he puts end caps on the pipe to protect the threads from something


End caps are to prevent the pipes from sliding off the ends. End caps stick up about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.



but to me it is somehwat of a fail

over engineered and it is not made of wood


Over engineered to screw some flanges to the floor beams and screw some pipes into the flanges? Seems very simple and easy to me. All of your woodworking machines are made of metal. Are you a worthless loser of a woodworker because of it? The clamps aren't wood either. Metal clamps should be stored on metal pipes.


a few scraps and the same solution could be made


I don't like it because the clamps aren't easily available. They are up high. Hard to reach. And getting some of the inside ones is not easy. Do you have to remove all the outside ones to get the ones on the inside? Or monkey around and try to knock the one interior clamp up 6 inches to try to get it out? Just not as easy as having them all in a line leaning against a wall.


I don't like it because the clamp yo always want will be mixed somewhere
the outer most clamp.

My Set up. Dense and no clamps blocking any other clamps.

Did you use Dominoes to attach the blocks? ;-)

My wall mounted rack is similar to yours, except that I cut "teeth" into
a long board instead of attaching individual blocks.
