Default blade storage

I have 5 ?/?, 7 1/4, 8 1/4, 10 and 12 inch circular saw blades, the largest number being the 10" (I'm guessing that I have maybe 20 of this size alone). I have some here some there, in boxes, laying on the woorbench, in the case the tool came in, on a shelf......... This is not to mention dado blades.......

Does anyone have any storage system that they have that they really like? I'm leaning towards "diy" so plans/pictures/1000 word descriptions would help.

All the sizes do not have to be stored together in fact If I had something to just store the 10" blades I would be happy.

Ed,

You can send them to me for storage.... of course I'm assuming you won't mind me using them a little while I look after them :~)

I found this in a magazine -- don't remember which one at the moment. Will look it up if it interests you. Made from scraps laying around in the shed.

Ed, I saw a plan that was simple enough, and would take any size blade. A simple frame with the sides having grooves cut at 45 degrees and spaced about an inch apart. The top and bottom ends wide enough to support the smallest blade. Mount this on the wall with the largest diameter blades on top working down to the smallest. 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!

I like the look of this, the blades are protected and yet you can see which one is which....... yes this idea is in the running. If you happen to find the information let me know but if you don't I think I can build one based on the picture.

Thanks

Ed

I have that plan somewhere in my stacks of woodn't it be nice to make of of these piles. I starting to think I will need more then one storage solution, this would be nice for the favoites (or most used) and the stacked dado. Let us know how yours turns out.

What about turning this design on it's side? I have seen Kitchen designs where plates are held in a vertical position. Perhaps if it was on it's side it would be easier to expand as you buy more blades.
