"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're making a bracelet out wire and coaxial cable. So far, we've cut our wire. We've cut the beads off of the coaxial cable. We've smoothed the edge on the inside of the beads. We've cut off a little bit of excess trim on the outside of the bead. And now, we're going to take the dremel with the sanding bit and just go over the edge of each of the four sides really quick to smooth the outside of the bead. So we'll do that really quick. We're just going to do the same thing as we did last time. We're not going to try to take any away. We're just going to try to smooth it. And we didn't cut any away. We just smoothed the edges, so that we can put the bead inside or the inside of the bead in. We'll glue it in and paint the end also. But this kept--so that there wasn't any excess on the outside of the bead. It keeps them nice and smooth-looking. So we'll make the bead next. After--we'll make the bead next and then after that, we'll paint it."
