The rack is made of 2×4 scraps. I made a jig to cut the slots consistently on the table saw, I have done it other ways but this seems more precise. The top rack piece is mounted to a 2×4 bracket that is mounted to the wall (sort of in a "T" configuration) in order to facilitate the bottom rack. The bottom rack is mounted directly to the wall and the slots are off-set so that the heads of the clamps on the bottom row fit between the bars of the clamps above them and also to support the bars of the clamps above. This will fit almost double the clamps in the same space. If you look at my projects, you will also notice that I built a clamp rack sometime ago, it looked like a great idea, but I don't think I would ever do it again even if I had a huge workspace. I am pretty happy with this setup (for now) and the only thing I might change is to leave a little more space between slots (even though I am perfectly happy with mine, just saying that you might want the extra space). The heads of the clamps simply sit on the racks no need to clamp them on (too much work unclamping to remove imho). Best of luck, if you have more questions or need more pictures or descriptions let me know.
