If you tried that with a large blade you could end up with a very nasty injury, the 5" and 4" blades on my old Stenner and Forrestor machines weren't coiled as such, the centers were brought together so that the point of the teeth from one side matched with the gullet on the other side, some bailer twine was tied round at that point then a couple of layers of cardboard wrapped round then some more bailer twine, you then ended up with a shape like a pair of upturned spectacles, the two loops were then brought together and also tied off in the same manner.
You can nest two or three blades from the same bandsaw that way.
Doing it that way ensures that the swages don't interfere with each other and get damaged, same when they come back from the saw doctor as equal swaging is a must for accurate sawing.
