Gently lift, separate, and rearrange on the plate. They are pretty dry now and shouldn't stick together again, so don't go crazy making sure they aren't touching. (Is your dog right there with you, watching you doing this and praying you drop one? Good!)

I cut the first three bands on one side, and as soon as I had cut through the last bit of the innermost band, there was a great *crack* as the end split open between the staves. This should tell you what kind of pressure is being held together by the steel bands. At this point, I was very glad that I had screwed the bands to the staves.
After the vertical and horizontal cuts, you should end up with something that looks like this. A few pieces may have fallen out, but the onion should be connected at the top.
Your first block will have the above dimensions (31 stitches by 21 stitches), but the points of the blue diamonds overlap when you add additional repeats.
Every block you stack ON TOP you'll skip the first row. For every block you stick NEXT TO, you'll skip the first column. Just remember that the blue points and the ends of the brown lines must overlap.
Here the foam with holes is sandwiched between the two sides of aluminum foil glued to brown packing paper.
Since our washers game has a forward slope to it, and the bottom would not be resting on the ground, we wanted to make sure it would hold together is a drunken BBQer accidentally stepped in it. Hence, the 10 screws holding it to the back.
I managed to cut all 6 bands, and the tension from the bands and the wood caused a 3 or 4 inch crack to open in the side of the barrel, which also displaced the heads on either end. As a side note, it also filled the garage with a wonderful bouquet of red wine. With the fan blowing on it, it was heavenly.
The crack isn't actually in the wood, it's just between individual staves, so it's by design.
I always start with boiling water. The refrigerated eggs cool it down, so the boiling water helps the egg white stay together.
Should be pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to ask questions.
I additionally secured the bows by adding a drop of fabric glue.
The white bow (ca. 2 cm) was tied using a dinner fork, the pink one (ca. 1 cm) a dessert fork.
The best part of this clip is where I hold my left hand completely immobile, as though posing for a photoshoot, while my right is combing the curls out. I seem to be profoundly non-ambidextrous like this quite often.
Here is the tool I used to cut through the metal bands. The cutting disk did it, but it took some damage, as will be shown in one of the next photos
You want uniform slices here, about the thickness of a quarter. I use a knife intended for slicing tomatoes; it's a very thin, serrated blade.
