You will spend about 75% of your time scraping for each new one you make. It's a wicked pain in the ass because one little nick will affect the rest of the reed and may even change the entire sound! For this reason, I'm not going to make a one-page summary of all the scraping techniques. I plan on making a different site devoted just to scraping. For now, you can turn the reeds you have now into earrings!
