I made some shredded paper, circular saw dust (finer than chain saw wood chips) and coffee briquettes with middle school pupils as part of Sustainable Design. Thanks for the videos. Thanks for pointing out how you are learning based on the process and results. Mine briquettes were smaller diameter - 6cm + 15cm tall. I will try to make some more with with some left over jute / kapok string and chain saw chips as variations too, to see any improvements in structure. Phil in S Korea
For my paper Bricks I use cardboard boxes (ripped into roughly 15x15cm pieces) and let them sit in water for 2 days, then if you shred them with a paint/cement mixing tool you get a great pulp only the grey newspaper and other recycling paper works that good because the fibres are already shorter then new paper I think.

That is simply awesome. 👌
Nice 👍
Interested to see how this goes. I know comments help. Jamie

Good video, interesting to see that you can essentially use what you have. The coffee ones look nicer to store, do they give any aroma when burning?
Thanks Sam. No aroma when burning, deffo look nicer. Bit more compact, and better burnt than chucked.

That's a great idea!
i guess its a bulker and most coffee shops will give it away for free
Nicely put.
