O.k. so now that I've got it to the, the size that I want here. I'm going to go and take
this rubber kidney and start straightening it out on the bottom, alright. I'm just mushing
the clay to the outside wall; you can here it, alright. And if you have to remove some
its fine; this clay is you’ll be able to reclaim that into the day. I'm not going to
put it in the slop bucket. So right now the bottom goes like this and it kind of goes
up; I want to flatten that out and get it good and wet, and start really compressing
that down; alright. And any problems like that; just take the clay, put it in there
for now and set. Rib just gouged it; alright. At this point I like to go in with my fingers
because I got a lot of clay to move; just keep moving it to the outside and while I'm
moving it to the outside, not only am I evening it out I'm also compressing the clay to ensure
we don't have and S cracks down the road. I guess it would be a shame to got this all
the way into the last firing process only to see you got an S crack and you just made
landfill, alright. So there; got a nice clean bottom, alright go in there; clean it up a
little bit. Alright then; formed the walls.
