Alright so here, I think I've gone down too, I think I've gone down far enough. I'm just
going to draw it out a little bit, give me some room to get down in there and examine
it. Now by doing this, I'm just double checking myself to see if I have got the proper thickness
in the bottom. Too thick, so what I'm going to do is go down a little deeper, alright?
Pull it out and press it, and there you go. Alright, at this point you want to go and
double check it again. Perfect, that's proper thickness down there, so go and get rid of
that little mark that you made with your tool. Go down there and put a little mark in there
of your own, a little potter swirl. Just looks nice and when they dig this piece up a million
years from now, that little swirl will always be there to let people know you were there
at one point. You can't get that from a machine. So you want to start bringing this out as
far as you want your vessel to be width wise. This is going to establish how wide around
it's going to be. But all the while, if it starts flaring out just bring it in like that.
Because you don't want the pot to flare out quite yet. Right now we're just trying to
get it up, were not trying to get it, not trying to get it to go out, we want it to
go up. Alright, straighten it out. There we go, now we're ready to start throwing this
guy.
