As I have mentioned before, I am a confirmed reed BUYER. I have had enough lessons to learn how to tie, and to scrape, and have actually made a couple of reeds that worked. But since I started the oboe at a late age (59, I think it was . . .), I made the decision to concentrate on playing rather than reed-making.

However, I want to second the endorsement of the Joseph Shalita e-book as a reliable source for advice about reed-making and adjusting. Even though you may end up buying reeds, as I do, you will still need to learn how to tweak them. Shalita's chapter on adjusting has the clearest and most effective advice I've ever seen about that subject.
