Cool! What is that?The corrugation of the can you used may also cause issues with getting the tape to lay in flat and seal, everything does look really good in the images.
Not a blade bank, i need to cut slots, but painting demo of sealing the tape to get clean lines... clearcoat used here as the undercolours weren't solid, then painted white for the base coat.dave
Show me your razor blade bank!

Nice pedal and banks
Thanks for sharing, everyone! For mine, I stabbed a hole in an old mint tin and taped it shut. Rather than being dropped in, blades slide in (like with a Feather container, for instance) and will not slide out if the blade bank is dropped. I can stack things on top, so it doesn't take up extra space in the medicine cabinet.

How many blades fit in a broth can?
Have no idea. Hundreds. I'm guessing it will be a few years before I have to make another one.
Right now I am just using the box my blades comes in. Fill it up and toss it into the recycling bin. Then I saw this thread. Realized I had an Altoids Smalls tin. perfect size, don't need to do anything to it. It work until I come up with something larger. Not that tossing blades about 10 at a time is a big deal the way I have been doing it.
Got The Stickers Off Ebay.
I repurposed an empty tea container for a blade bank - cut a sized slot, glued the lid in place, done.
That looks cool and cheap no money wasted.
I finally got round to snapping a pic of mine - a Post Office money box. The blade pack and razor for size reference:
Nice looking set all around!
I bought one of those plastic feather blade banks. Only 2 bucks and you can pop the top of with a screw driver to empty (safely) and reuse.
Goes well with your ATT bronze set!
My kids love it.
Very nice picture and bank thanks for posting
Looks cool
You guys have given me some good ideas to make my own but I'll be keeping my eyes open for a vintage bank at my local antique stores.
Here's a question for those who have nice one of a kind blade banks. What do you do with the blades once the bank is filled up? How do you transfer them to another container and what kind of container do you transfer them to if you don't throw the whole thing away? That Post Office Money Bank is gorgeous and can't see it or many of these blade banks in a land fill.
