Step 4Make the Initial Incision
Cut an X or asterisk in the top of the can.
Warning from my Granddad: "Don't cut toward yourself and you won't get cut."
These flaps are going to be the pot supports. The bottom on this can is heavier than the top, so I'm turning the can upside down to make them. Also the other end has the pry-tab open, and that makes it hard to make the pot supports turn out right.
Often you'll get a better result by opening the can by cutting the X instead of whatever the vendor intended.

@Pyro: Looks like a knife or any other thin, sharp object less than or equal to the diameter of the can that's being cut. Maybe even another can, a hard shell, a sharp rock bashed with another rock...

What do you cut it with? *Please use proper spelling. I can read shorthand, but severe misspelling of normal words drives me insane (granted it's not a very far drive...). thanks.
