OK, now we're going to first just see, how far do I have to go? Looks like about an inch
and a half all the way around on both sides, that I need to stretch this still. So I'm
going to have my hand underneath. It's very important that you support this as you pull
it out. Otherwise, your lid's going to flop down, you're going to lose it and you're going
to have to start over. So always lots of support from the underside. I'm still pinching and
pulling outward. I am doing it at a steeper angle than this is going to be in the final
outcome, just so that I don't lose it, so that it doesn't fall down. I'm going to take
my hard rib and use it to thin out a little bit more. And as the support. Check my width. I'm not quite there yet. And
I'm noticing as I'm throwing that this starting to get to be the wrong shape. So what you
have to do is to push in. Push down on the inside and support it on the outside to make
it back into a nice bowl shape, so that you don't lose it. OK, that?s better. And now
pull some more.
Check it with the calipers. We're almost there. It's OK to have it a little too big, you just
don't want to be too small. Because you can trim this lid and I'll show you how to do
that later.
Now if you're just a little bit too small like I am right now. All you have to do is
lay down this edge just a little bit and that will widen it and give you that extra little
bit of width that you need. And that looks good. We're done with that lid.
