Now that we have attached that, set it there. Now we're going to form that bale. We're going to heat up the top part here and get a nice little glob of glass going. The bale ultimately becomes a really important part of this, due to the fact that it's the last thing you have got to do before it's finished, and no matter how great whatever it is that you have made, if it doesn't have a good bale then odds are it's not going to be very successful for you. So, now that we have heated this up, we're going to stretch it out. Alright, now we're going to form our bale up. Alright we're just going to heat that sucker up. You've just got to make sure that your hole doesn't close up on you and keep running the reamer through it. Alright, so after working on your bale for a minute, and you get it nice and even, reamed out, it's going to wind out looking like something like this."
