Basic set for reed making:
http://www.nielsen-woodwinds.com/p-4984-oboe-reed-making-kit-small.aspx

Basic set for adjusting:
http://www.rdgwoodwinds.com/oboe-tool-p-226.html

Buying individually, here's what you need:
Pencil (for the reed)
Ruler
Reed Knife
Plaque (countoured is safer on the reed)
Mandrel (match madrel to staples, needs to fit together, they vary)
staples
cane (gouged, shaped, and folded!)
thread (FF gauge)
beeswax
billot (cut reeds open with razor blade on this)
razor blades
sharpening stone (get same as your teacher)

Optional:
c-clamp (clamp to table rather than tie to random table/chair legs, found at hardware stores)
lighter or nail polish (lighter will seal thread beeswax on finished reed or nail polish will do so as well and will make your knot less likely to unravel)
paper clips (paper clip reeds that are too open and train them closed)


I don't know of any reed making video other than the Weber video:
http://www.charlesmusic.com/cgi-bin/theo?action=product&product_number=16-7-300

The video will not teach you to make reeds though. It's good for reference.
