I think they sent you a blade from Christine's car!

Having finally received my new blades from Lenox I'm thinking I figured
out where the bulk of bandsaw blade injuries happen. It isn't during
operation, it's unpacking the new blade.

So I get my new blades, 3 tpi resawers and note the twisties holding the
blade in a coil. So I undo one twistie, so far so good, then undo the
other twistie. The blade didn't immediately uncoil so I tugged at one
loop
Sproing!
"Ah my hand!"
Now I have this lethal origami tangled around my arm like a bear trap.
"Hmm maybe if I pull on this section to relieve pressure on the skin..."
SPROING!
"Ahh my arm!"
But ever so gently I manage to slide the blade off my arm and before my
eyes watch it transform into a nice perfect oval shape. So now, looking
like I got mauled by my cat I can begin resawing planks.

We'll see how the blade does now that it's been blooded. It can't be any
worse than that junk that was one it originally.
