Brigitte,
Great tip, thank you for sharing.
I find using the pocket hole jig & screws very helpful in reducing the number of clamps I use. (See the Kreg Tool website if you are unfamiliar with them.)

Wow!! 600 clamps - When you have time I'd like to see a picture of your storage racks....

I have never got enough clamps for the job in hand. 

But here is a tip for you, bicycle inner tubes are great for clamping awkward shapes, and do not dent or mar delicate timber.
I often use them for clamping antique chairs (which I glue with Scotch glue). If needed you can always give the joints a squeeze with a sash/'f' clamp just to make sure it is fully home. The frame will be protected by the wrappings of the inner tube. 

Plus they are free if you go to your local cycle repair shop and ask for punctured tubes!

Very large jobs move faster with more clamps.  If you only have a few clamps, you spend all your time waiting for the glue to dry.  That is not time effective.  By the time the I finish with my last set of clamps, the first set has had enough time to be removed and used again.  From that point it is just a matter of cycling clamps onto new boards and taking the cured boards to the next work station.  Creates constant work and is very effective. When you do this for a living, you don't want to keep the customer waiting.

OK

Why do so many clamps ? A lesser amount.
