I see many discussions on how to curl and uncurl bandsaw blades.
If I have the wall space what is wrong with hanging them in an uncurled
position as long as I use something that will not kink or fold the blade and
the hanging point. I was thinking of two brackets with soft rubber water
pipe insulation on the bracket.

Nothing, why not just learn to fold them? If you do indeed have that much
wall space, think "I need more clamps."

People may boo-hoo my Delta 16" three wheeler but it sure is nice not having
to change blades on the my 16" Jet every time I need to work with a small
blade!

Bicycle rim works nicely.
I want to thank all of you for your replies.
I have a enough wall space to do tis and not get in the way. It just seems
easier than coiling them since I will likely be changing them from doing
bandsaw boxes to resawing and back again.

If you will be doing that many changes, buy a second or third bandsaw. You
can easily justify that :)

Most of us don't. If you do, go right ahead.

Russ... no problems that I can see, as long as you're not hanging it on
something that will kink the blade..
ALSO.. I'd recommend hanging blades with the teeth FACING the wall to avoid saw
tooth/ body part contact... DAMHIKT

They will take up about 6 times more space and be about 6 times more likely
to be smacked by something. Otherwise you can store them this way, no
problem. In my case a 16" diamdter circle works better for than 47"
diameter circle.
