Hi everyone,

First time posting here. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good way to get a used or rentable machine to produce CEBs in northern Arizona. Or is there an efficient way to make them another way? I looked around the website and couldn't find a topic on this so please let me know if there is one.

Replying so it’s easier for me to find later. I want to know this info too. Also, wondering how hard they are to make if e.g. you have a bit of metalworking/welding experience

Most folks on the forum being permie type people would make their own CEB.

The plans were floating around here somewhere, detailed enough a good local fabricator could make it. I can’t find them right now, either :(
