"So once you've got your lid on center, and you're sure that it fits you can go ahead and trim it with the ribbon tool, it doesn't need much trimming, just a little bit, and also, it can be nice to add a little detail so I'm going to trim down a little further right there. And then I'm going to trim in a little bit on the other side. Just to give it a little extra detail. I'll smooth that with my sponge, and then I will again take my scoring tool and get the center ready for a knob. And get a little ball of clay, moisten the bottom of it, score it up really well, and then squish it on there to get ready to throw the knob."
