Alright, what I like to do when I'm running my wire through large platters or bowls or anything like that, I take my splash guard off, good time to clean it out. Because I want to be able to get right underneath this thing without damaging it. Alright? So you see now I can get it all like this about it. Just take your wire and get all the junk off of it. Okay? And we can even make this even easier for ourselves. Before we take the wire, just take your tool and make a little area for it to slide right under. Alright? Bits of debris that wound up on it, just get it off there. Take this and be real careful, wrap it around your finger. That's what I do, if it gets caught in your bat it could be bad, so just be real careful when you have a wire wrapped around your finger obviously. And then go like this and then off stage left. Now we have this bowl ready to go, perfect thickness. The only thing we have to do is attach these guys.
