Hey Guys,
So it seems this thread gets revived every little while because it is so useful to someone starting out in their CEB learning. Thank you guys for your contributions and constant help!
Mike, "dirt cheap builders" no longer cells the informational CD, but I am looking for a copy. If you happen to have yours I would purchase it from you, or if it could be posted on "google drive" and a share link sent or posted? The list of books it contains seems to be very useful. I would like more information about understanding the soil we have and the lime grade/content for stabilization of the bricks.
I have been doing research on constructing the slightly more complicated "QRM2-40" CIMVA Press (specifically Model 3, with the interlocking bricks) No real "plans" seem to exist and the $1,200-1,400 price tag from China seems a touch excessive. I really appreciate you giving away your work to make a press in SAE. When I finish the design of the fancy 2 brick slide feeding version I will be sure to post it- be patient though, we are not building for a couple more years.
Thanks again everyone for the communal support!
