LeeValley Veritas Speed clamps

[knuttle]

I have several sets of the LeeValley Veritas Speed clamps, plus
additional rods. they are a pain to store, but the best clamps for my use.

In line with the previous thread about storage, has any one came up with
a unique way of storing them.

I have been using them of several decades and fighting to keep them neat
when stored. I have tried many solutions, but each has strong negatives.

Do you have a basement? If so nail a couple of boards to the
underside of the joists or to the ceiling if finished, and clamp the
clamp to them (note to those who wonder why the boards--look at the
clamp, it would need four corners).

If you have multiples then make something layered like an upside-down
pyramid--just don't grow it down far enough for the rods to become a
hazard.

Alternatively, make a box for them.

For those unfamiliar with this type of clamp. They consist of 4 corner
blocks with a hole on one leg and a threaded hole on the other. There
are 4 rod that connect the corner blocks. Assember there is a thumb
screw the tightens the clams around the piece. In addition there are 4
rod bolts, and 4 additional rods to expand the clamp to 6'. To
supplement this I have cut a couple of rods in 9" section to give me
more versatility in sizing the clamp.

Each "simple" clamp consist of near 30 pieces. I have atleast 4 sets
of clamps. Storage consist of long rods short rods and small pieces.
Some parts can be stored assembled but still there are parts

Assuming you are NOT disassembling after each use, what about a 1x4
mounted to the wall and then a couple of lag screws coming out from the
1x4 to hang the sets of clamps on. Stack several on each set of screws.

...with a box hanging off the bottom (or top) for the small parts. Keep the box below
eye level for ease of use.
