"Now that I found my spot here, I'm going to take my serrated rib, and I'm going to score it, just a little bit like that. Make them bigger because you can go back and just fix it up, and I know that my bottom is going to come down there. Go ahead and take a little slip from what you saved from throwing, dab it in there, not too much, you don't need too much because this is nice and wet already, not wet, but definitely good working state. You can see I've got it scored, slipped. Set that down for a sec, come over here, get rid of a little bit of the extra clay there, a little bit. I like to leave it nice and big right there. Score, it's already got slip on the other side so you don't need to slip that, just in your hand like that, like that, find its' place on the edge of the table there, and boom. Okay, you're on there like that, and it's, you don't have to get it on there right away, just let it sit on there, just make sure it's in the right place, and the position's right, it's not crooked, okay, and then just let it set up for just a minute. And right now I can tell you it's in a good space and we just have to come back and finish it up with some of these tools."
