"Alright, you'll see. We're just going to throw up the top here for now but when you're throwing from the hump, I think it's good psychology to have everything centered. Now you can go back and make things off centered if you want, but to start off you want to be on center. So, there we go, just pushing down, pushing all this clay from the bottom that's all weird and if you want you can just go ahead and take any of that off. Now it's nice and clean and I'm just going to squeeze it up. And by squeezing it up that means the clay just rises and then you just take it and push it down like that. Do that a couple times and you'll be ready to roll."
