Hi John, well done, I take my hat off to you! I as a time served engineer myself I am fascinated by what you are doing. I’ve worked in both heavy and light engineering and often in collaboration with tool makers of various disciplines. I’ve memories of rows of small toggle presses on the shop floor. Also Jones and Shipman grinders too. Your videos are really enjoyable and I know who I’ll be contacting when I need my harmonicas repairing! Have a good Easter.
Hello, John! I'm amazed by your videos and your skills, well done! Looks like the brass sheet is "folded" just before you cut the reed off. Why do you make this folds? What's its function? Please tell me if you have that folding process on video, I'm really curious about it. Matheus, Brazil.
Wow talent skill superb...God continued Blessing for sharing your...Excellent video
Congratulations, John!
First reed - wow! Making history here John😉

Thank you. I have a few more videos coming over the next few weeks.

What kind of metal do you use?
Shows you how accomplished Mathias Hohner was and what he may have used in designing his harmonicas considering Germanys lack of resource back then

its not a fold. Where the metal has been milled off the top part looks folded but its not .its just a sheet of phosphur bronze.
@@johncook9040, clear! So these are different thickness. Amazing!
where from do you get the special brass ?
i would love to buy some reeds sir
Hi can you help me with some more information from where I can buy your machine. I am keen to build Indian harmonium pls. Regards Mandeep New Zealand
Hi sorry I dont make tooling to sell. I think you only need to send a component to a chinese toolmaker and they will make you one very cheap.
Ok
