How to Leave the Screws in for Circuit Bending

Video Transcript

"AMANDA CLAIRE: So I'm taking these screws out one at a time. Remember the general rule for screwdrivers and nuts and bolts is righty tighty lefty loosey, right? That means if I'm looking down on my screwdriver I'm rotating it to the left which means I'm loosening it, righty tighty lefty loosey, okay. Also notice that I'm not taking them completely out right now because they're kind of in these little recessed gaps and so I'm basically spinning them until I feel like they're out all the way. And then I'm just kinda leave it and then move on to the next one and wait until I've loosened them all. And so what that does is that it kinda keeps 'em sort of in place, it kinda keeps thing kind of well organized, and once they're all loose then you can kind of gently turn it over, the screws will all spill on the table and hopefully they will all be of the same size. If they're not, you'll have to figure out what came from where but you know sometimes it can be easier to just kind of undo them one at a time and just kinda leave them in that little space rather that trying to fish each one out because really the easiest way to get that screw out afterwards is to just turn the thing upside down and let 'em fall out. So that's what I'm going to do. I think I'm about 9 out of the 13 screws into it. So in the next clip we're going to actually open this up and see what's inside."
