Does anyone have a simple saw blade caddy system; either hand built or from the shelves? I have a few ideas on how to build one but thought I’d explore some ideas first.
I have 12 inch, 10 inch and 7 1/4 blades hanging loose almost everywhere.
thanks for any advice.

In my van, where space is a premium, I removed the head from a 3/16"x 4" toggle bolt, abd screwed that end into a bulkhead. Now, all I have to do is align the blade's hole up over the toggle and push it on. Twist the toggle on to secure the blades, or back it off and sqeeze the 'wings' closed to remove blades.
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
Piko,You ought to submit that tip to FHB. It is great!Bill
I might just do that.

I' use two lids from 5 gal. drywall mud buckets bolted together with a wingnut ..........the blades go in between. Add a length of rope for a carrying handle.

I use Swedish butter cookie tins for the 7 1/4's. They're about 7 3/8" dia. Line the wall with artists construction paper.

Made these a long time ago. Just some OSB scrap, bolt, washer and nut.
Thats how my family has always kept them . I need to make some more .
We never put covering on both sides , just one side like you did .
I havent read anything better yet .

Yeah, they serve their purpose well. Just copied what my Grand dad did. Also unoriginal to me is I wrap slit tubing and wrap it around the carbide blades to protect the tips.
I thought about getting some of those blade storage cases that Duluth Trading Co. had but I think they're discontinued now. Oh, well.But it is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation. - Herman Melville
My circular saw travels in a case, a blade caddy built in for 4 or 5 blades. Sure stopped the saw from getting beat up when loading the truck.
My good blades for the 10" tablesaw and 12" mitersaw travel with me in a box about 5" wide and big enough to slide 12" blades through the open end. I originally cut slots inside the box for masonite panels to separate the blades but when I started carrying 10" blades in a 12" box I couldn't reach them. I took out the panels and now fold a piece of cardboard around the blade before sliding it into the box.

go ahead and use on of the above suggestions, but I would add...
a couple of rare earth magnets between each blade act as a good spacer and keeps the carbide teeth from banging.
