"Alright now that we got this, where we want to be; we want to start, take your sponge; start pulling it out trying to keep it as even bottomed as possible. And what I mean that, you don't want to gouge your hands inside of it and make it real catty whompis down in there; you want to have it nice and flat, as flat as you can make it with your fingers because we're going to come back and flatten it out with that blue rib or a kidney; alright. So I'm going to take some more clay from the middle here because I remembered how thick it was and I'm going to start moving it; not so much throwing really if moving clay from one side to the other, alright. You see how this is going starting to go like that; no way, you want to be in control of the clay; push it back to where it's supposed to be. Pinch it and start pulling it out o.k., to the desired size. Alright, now you'll see by pinching it you've created a cavern down there so go ahead and take that clay that you moved from the center and put it right there; fill in that hole o.k. Just like that, alright. Now it's time to straighten that bad boy up; come in with a rubber rib, clean it all up and then we'll be able to attach these pieces."
