All blades have their teeth showing for rapid identification. I think this was a Shopnotes tip. I know I need to make one and I guess it will be todays project!

Expanding on that thought (quick and easy) what if you set the depth on a miter saw tilted to a 45 to leave 3/8" uncut and cut a 2x6 at your 1" intervals. This would leave a rounded pocket for your blade to sit in and 2 x 5 1/2" of support. 2 screws in a stud over your work bench and you are done!

Small kids with tough hands could hang off of that one.

It has been a while since I got thinking about this project but it is under way. I actually started last fall before the cold weather set in and closed my shop for the season.

Rather then go into a lot of details just look at the pictures..... no it's not done yet but it is on the way.

I suppose I don't see any point in saving old dead blades either, but I do keep several types for my miter saw (don't have a table saw) - rough cut (60), medium (80) and fine (120) - so it works for me - same with the circular saw. Good blades aren't cheap in my book. Besides, it's another thing to build that has a purpose to boot!

I don't save old blades either... not even to make a clock out of.

I do however have some blades designed for miter boxes, some for table saws, and two arbor sizes. I also have some general purpose blades and some I only use when doing fine woodworking... I also have regular thickness blades and thin kerf ones, rip blades and glue line rip blades... I have a couple of spare blades just-in-case and how can resist a great sale price???

For me this is about 15 or so blades hence the design of the box for 18... I also have some 12" blades for the other miter box and some 8-1/4 for the other one and then if we get into the circular saws (three sizes of those) I might have a total of 25 blades but that is another story.

I gotta agree... it looks good and appears to work great for blade storage. I take it that no one sharpens their rougher cutting blades?

I don't but I do recall the days when I made a board to hold the old steel blades and file them to the same length, use a hammer and nail set to reset them and then touch them up with a file. Got a lot of extra life out of the blades that way but that was then and now is now.

Do you sharpen yours and if so how?

Yes I do. Very much like how you described except I do it on those rainy days with lots of time and patience. However, if I have any of the tungsten/carbide tipped blades, then no. Too much of a risk with those blades. Call me cheap but, if I can get extra use out of the blades then I'm going to do it. I also cut them up into shim pieces. Just a matter of locating the hole(s) for the fasteners, predrill. Doubles the use.
