Part 1: trying to build cheap machines
Hi Lumberjocks.For about 2 months i’ve been sharing a workshop with Andrius Sta, who i met thanks to lumberjocks!We are still trying to arrange the shop, and we use eachothers tools.

Part 4: Clamp rack
I started building a clamp storage cabinet.For the Bessey’s this seems to work really well.Andrius noticed that they might stay put better facing down the other way.It’s just a small angle of about 10 degrees.Maybe a good tip for anyone with these type of Bessey clamps?
