I don't mind constructive discussion/disagreement at all...:)
I'll clarify my technique a bit. The tension I refer to is what I do with F strength thread. Actually sometimes they do break while I am tying blanks. When I use FF thread, that same sense of tension does not come close to breaking the thread.
Also, I tie to close, as long as possible, which creates less tension between the blades. If I tie too much cane onto a tube, it will definitely become choked and other problems result such as intonation troubles, poor response, etc.
I use American Scrape, close to the Philly style, Brannon - X shaper, RDG gouger w/11 mm bed. On 46 mm staple, finished reeds are usually 68 - 68.5 mm when showing the greatest strength, best intonation, and best response.
