You have to kind of roll the block over the edge while moving diagonally, if that makes any sense. Put minimum pressure on the block, let the paper do the work. I'm not good at putting this into...

I wanted a truck, you can't buy anything with a V8, manual transmission anymore. I hate screens as well, so I bought a 1965 C10 and should have it done soon. Everything I want, nothing I don't.
