Scroll saw blade storage
« on: August 05, 2019, 10:50:20 pm »
Hello all. Can someone recommend where I can buy Scroll Saw blade storage tubes? I ordered some from Amazon and most were broken, really poor quality. Thank you
Thank you. I hope everyone has a great day and please be safe.

lee valley is my first choice to , great quality, service and will accept returns with no questions asked. if you have a store near you it is worth the visit. yeah they may be more pricery than amazon but it is good to support a quality store.

A picture is worth a couple of words  ;)
Cut 1/2 inside diameter PVC to 5 inch lengths. Cut one 4 inches.
cut scrap plastic into 3/4 inch pieces (I used old VCR tape cases)
super glue onto the end of the pipe. make sure it sits long enough to cure.
With file or belt sander sand off excess plastic so it leaves the pipe smooth all around.
cut base shape from scrape 1 inch board (really it is only3/4 in)
Let me know if you want my pattern but it depends on how many blade holders you want.
drill 5/8th holes 1 inch by 1-1/2 apart with spade bit so just the point comes out leaving a thin "floor".
The covers are the pipe caps.
The four inch front pipe holds the blade in current use.
blades usually come with labels that I just tape on.
Hope this helps feel free to ask any questions if I didn't make something quite clear. Hope this works for you. Sizes can be adjusted. Bigger pipe, bigger holes etc.
