Hat blocks for BIG heads?

Take heart there is a new vendor on The Lounge that uses 3D printing to make blocks to order. I cannot recall his name but I am sure someone will chime in. If not our Humanshoes here in the Lounge has purchased one and test driven it. Check out his feed.

Hello everyone,

I am very new to this community and the craft of hat making. So please, bare with me if I sound ignorant.

Can anyone guide me in the direction of where to purchase a hat block that would make 7 3/4 hats? Or what size I need to make if I have to fashion the hat block myself.

Thank you!
