150" blades take up space I don't have and I have about 8 of them....
Coilded up they set on top of my upper wall cabinets.

I learned how to do that before I knew what a bandsaw was - it's the
same way you fold up a wire-beaded bicycle tire.

Makes it easier to carry a spare when touring...or to fit in a backpack
to bike home with it.

Sure, why not? It's easier to carry them...unless you want to wear
them.

That picture is also interesting for the riders smoking. Back in the
day, smoking was thought to clear the lungs and give you more lung
capacity.

Folding a BS blade
 

I hang it from an upturned hand and let it touch the floor. Step on it
with your toes (in a boot of course). Close your fist (in a glove of
course) and twist and lower and get the same effect. Of course I
always have to try it two or three times before I remember the exact
flow.

Ever looked at some of the new ones in the stores? They come in boxes not
much bigger than the innertubes that go inside them. Next time you're
wandering, wander over to the bikes and take a look.

Cause I am to tough... ;!) I don't use a glove,,, but I did when I used the
shorter blades. The longer blades seem to just fold up in place with out
really thinking about it.

I watched a kid fold up a BS mill blade and was shocked how easy it was, and
no gloves..

I use something like that, except use two hands: step on blade, hold both
hands out from sides, palms away from you (the "what, me?" pose), then grab
in both hands, turn palms towards you while bringing your hands together.

Unfolding is easy. walk out front and throw it in the grass. never fails.

Grass? Where?

At least he didn't say "8 of the 150" -=carbide=- bandsaw blades",
huh?

With a longer blade you don't enven have to anchor the bottom, my 2 hands
are the only thing touching the blade.

Well, again, I tried that when I first got my 150" blades and tossed them
out in the yard a dozen times, nothing.
With mine I have to uncoil them by hand but again it is very simple and with
out any excitement.

Can I use that as justification with swmbo? "but honey, with this bigger,
better, badder bandsaw, folding the blades is so much easier and safer!"

I'll let you know how it goes. ;-)

Probably not the single justification but you can certainly add it to the
hundreds of other reasons. LOL
