Now we're just going to keep on compressing. Just remember, this charger is going to get
put through a series of firings of extreme temperatures and extreme falls in temperatures
and it's just clay. So we want to make sure you give it the respect it deserves to make
it all the way through. Be a nice happy pot. So what I'm doing here, I'm just compressing
and I'm pulling more clay from the, I'm pulling clay from the middle here with my, with this
part of my hand, I'm pulling it over, over. See there's those air bubbles right there.
I'll fix that though, watch. You can hear. It'll pop. I don't want to go down any deeper
with that. So there's another little trick right here if it ain't popping, just go ahead
and pop it. See, I just popped it, released that air. So that trapped air when you go
to fire doesn't expand, blow up your pot or blow up the pots next to it. So I've come
as far as I want on this bat right here.
