Default Jig or Ideas for making a clamp rack

It sounds like you're thinking the rack should be a shelf with notches
cut out, like the horizontal piece is all one board. why? Why not
cross cut all the pieces so that they're separate, then attach them to
the clete separately? If you're worried about strength, you could put
a piece of 1x1 across the top of all the boards to tie them together.

No, no no. It must be far, far more complicated than that. It must involve
at least every tool in the shop, preferably twice. And at least a coupla'
trips to the hardware store. And maybe two trips to the lumber yard. It
should have inlays, dovetails, wedged through tenons (with ebony wedges, of
course) and a nice mixture of stainless, brass and brushed aluminum
hardware. Finish should be french polish, nothing else will do.

Yeesh!
