The best way to protect your saw blade?
I recently made my first saw in a course run by Ray at Handsome & Co. I made a saw blade protector/stand for it, however, there must be an easier way. Also, as I used wood I worry that it will attract moisture and lead to rust even though I shellaced and waxed the protector. Any suggestion? Thankssorry Picts upside down

I hang mine on a tool board.

As a kid I remember a cabinet make that came to our house that had his panel saws inside his tool box inside the torn off sleeves of a woollen tartan dressing gown. I still remember touching them and they were slightly oily.

There is a plastic strip that sometimes comes on new bandsaw blades, I just cut that to length and it slides on. I've no idea where it could be purchased from, or in fact what it's called...
But that wooden guard you already made is fine just as it is.
Saw looks good...

For shorter saws you can use plastic report cover spines. http://www.durable-uk.com/filing-and-organisation/files-and-folders/spine-bars-report-covers/spine-bars-a4-3mm.html

I purchased 20ft of saw guard from TFWW. Very good product.

Artists supply places sell this in 4' lengths. Works ok, but I use wooden guards mainly - and I see no rust effect.
This is better than spines, I have this on my TFWW dovetail saw. I am in New York at present, and will be getting a sizable length. Enjoyed a visit to TFWW in Brooklyn a few days ago, great place - more warehouse and workshop than store, interesting to see the tool development and prototyping process, and meet the people who work there. Joel has some great vintage tools, and I look forward to a return visit.
Cheers Peter

Thanks for ideas
It's good to know that you can get the plastic stuff for my next saw project, when I get organised. You spend the time making a saw you want to protect your creation.
