... ooh, yes, string tying and hurting thumb (guiding thread), that's a big one for me, five or six is hand's maximum capacity on at one sitting, so i stick to only three at a time now, no good for playing when fingers hurt :-(
... i like the idea of keeping all available tubes tied up to cane, which is phase 1 of my summer plan, new batch cane just arrived so can start soon
... earlier on this year i tried to make more reeds in a sitting, not good idea as it turned out, so now my revised goal is to aim for 1 playable reed at a time, however long that takes, i'm hoping 3 days might work out as a good average
... talking of saving hands and fingers for playing, i'm much more wary when using kitchen knives or other sharp utensils while making dinners nowadays
... QUESTION -- with all these tubes tied up as blanks, a batch of over 2 dozen, what do people like to store their blanks in and how do folks like to keep them organized depending on various stages their reeds are in? How do you identify your reeds when they've arrived at playability and are good for this but not that or whatever, etc?
