| Dear Tomas,     It is easy to learn and achieve certain speed so 
your 800 bales will not be such a problem.   My comment: This technique can easily bring a lot 
of painfull blisters on your hands, so look both videos (part 1 and part 2) 
several times and listen to Andrews advices.   Best regards, Bane M. Prvanovic

PM Subject: [Strawbale] Hand operated 
  baler 
 
  Hello,   My name is Tomas. I have been following this mailing list for at least 2 
  years. It has very usefull info.   Could anybody share pictures or drawings of hand operated straw baler. I 
  would like to make one for compacting loose bales. I had the tractor 
  compacting bales last year, but since  the tactor attached balers in 
  the area are very old, it did not compress bales very well. The 
  strings are loose, so I'm thinking about recompacting those bales (about 800 
  pcs.). I know its tremendous work, but it has to be done if I want to have 
  warm house :)  I have found some pictures online and 
   understand how to make the box and the handle, but do not understand 
  how/where to attache strings so they wouldn't be in the way when loading loose 
  bales. Can  one person operate one hand baler, or it has to be another 
  tieyng the strings?   Thank you!   Tomas
