"So, now everything is scored and I've got a good amount of slip there and I'm ready to put these pieces together. Now, I'm going to need to be able to flip this over. So, I've grabbed a couple of bats that I use on my wheel. You can use a small piece of wood. Anything that is easily movable and pretty firm. And, I'm going to move the main piece onto one of these bats. And, then I'm going to take this base and I'm going to position it and try to center it. It doesn't have to be perfect yet, but you do want it to be pretty close. Because, when I flip this over it's going to go ahead and start the pressure of putting these two pieces together. So, now once you've got it upright you can see a little bit better if it's on track to where it's supposed to be. Get it nice and centered. And, then once you've got it centered push down from the top to make sure that that connection is really secure. And, now that's connected and I'll show you how to clean up all the edges and smooth in the creases as well."
