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,


This model, is easy to use:

TIFF image
I can also get detailed information (in spanish) for a hand-operated baling press (to make bales from loose straw), but it is a slow and laborious process. I don't know if its worth the bother. 


but do not understand
how/where to attache strings so they wouldn't be in the way when loading loose 
bales.
Try tying the new strings to the loose bale before putting it in the new box. A simple tye (so they don't fall off) is enough.
or you can leave a gap between boards and pass the string around the bale/box after the bale is in. 

take care,
RIkki


Can? one person operate one hand baler, or it has to be another tieyng
the strings?

Thank you!

Tomas
