Damn people, I'll take some photos and write something up today for a step-by-step thing and move the video to the bottom :grin: I just really thought people would also want to know how and why it worked--I know that a lot of people have complained about Mythbusters recently getting too far away from the science and not explaining the how-it-works aspect of what they're doing like they used to, so I wanted to make sure I had that in there. What I'll do in videos from now on is put all the how-to stuff right up front so you can see that immediately and then the explanation and added rambling after that so you don't have to watch it if you don't want to.
