How to uncoil saw blades without dying

[opticsguy]

This is a very simple and SAFE SAFE SAFE method:   Walk out to your grassy lawn or other similar area. 
Toss the coiled blade about 20 feet away from you while WEARING Gloves!!!
Then walk over and pickup the blade.  
SIMPLE - SAFE
Did I mention SAFE???

Safer yet is to never coil blades. But, still, you'd better watch out when you separate one from the flat stack. My Cook's 1 1/2 x .055 blades are very stiff, so I don't coil them.

I used to just throw them into the sawdust pile until a couple of years ago when the blade somehow found a rock through all the sawdust  And it 
broke the tips off a half dozen teeth. After that I learnt how to uncoil by hand 8)

I bought a 10 pack and they came coiled. Thanks for all the tip, pictures and videos. If I never post anything again, it didn't work out so great. 
The one video I gave a definite "hell no" to was tucking the blade under your belt and uncoiling in the house.

I did a quick look at a couple of the videos and went for it. When it says heavy gloves it should say don't use your old Tig gloves. Other than breaking in a new set of Tig gloves, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

A while back I asked for questions to ask WM on my visit in September and thus was the first I got answer.

I have been doing it this way and it feels more controllable than flinging it around.

I learned how to coil and uncoil bandsaw blades way back when I was a kid, but that was on a small 16" wood shop saw.  Those blades are very tame and easy to coil and uncoil.  Same principle applies for the big blades, just takes a little more strength to do it.  And....  With the big ones, I wear welding gloves.

I do it by grabbing the blade on sides, and twist the blade lengthwise.  Hard to explain, but it's tame and works.  I have to learn the WM way I think that looks easier.  

The method in the video before this post looks really good.  It's basically the same thing I've been doing but looks easier.
