I like THAT better than the two handed method.
Now to solve the 'bending down' issue!:D

Yes, excellent youtube video on coiling a bandsaw blade. Since just purchasing my used 500, I had a couple uncoiled blades to deal with (OK, I uncoiled one of them trying to figure it out myself).
Googled it and found it on eHow. The only 2 things that eHow added to the method was to use plywood on the floor to protect the teeth of the blade when stepping on it, and to face the teeth away from you when you grab it to twist it clockwise.
A coiled blade will also be easier to dunk in Vaporust in a small pan if you need to derust it, like I have to.
