I used the tubes for organization when I started, now I use the tubes for saw dust, one tube per species 

I leave the blades in the pack they come in, unwrapped and with the tiny wire off of them.  The pack lays on the saw sub table I built

A really good use of saw dust! I need to do that also. Comes in handy when cutting hardwoods especially. Even if I don't cut much inlay.

I used to keep blades in a tube system, but I realized that I only use 3 types of blades. I took all of my extra odds and ends blades to my school shop for students to use. (many kids don't notice/care about blade type, they just like to cut)

Now I keep my blades in the baggy they come in, stored in a little pencil drawer on my workbench. I take a few blades out when I cut and place them on a butter dish with a magnet on it. They look pretty and I can't loose them.

I use a holder made from a Steve Good design. It works great for holding the tubes. I will never use all the different types of blades bought before knowing what works best.

Nice looking racks.

Nice display.  I got rid of my blades that I will never use.  Like you I had so many from trying to find that elusive goto blade.

I use one of those boxes that have the little drawers that are meant to be used for nuts and bolts etc.  I have each drawer labeled, starting on top - smallest to biggest.  It sits on a shelf right beside my saw so there's no reaching to get a new blade.  Works for me.
