A good high-intensity light... really important.

I just replaced my 10th or so, and found good choices at Staples.

Get one that allows you to adjust its placement and not impede your hands while working on reeds.

New Tensor I bought has adjustable brightness.... always use brightest for reeds, but it is nice to have the options for other things.

Personally, I've never used bee's wax in 40+ years of reed making, but some plumber's teflon tape is useful to me. And that is cheap.

Weber's reed making manual... it is my favorite and there are some other good ones, too.

Razor blades can be bought in a lot of 100... and they can be resharpened using a cheap fisherman's fillet knife sharpener... a couple $ at a sporting goods store.
