Storing Bandsaw Blades

[Sam Murdoch]

A cabinet with vertical dividers - 1/4" panels set an inch or 2 apart with scoop on the leading edge. I don't think a folded blade will deform sitting on edge. If that is a concern space 1/2" thick panels further apart and set the blade(s) on hooks mounted to the panels. All will be behind a closed door, with maybe an open shelf or drawer under the blade shelf for accessories.

I’d focus that OCD energy on something more productive. My vote: coil them up so they’re smaller and put them behind something, such a small your bandsaw. Making a drawer for each blade sounds like way to much work for something that hangs perfectly on a nail.

[Ted Phillips]

I hang mine on a nail. In a rafter in the ceiling. In my shed...

How about this?

So, this guy moved his blades from a handy nail on the wall to a drawer that he can't reach without a step stool. He solved a problem that didn't exist, with a solution that makes things worse. Brilliant!

I liked his folding hinge design..
Mine hang on a hook, and I'm pretty OCD.

Oh, I'm at least borderline OCD myself. It manifests itself, especially, in saving steps. I'm an old guy, tending toward laziness.

I worked out that if I converted from being messy and became OCD I could find things and save myself a heap of time.

My coiled bandsaw blades are sprung between the studs in the wall of my shop. No need for hangars or anything complicated.

So if he was taller would that change your opinion of his solution?

Here's the caddy I made for the back of my Felder. I hang my folded blades there:

I leave mine uncoiled and hanging on a wall. The spring energy and chance of injury when coiling a 10'+ long blade that is 3/4" wide makes me nervous. No fun getting hit by one that unexpectedly uncoils or slips from the hand.

Now that is clever and I like clever.

I built a storage box for my saw blades when I had a 14" saw. I built a similar one for sand paper storage.
