"Ok, now we got to here, to where it's looking good. We want to see how big this opening's going to be. We want to keep in mind that this opening is going to be about that big around so don't let the clay get to far our or it's going to be hard to bring it in. So keep it basically where you want to, keep it where we're going to have it at the end of this pot. So from this point, just start moving some clay to its proper spots. Just like that. Keeping the rim in. Push it out and straighten it up like that. All I'm doing is just pinching the clay and it just wants to move in there, you don't have to move it around too much. Alright, let me just shape it up here. Now we're ready to do one final pull and this pot will be done."
