Yet another of my "Not in the same league as most everything else in this thread" ...
Like everyone else I've accumulated a large number of clamps and locking pliers over the years. They seem to have gravitated to the top of one of the tool boxes proving that chaos [not the theory, the traditional definition 'lacking any order' ... is alive and well in the garage.
For years I wanted to put them under the welding table but that would suggest that I actually had finished the welding table rather than the 50% done thing I use for welding. The next best thing I could think of was a "doesn't have anything on it" spot on the wall ...
A quick trip to the basement for some 1/4 inch all thread, some washers and nylon locking nuts, a really long drill bit to go thru the 3 1/2 2x4 and the shelf plus a 5 foot piece of 1/2 galvanized pipe left over from some other project and this is what I ended up with ...
Shortly thereafter the top of the tool box looked much better and actually can be used for something useful ...
... and the wall now has now evolved to resemble something a little more orderly
As I say, nowhere near what you guys are doing but at least it is made me feel I had made progress in the garage.
