How to Strip & Cut Wire for Circuit Bending

Video Transcript

"AMANDA CLAIRE: All right. So, I got wire length, I got my little wire cutters. Remember, there's a different part of a tool like this that cuts and versus the part that strips, so the tip of this is going to cut my wire. I'll go ahead and I'll cut one with that length, and then I'll just use this, this kind of a pattern I guess, and run it out again and let's see, okay. We cut another one at that length here. Okay, good. Now we've got two wires they're going to be long enough to go from the speaker over the one of these terminals; they're not too long because you don't want to whole bunch of wires just sort of floating around in there. So then the next thing we're going to do is strip them. So we just use the wires strippers, right? And it's very easy. Just bring it back maybe about let's say 1/4-inch and then crimp it, and then just pull it kind of straight through, and now we've exposed kind of the wire on that. So we're going to do that on both sides of one wire, there we go, and now we're going to do that on both sides of the other wire. And one, two, and so. What we've got now is now we've got two wires, the ends have been stripped, and they're ready to install and connect our jack to the speaker."
