Take into consideration how long your arm is too. Because you're going to that big to where you want to be able to get all the clay from the bottom up before you physically can't get down there anymore. So, what I'm doing right now is just I'm pushing some sloppy water on my hands and then letting it drip down my fingers, and I can feel the dry spots inside there. I want to make sure it's nice and lubed up for my next pull. I don't want any problems. Especially don't want any problems when I have four pounds of clay getting pulled up to the top. Alright. So, just pull it up nice and slow. Alright. And there's a big cramp in my finger, but I'm just going to have to go with it. And I'm going to stop right there. We'll collar it in. Alright. Now from here, you see all this clay? I'm going to rip it up through the sky so it's going to get really tall.
