|  Blade storage - first post Hi from a newbie. I just joined today and thought I would share my version of blade storage I made for my Dewalt. A friend shared a link for plastic bottles for storing things http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1367nother so I ordered some (30 of them for $15 bucks) and made a quick storage rack. I used a piece of 1X6 and drilled holes for the tubes (they have a lip towards the top that keeps them from going all the way through) The scroll saw stand flares out at the front so one row is shorter than the other so the tubes will clear underneath. I drilled a hole in one corner and inserted a nylon bushing. I replaced the front mounting bolt on the stand with a longer bolt. I put additional nuts with washers on either side of the board, filled the tubes with my blades and called it good. I can swivel it out when needed then swing it back when I'm done. I will print some clear, peel and stick labels (Avery inkjet labels) to label each tube. Looking forward to learning a lot from everyone. Thanks for looking.

 | Wow, you jumped right in here, and with a very nice blade storage idea, welcome aboard. Now, is that a shop, or a showroom? There sure doesnt seem to be much sawdust there!!! Do you prefer sawing with your table flat? I notice you dont have that section on the bottom of the back leg tilting the saw forward, which I have found much more comfortable for sawing. Dale |

| Thanks Thanks for the reply. It is a new shop and I swept up before the "photo shoot". I have always felt it more comfortable for me to have the table flat rather than tilted forward. Just a quirk I guess. Thanks. |

| Welcome, Great idea on blade storage would you mind sharing your tube source? I have a variety of tubes from different suppliers, the ones you used seem more rugged.

| Yea Welcome to the forum. Good work on the storage system. Only problem is, your work shop is to darn clean. Now I have to go out and clean mine, makes me feel bad.  Just kidding. Looks like we will get a lot of good ideas from you in the future. And you might pick up a few also.

| Waltn - Thanks for the great idea. I'm sure this will help many of us. Welcome to the group. As others said, you need a little dust, dirt, and clutter in that shop. Hal - Woodenfish |

| Great looking blade storage. I don't personally use that many different types of blades. I just use the 5" medicine bottles from Right Aid. You can buy them right at the pharmacy for a quarter, and they come with a nice child proof lid, but not adult proof like some lids are these days!

| Link Sorry about the link. I thought it took you right to the product. If you click on the link and when the site opens, click on "best sellers" on the left of the page. You will see listed "baby soda bottles" and that is what I used. These are originally made to be placed in a heated mold, filled with very hot air, expanded to 4 times their size and become the large plastic soda bottles we buy in the store. Hence the name "baby soda bottles". They are very hard, thick plastic and work great for a lot of different things. |
