Hey Rikki
  
I cannot comment on the wine bottles but,
Andre built a hand baler for the Auroville, India SB build, you can just see it in the second row of pics in the middle
http://www.lamaisonenpaille.com/Galeries/Stages/Stage-Auroville.htm

and Jo mama and the Clintgineer have a picture of one they built on their website 
http://www.the-home-place.com/straw-bale.html

or if you win the Spanish lottery

Hi all,

I am making plans to make a poured adobe floor this spring and I am thinking 
about possible insulation to put below (cheap or free).  Has anyone tried 
using glass wine bottles layed flat.  Do you think this would work good, or 
would it create a thermal bridge?

Also, a friend of mine is looking for information on how to build a horse or 
man-powered baling machine.  If someone has any plans or construction 
details or links please send them on . . .

Rikki
