"Okay now again I go back to the middle. I have spoke about that middle being a nice sweeping curve rather than a bottom and sides. I'm going to take this rip tool, I'm going to hold it like this with a nice little finger mark in there. I push down and as I go out and up I'm going to switch it to my left hand and put my finger underneath just to brace it, just so I don't collapse my large form here. Okay I'm going to put my spiral in there and then I'm going to check the outside cause it always changes a little bit after I do the inside and watch what I do to the rim here. This is very important for a big bowl to have a larger rim again it is about balance so the big bowl is heavy. If I keep some thickness up here when I go, when I'm holding it it would balance better. So I'm going to take this and I'm going to push the rim out to make that little curve so that I have a place to hold that bowl when I'm serving. Then I'm going to split my opening up my finger and work on the side of it. "
