"So I've got all this clay here. You know what- I think we should put more clay for the bottom down there. Maybe just a little bit because I don't want it to be too thin down there because I want it to support the rest of this pot here. I'm going to bring that clay up so it can come hang out with that other clay which I am going to collar. I would like to stop about there and at this point just to ensure that this guy stays nice and sturdy I'm just going to take my rib and do like that. I feel pretty confident that we have got enough clay for the bottom and now we are really going to collar this guy."
