"So now that I have got this outer area opened out and away from the center part I can go ahead and address this and make the cylinder in the middle. The first thing I'll do is take my left index finger and push down towards the middle and then pull out, use my left hand to stabilize that rim. Now again you want to check the depth of the floor here with your needle tool, stick it right in the middle and see how deep it is, a little over 1/4 of an inch is good and once you've got that the depth that you want it to be take your hard rib and compress the floor, compressing the floor does two things, it makes it very smooth and it also makes it more stronger and makes it more dense so it is going to hold up to a little more. Now that we have got that inner area open the walls are ready to be pulled to make the cylinder."
