[Harp-L] Harpie on embossing razor blades

[Snaruhn@xxxxxxx]

Hi Bruce,

forgive me that I have deligated my "son" Harpie to comment your post
instead of me. You wrote:

It was easy to find out that you meant me because I´m the only one who
mentioned a razor blade as an embossing help. If you had asked me directly
about that razor blade I had explained it to you once again. But Harpie is
responsible to answer difficult questions though he is a very stupid guy. You
can see that how he formulated the subject. In my post I haven´t talked about 

embossing razor blades. 

Hey, Harpie, it´s your turn.

Thank you, Dad, that I have the honor to represent you. 

Yeah, Bruce, I see that you have read that several times but couldn´t find 
any
sense. Believe me, I can´t find one either. You know that razor blades go 
blunt
by the time. So, it makes sense to emboss them. By this way one can use
one and the same blade for years if not for ever.

But I think my Dad hasn´t meant that. Perhaps he thought the blade could
indicate that the embossing comes near to the point when the "down-hammered"
slot edge touches the reed edge. Well, I´m not quite sure but...hmmmmh..I 
dunno

OK, Harpie, let it be. I see that you make the matter even worse. I fear you 
may
assert that I use to exchange broken reeds by razor blades which had been not
a bad idea. However, Vern is already going to make SS reads.

Have a nice day and excuse my irony, but I couldn´t resist.

PS. you see that this guy can´t even type his name correctly.

ok, I've read the entire thread, as well as everything I could find on the 
web about embossing.  My question is:  Do you emboss BOTH sides of the reed 
plate?  Do you emboss the side of the reed plate where the reed is rivited?  Do 
you emboss the END of the reed slot?  I've ruined several NEW golden melodies, 
so I need help!!!!

Also, how much arc do you put in the reed?  I'm sure I've put too much arc in 
some reeds.

The post about using a razor blade made no sense to me at all, I read it 
several times.

Thanks!
