Table saw blade storage case

Today I finished my table saw blade case. I don’t switch blades on the table saw very often, but I have enough different blades that moving them around and keeping them out of the way was becoming a problem. No more. It currently holds 6 blades, but I can easily add storage for 2 or 3 more if that’s needed.

The outer case is 12” square, made from ⅜ inch by 4 inch white oak, dovetailed on the corners. The front and back faces are ¼ inch MDF simply glued onto the main part of the case. Hinges are attaché style hinges. The handle is screwed in from the inside of the case, which meant chiseling four small grooves in one of the carriers so it could clear the screws for the handle. The latch sits under the handle.

The carriers are ¼ inch MDF, with pine edges that are ½ x ¾ inch mitered onto the edges, with ¼ inch deep and wide dadoes for the MDF to slide into. Each is hinged using some 3/32 inch brass rod, which is jammed into holes about 3/16 inch from the edge of the holder, and which pivots in a ⅛ inch hole in the outer case.
