It has been asked over and over, explainted over and over, now a video showing 2 ways.
And there are a few blade video's in the same place.
Just hang them on the wall and be done with it.

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.

Nice drive-by, Leon.
Geeees,,, that is the second this week I think..... and I was not even looking for that kind of attention. LOL

RYou fold up bicycle tires?????
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.

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.
That's what I do.
Grass? Where?
It's hiding under the cold white stuff.

At least he didn't say "8 of the 150" -=carbide=- bandsaw blades", huh?
-- What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient, but restless mind, of sacrificing one's ease or vanity, of uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully. -- Charles Victor Cherbuliez
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
