John M Johnston (jmjhnstn)  asked:  "I think I've got all the
necessary tools except for the reamer, could you talk some about that tool?" and
Bill Ghio gave links to three makers.
If I recall correctly, the late Trevor Robinson's The Amateur Wind Instrument
Maker has instructions on how to make two separate styles of reamer.  I just
bought a used copy on Abebooks, where they are cheaper than on Amazon; thanks
for giving me an excu....er, an occasion for actually getting a book Ive wanted
for years. Maybe he wrote something in the Archive about reamers, but I'm too
computer unsavvy to search it.

We used to say "Lift a glass to the majority." I believe that is no longer true;
but still, lift it to 'em.
