    As for storing sawblades, when I teach, I hand out two 12-packs of
    sawblades, each in a plastic drinking straw (the kind that has that
    "ripple" in it, for bending the straw over the edge of a glass). 
    The short end I bend up about 180 degrees and tape it to the rest of
    the straw. Then I drop the pack of sawblades in and put a little
    piece of tape over the top.  I also tape the two straws (each with a
    dozen sawblades in  it) together, side-by-side. That way, the blades
    don't get lost in the packet of jewelrymaking  tools that each
    newcomer gets. 

    It's not elegant, but it works. On my own bench, I use a variety  of
    things (some from the Rescue Mission's second-hand store) in which
    to store my blades upright.
