So just go ahead and grab your potter's knife, right here, pushing down, that makes your plate, like that, you got to know when to stop. That is when you stop, if you leave it a little flared up to, when it fires it will sit down a little bit. But if you have it sitting like this a little, you know it is going to flop and your plates are going to look ugly. So go take your split rim sponge, clean up that little zone, alright, clean it up here, alright. I will put some design in here, make it look unique and you put this little potter's mark in there, dip and a little bit of this, take it, clean these little guys out, need the little tool or you just let them dry and they will pop right off. Just get that out of there and you have got the bottom already cleaned up, let us go back with our knife, clean off the bottom, up there. Now what we are going to do is we are going to take this off with our wire, make sure it does not have any kinks, especially with plates, because you do not have much room to move on the bottom. Turn the potter's wheel just a little bit and pull off to your left. From there you get your bat, take it off of there, alright you got your nice little butter plate and you go ahead make a few thousand of those.
