Mike, sorry for your problem, but happy that you found the cause and that you posted here to warn us about it.
I tried my first attempt last night. Home made knife, home made mandrel, wrong nylon thread, cheapest shaped reeds I could find. The outcome of the first two were as you would expect. Badly. In both cases the reed split. I was surprised by how hard the cane really is, how difficult it is to get the sides of the reed to come together and how easily my home made plaque would slip out. I won't bore you with my future attempts, but hopefully you found humor in remembering your time in learning this ability.
If you have a link to information about this, it would be appreciated.
Bob.
