folding a bandsaw blade into 5 rings

[David Romano]

Rather than jack the recent post on this, I'll start a new one. How do you fold a blade into 5 rings? I have 142 inch blades that won't fit nicely into my Rockler blade cleaning tub.

Fold it into 3 rings first.

Then grab 2 of the rings in one hand...coil them up tighter to give you 2 small rings and one larger ring.

Now fold as if you were doing the 3 ring fold again...viola...5 rings. :)
