Blocking is not my favorite pastime, but I have to admit it is an important step that should not be skipped - makes a huge difference in the final product.
We’ve searched for a commercially available wooden blocking frame - easier to use than wires - but so far no luck. If anyone has contact info for a finish carpenter who might enjoy an easy gig, please let us know.
