Storing Blades

Does a Green Collar mean somthing special ?  Maybe you was being frocked as a Forester or something like that.  ;)  Of course, you was looking over his garden....maybe it is a step up from a green thumb.

I don't mean to butt in, but has anybody read the knowledge base or followed the link in post #5 of this thread?

I would like to know if that information is any good or just wasting space.

There are several ways to fold band blades.  It unnerves me to hear of or see someone throw one.  You might not get hurt and then, again, you might.  You are certainly risking harming the blade.   

   This is where I learned how to coil the blades, I found it very informative and helpful.

Thankyou Sawman.   smiley_clapping

Thanks Tom,

I have been able to coil them for a few years,  but I've always struggled with uncoiling them until I read this thread :D  If I keep learning stuff,  pretty soon I'll be a know-it-all ;D

You're getting DanG close to it now, Br'er Noble.  :D

I knew that :D :D :D  I  was just trying to be modest :

Many thanks, Tom.  As it is raining yet again today, and it is getting closer to time for me to change my first bandmill blade, and since I had a couple new blades in the back of the truck, thought I would take a moment and see about the 'coiling of the blade' aspect I had read about here earlier.

Uncoiling was not a problem at all, since the blade wants to uncoil, and that worked immediately and without fanfare.

Coiling it back up, though, I had to come back and look at Tom's adept photo band coiling helper.  Went back in the shop, sure enough, that was easy-breezy as well.  Once it starts proper, it wants to coil back up.

Thanks again, Tom.
