Cheap pan keeps the peace—and blades clean

Don't rummage through the kitchen for a container to soak your 10"-and-smaller saw blades in cleaning solution. Instead, cut the bottom 3" off a 5-gallon bucket and sand the rim smooth. Then, soak the blade and scrub it clean, all within the confines of your new ideally sized, spouse-approved container!
