"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're making a bracelet with wire and cable, razorblades, just things I've found lying around. So far we've put paint on our razorblade and glue so it would be drying. So we have some blood on there. We've got our wire and--next we need to take the coaxial cable. And this is just regular cable that you have hooked up to your satellite dish or your cable TV. And we're just going to cut a couple of pieces off of this that we're going to make beads out off. We're going to wear this as a bracelet. We don't want beads that are--the beads to be very big. So I'm going to cut off half an inch or so of the coaxial cable with just a pair of scissors. Scissors you don't really care about because the wire inside can make them dull. So I will just take that scissors and cut into the wire and not trying to cut all the way through. Just spin it around and that will take--I'll take the outside plastic piece off, and then with a pair of pliers, the center piece will come out. There's all these little wires inside and the copper wire and you don't want any of those. So you actually want to take it apart like this. Cut two of these off and do them both the same way. Try not to cut all the way through the wire, just clamp down on and twist the scissors around the wire until it's ready to come off. Pull the top piece off and with pliers pull the plastic piece off. We'll clean them up and make them shaped more like beads next."
