Do you keep your table saw blades on a nail on the wall? Or worse, stacked on top of each other in a drawer? My understanding is that your #1 goal in storage should be not letting the teeth touch each other… from there the storage ideas really start to run wild ;)
A WoodNet thread on table saw blade storage caught my eye and if you’re looking for ideas + pictures then you HAVE to go look at: How do you guys store your blades?
Here’s some nice dry humor from that WoodNet thread: “I used to let Forrest store my Woodworker II, but then I finally got a Grizzly contractor saw to store it in. Much handier.”
You should definitely go check that out as there are great pictures posted there.
I dug around for ideas at other forums too…>>
Here’s a thread from Rigid: Blade Storage where you’ll find some great ideas along with some, um, creative ideas: “I toss mine ninja-style at the wall and just let them stick in the drywall. Easy access to whichever I need.”
The LumberJocks give us: Saw Blade Holder You’ll find rough plans and build-pics there too. Very useful!

Also from LumberJocks: Storage for 10″ saw blades ideas? This is where I saw the Saw Jaw. Good suggestions here too.
Portable table saw blade holder And from an Australian woodworking forum we find a brief-case style table saw blade storage solution for the professional woodworker on the go ;)
Saw-Blade Selector And if you really want to pamper your saw blades you can try building the saw blade selector from Wood Magazine.
