"So in order to create this flange. First I'm just going to go ahead and compress the bottom part of the wall and then as I get towards the top, I'm going to lay this out, and bring this hand down on top of it. Now I'm starting to see a little bit of torque back in the bottom here, so I'm just going to go back and compress it one more time and then I'll come and do this again. Now this flange that you're bringing out, needs to be big enough for the holes which are going to be about an inch across when they start. So I want to make sure that that's quite wide before I stop. And then I'll take my rib from the top and just smooth it a little bit. Use my right hand underneath to support it, so that I don't push it down too much. And that just gives a really nice smooth rim. And now I'm ready to address this bottom flange."
