 Re: beginning reed making - HELP!

Sharpened razor blades are great for shaping cane. I use a fine grit 1200 EZE-LAP diamond stone to straighten out the curls & then refine the blade on a translucent Arky. A few strokes on each side on each stone & Bob's your uncle. Best to use a relatively new blade for clipping miniscule amounts of cane off reed tips, however. I use a goose neck high intensity halogen lamp…probably similar to yours, Craig & Mark (bought mine at Staples also) & Donegan Optical #7 dual lenses mounted in a headband when I shape cane & scrape reeds.

Best,

john
