Well, they taught us joggling. We have a joggling machine, which is not at all like a treadmill which would be a jogging machine.

We also learned to use a Piccolo machine, which is unlike flutes which are the twisty things on a drill bit. The Piccolo I am told will do anything an English Wheel will do, including making a dog bowl out of a flat piece of aluminum. We didn't make dog bowls.

What we are making is a 10" x 10" section of DC-9 fuselage. Really.
