Clamp Wall Project

What do you do about storing 250 diverse types of clamps used by 24 Furniture Design Program students? The Sam Beauford Woodshop was growing driving the need for more woodworking clamps. Our goal was to store all the needed clamps in as little space as possible, keep the storage system flexible and organize it so students would be able to quickly find their needed clamp.

A Veteran's Woodworking Journey

Ever since I was a kid I had an interest in woodworking. But my family never really had woodworking tools so I couldn't possibly learn at home. When I got to high school I jumped at the opportunity to take Woodshop where I did learn about some of the basics of woodworking, but I was more concerned with the social constructs of school than I was of truly committing myself to the craft of woodworking.

Why Woodworking?

The thought of retirement was very scary to me because I was defined mostly by my job. Sure, I was a husband and a father, but most of my time was spent being an engineer and/or project manager.
