I needed to change my profiler blade, and I needed to test a 2-camera setup for filming my reed making station for online lessons and digital summer camps coming up. The full stream was an hour and I made 3 reeds, although some time was wasted at the beginning getting the stream set up and my first piece of cane turned out to be damaged (I discovered after shaping and profiling). This is not my usual method of making reeds, but it is a very useful method for making something quickly. The only thing that’s missing from the reed is a wrapping, which you can’t do effectively when the reed is this soaked.
