Or if you want to mail me the cover; I'll block it and mail it back. It would take me too long to try to write out instructions - and it's sort of become a bit of an "art". And then if the cover is any size smaller than a Medium; I had a custom sized blocker made as well.

PM me if you're intersted.

Ohhh.... Nancy, if we mailed you a cover would you consider making a video too?

He's got the inserts except the card board thing for the top which we're going to pick up this week. The rain has been so bad here that the awesome blocking job a buddy did for him is completely ruined! He doesn't have the dryer rack or access to a oven as he lives in the barracks.... so that makes things a bit more of a challenge.

Also, his cover is a large. I think he has the biggest head of them all here.. haha
