I'll put my videos on my web site and send you the links in the morning (night for you!). Same e-mail address as for the PDF?

For the thicknesses, Cooper wrote a fantastic reply to a similar question I had over the summer:
http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=10&i=15967&t=15898

Right now, with my hand-made profile, I'm getting 0.57 in the center and 0.40 on the sides. You can get thinner sides with a bigger blade and thicker sides with a smaller blade (diameter): you don't have to risk ruining a good blade.

In my Montreal days, we used to prefer 0.6 to 0.63. Now that I think back on it, it was all just bragging and no sense: everyone complained that their reeds were either too hard or too unstable --- it seems from some discussions here that the more you scrape, the more you lose the cane's natural stability.

It was almost by accident that I discovered I prefer 0.57: last spring, I was running out of cane and my machine was in a really bad state. So I used the only cane I had left (0.57) expecting it to be bright, buzzy and wobbly.... instead I got a perfect reed with a dark rich mellow sound! The experiment has repeated itself sufficiently.
=> The only Internet reference I found on German scraping also prefers a gouge of 0.58

The cane I bought from Roseau Chantant (shaped to experiment with different shapers) is not as thin on the sides. His cane selection is meticulous, so very high quality, but the sound is always brighter and a little bit more harsh (to be more exact, less mellow).
