will.
