For information and ideas and to maybe help a few folks, I have a question to ask everyone.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR OLD SAW BLADES?
All of us have hundreds of bent, broken and burned blades and it just takes a few seconds to change out to a new blade and keep sawing but, what do you do with the worn out blade? They are very sharp and can easily poke or stab someone. The teeth aren't a real problem as they are very small but, the ends are like needles and will poke through almost any paper or plastic bag.
I have been putting the old, dangerous, blades in a one pound peanut can with a heavy plastic lid on it for over four years now and it is almost half full. (I also put my broken drill bits and other small metal , sharp things like razor blades, in it.)
My plan is, when it gets too full to put anymore blades in it is to take it to a local scrap yard and have them recycled. At the rate I'm going, in another four or five years, I'll have a can that weighs two pounds and scrap steel will be up to $2.00 a pound and I'll have money to buy more blades.
