WayneMahler Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I feel your pain. Done that myself when the phone cord pulled the carrier off the shelf and into a scrap box. Heart wrenching for sure. oneleggimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I used to have that problem Travis until I started to use those baby coke bottles. This has saved me a ton of sorting hehe.

Yikes! Maybe make the pipes longer and put a pipe cap on them. I bought some saw blade tubes from Wooden Teddy bear. They are sold in sets of 12 and come with caps.. I think around $4.00 for the dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I don't want to laugh. Hey Travis, you could glue rare earth magnets in the bottom of your holders. MetalScroll and oneleggimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 here is a GOOD idea for blade storage..You will understand the "good" part after you read this post. M and M candies package some of them in tubes with caps on them. They are the perfect size for scrollsaw blades. Never have to worry about the blades falling out of them. The fact that you get to eat the M and M,s make this a GOOD idea. Dick heppnerguy oneleggimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 That's why I use plastic test tubes with lids WayneMahler and oneleggimp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Based on where the blades fell, I was able to figure out which tube they belonged to. Everything else, I put in a tube marked "Miscellaneous." oneleggimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Because I am very narrow minded (Don't start you guys!!), I only do a few kinds of projects, therefore I don't have a desire or need for the large selection of blades many of you have. I have written about this quit some time ago, but because of this article, I decided to post a picture of my blade storage. The containers are empty plastic water bottles with labels scotch taped on. The front of the "spice rack" is a scrap piece of molding I had. There is a rubber band around both the top and the bottom of each bottle. If I have a slightly used blade that I'm done with, I attach it to the outside of the bottle. When I switch blade size, I return that bottle upside down into the rack. That way, my old brain remembers what size/style blade is in the saw. You could make the rack as wide as your heart desired. jerry LarryEA, Betban, oneleggimp and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
