Title: New blade holder
Post by: KarlB on December 03, 2011, 09:08:53 pm: Well I just received 5 new blades from Mike so I had to update my blade holder. This was my first:

Well instead of doing another when I get more blades in the future, I planned and used all of my tubes. 15 in total.

The side of the holder is pine, the cross members are Spanish cedar. The blades are Flying Dutchman. ;D

Dimensions: 7 3/4" tall, 11" wide, 12 3/4" deep

I should be set now for quite a while!

You're probably right Torsten. I've bought the ones I have to determine which I like the best. I'll eventually get down to only a few types. I bought this time blades for puzzles, blades for metal, etc.

I also have a number of unknown blades a friend gave us and I'll put those in the extra tubes (thick wood blades, spiral and pin end)

At least now I feel prepared as I had not 2/0 blades at all.
