"Alright you want to start by cleaning your wheel head off from the last project. Start with a nice clean wheel head. And then we've got about two pounds of clay, you can just wedge it right there on your wheel head. Going to move it back and forth, alright. Make sure your back's on there. And get this nice and wedged up, just like that. Alright now that you got your ball of clay ready to roll, just kind of find the center. I think it already is in the center, yeah. You want to seal it to your wheel head, and by doing this you make sure that it doesn't fly across the studio when you're trying to center it. So just take your finger and just seal it right down there. If you have a plastic bat, make sure it's nice and dry before you put it on there because it'll never get stuck. There you go. Now we're going to center this guy."
