LFrankCPA Posted January 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I'm wondering how other molders store their fine saws. I must had a dozen or more in two different categories. One for regular cuts and the other for metal or harder woods. I want a way to store them so they will be readily available yet not so lose as to damage the blades. There must be a way. I'm sure you have the answer. Thanks in advance for your help. Larry Sorry, I left out the "hand" part of this....hand saws.....I must be getting old(er)....

grsjax Posted January 2, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2015 I wrap them in oil impregnated paper and store them in a drawer in my work table. The paper is the kind that is used to wrap metal parts like bearings. tasmanian 1 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

mtaylor Posted January 2, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2015 If, you have the wallspace, get some pegboard and hooks and hang them.

Bob Blarney Posted January 2, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) I trace out the saw on a piece of 3/4" pine board, and then add 3/4" all around. Then I glue a 3/4" x 1/4" strip on the tooth-side of the tracing. Then I drill and embed a couple magnets into the board and stick the saw to the magnets. The wooden strip on the tooth-side locates the saw on the board and protects the teeth. Then you can screw the board to the wall, or carry it around as needed. I also have made a 'holster' for my japanese saws, sort of like a six-gun belt holster. It works for me.

joshuamit Posted December 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted December 18, 2015 I use a magnetic tool holder. You can buy them in different lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Blarney Posted December 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I made the description, of the idea of a shopbuilt magnetic holder too complex to understand. It's quite easy to do. Oh, and a light spraying/wipedown of vegetable-based kitchen canola oil (i.e. rapeseed) such as PAM, works well against rust, and can be washed off easily with soap and water.

mrjimmy Posted December 19, 2015 Share #7 Posted December 19, 2015 Boiled Linseed Oil also works well to prevent rust on saw blades....... just wipe it on the blade. Jim Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLakie Posted December 19, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 19, 2015 Always used CR-56 or WD-40 on all my blades, power and hand saws. It's light, and easier to wipe off when you need to use the saw.

AndrewNaylor Posted January 8, 2016 Share #9 Posted January 8, 2016 Take a length of plastic hose 1/4 inch 6mm, cut to length of the saw blade, slit full length then slide over the cutting edge to protect the teeth even when hug on the shop wall. shiloh, Erik W, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Current Build HM Granado CC Past builds HMS Chatham CC, HM Convulsion CC, Duke William German Kit, Fair American LSS, The Wright Flyer MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burroak Posted January 23, 2016 Share #10 Posted January 23, 2016 Johnsons floor paste wax is good to protect the saws and also helps the saw keep from hanging up when sawing Pete38, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote GREG H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
