hyperbolic structure on Figure–8 knot complement

I was trying to understand the proof of the fact that there is a hyperbolic structure on Figure–8 knot complement initially from Thurston's notes and then from some online notes; but unfortunately I could not understand the construction (namely the knot complement can be realized by identifying the boundary of 2 ideal tetrahedrons.)

Can someone please give a good reference for the proof? Thanks!
