Reedmaking for the Non-Oboist

Okay, I know this is the first time I've posted in ages. But, I promise: it'll be worth it.
I came up with an idea as the billionth person asked me how an oboist makes reeds: why not create a sort of series that explains how reeds are made? In no way do I consider myself an expert on the subject, but I at least know enough, I'd think, to describe it well enough for those who have no idea what I'm talking about.
I'm hoping to publish the first segment of this by the end of the week at the latest. I don't know how long this will take, and I can go only so in depth (it's pretty in-depth, but still) as I don't have a gouging machine or anything -but that's near an equivalent of AP Reedmaking, so I'll leave that for another day.
