I have a tip for keeping band saw blades from getting in the way when they are not on the bandsaw. Simply coil the band saw blade like it was when you bought it. Next, use a shower curtain hanger to clip around the coil and hang the blade on a nail or hook somewhere near the bandsaw. The shower curtain hanger keeps the blade from uncoiling and out of the way when not on the saw.
