You will need a pan or pail for water, pinch clothespins, a yardstick, pencil, clippers or heavy scissors, an awl or small flat screwdriver, and a surform shaver. Soaking - Commercial reed needs to be soaked in warm water for about ten minutes. Ash, cherry and walnut need less soaking time. Laying Out the Base, Twining, Triple Twining, Upsett, Fold and Tuck, Wrap the Rim, Lashing the Rim, and Wrapping the Handle are all terms used.
