New blade holder
« 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:

http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=6761.0

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!

Very nice!  I have limited table space so I would go for one I could hang on the wall.

Looks great! But 15 blade types?? Isn't the decision hard which one to use? I already find it hard with 6 blades types to choose the right one.

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.
