how  close to the rivet end of the slot should you go
with the embossing?   I was worried about damaging the reed by pressing on it
too close to the  rivet, so I only embossed it along about 2/3 of the length
of the  slot.


Pls correct me if i'm wrong but.......I believe embossing close to the  rivet 
to be a good way to start on your reedwork.  I emboss from front to  the back 
toward the rivet, VERY SLOWLY and CAREFULLY, to push the reed into the  slot, 
near the rivet.  From there i put a curve in the reed.  The  purpose is to 
diminish tolerances.
