"JASON HARRIS: Hi, I'm Jason with ExpertVillage.com. And we're making a bracelet out of a razorblade and coaxial cable and a wire. So far we've got the first bead put on with the knots on each end so it won't move. We've put the charm in the center, and now we're going to put the second bead on and we're going to measure where the knots need to be put in. We're going to use the first set of knots--of marks that we did for this. We're just going to turn it over. So we have this--we'll pretend like this was center. This is the bead. We'll just--this is the bead. This is center. We'll put the bead in its spot and the knot needs to be right here. So move the bead up to where the knot needs to rest against. And that's where you're going to want--the knot is right here. Now I'm just going to take with my fingers and that's where I'm going to mark where the knot needs to be. I'll take the bead back off and I'll actually tie my knot. And I will keep--the knots got to go down to where my fingers are. So I'll keep pushing it down. I'm actually just gonna--so I can move my fingers better, I'm just going to keep a visual of about how much I need in between the knots. And that's my marker. So I'm just going to kinda just guess a little bit. It's going to be really close to perfect, even if it's a little bit off. So just keep pushing the knot down and that should be about where we need it. We'll put the bead back on and measure for the ends and the other bead in the next step. So we'll also make a knot in the end for the clasp in the next step."
