Arts and Crafts Style Bar Clamp Rack

I recently completed this rack to hold my parallel bar clamps.

I try and avoid creating mundane objects, even if they are just for the shop. In this case, the rack is constructed from Baltic birch, but I added some curves and decorative elements to give it an arts and crafts look.

All the joinery is accomplished with my Domino (6mm and 10mm dominos), but at glue-up time I still had to deal with 28 joints at once – fun time, but fortunately successful.

And here’s the rack mounted on the wall, with my current stash of clamps
