"Okay so this is where you really want to be careful. It's going to be one of the last pulls I think. It's not really a pull it's a collar. So get the wheel going real fast, squeeze it in, pull it up towards you. Just like that. So now you've collared it. Got it up to it's height. You go in there and just start making it better. If you can see it's got all these funny little twists and turns in there. I'm going to straighten all those out. I mean we can put them in later but right now they're just going to be detrimental to the pot. So what I'm doing is just straightening out any of those little funkies that happen because of the collaring. Collaring has a tendency of folding the clay and really kind of being rough with it. Alright. Alright. Now that we've got our height we want to start putting a shape in here."
