One of those things that you keep forgetting how to do because you don't do it that often
To coil a band saw blade:
Set the blade on the floor and step on it (don't grind the blade into the floor which could dull the teeth0.
Rotate hand clockwise and grab the top of the blade.
Rotate hand counter-clockwise while pushing down on the blade
The blade will coil into a manageable—but still somewhat dangerous—coil.
