Top notch good idea with the holes
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST VIDEO IVE WATCHED ON HOW TO MAKE THESE PAPER BRIQUETTES ...
AWSOME IDEA THANK YOU
this is a great method. Instead of the flour, which isnt really waste you can use water that you boiled rice or pasta in because the starchy water will be a natural weak glue in place of your fresh water
...or save the water which comes out of the mold during compression, and re-use it to make new slurry
Top Tip
Re used water from time and time again of doing this will act as a bond aswell
Water sieved through home-brewing grains after mashing will work as well. Man of many hobbies.
People. It's 2021 and I feel this page is going to go VIRAL any day! Invest your comments now. They could be worth a lot more if and when it goes public. Just imagine telling your grand kids that "you were there at the start". Awesome. aka Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. :O)
The music made me jump out of the window.
so did the video
You still typed this though, so it must've been ok.
@@gamete4375 it was a very low window from the basement.
LOL. Just finished saying that... you beat me by a year... That would be a bear to have as "on hold background music" on the Suicide Hotline. Well, to be candid, being on "HOLD" at all might be worse?
i found old bank statements and tax returns burn the best! ;) and so satisfying to feed those through the shredder.
rapunzel eh? I agree! The shop i work at shreds invoices and payroll stuff!
Oh I LOVE the pvc idea!
YES!! I just don't think I would have ever thunk of that.. GENIUS! Makes me want to go drop a log right now.. Very COoL.
Nice job modifying your brick mold, thanks for sharing.
Put the guitar down and step away from camp fire.
I enjoyed your video. A great project to do with kids. What a diverse learning hands on examples. Expansion, etc.
Terri Bale wow, Thanks Terri! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks @Bucket247 for taking the time to make this video, it gave me some ideas I can use in many other diy projects. I have made various presses out of various materials over the years but never occured to me to put pvc pipe in center. It also never occurred to me to use a hydraulic jack to create the pressure to squeeze out the water. It also gave me an idea for making and pressing papercrete and adobe bricks. Thanks again. I subbed your channel too.
if you could find a palce where they make wood trusse , some have a mountains of saw dust then you mix the saw dust with the card board that will produce a fiber that will bind the saw dust for making blocks and they tools that will compress them to bricks
Could not listen to this so I watched it muted. Loved the DIY hydraulic press.
I really love your video sir.. I salute the way you innovate the moulder and make it even more useful.. Dont mind these negative people.. They are just too lazy enough to do this...
If there's a will, there's a way!
I really support alternative fuels!
Let's save mother Earth!
P. S. Maybe you can look for alternatives for the flour as a binding agent..
Nice system to compress the paper. I will not use paper brick in open flame because the chemicals on it, but with sawdust those bricks should be very good.
just imagine the chemicals burning off the pvc he stuck in for air flow...lmao
@@casemanscnulz6128 you cant be serious man... he takes them out dipshit
I kinda like the guitar loop it’s catchy and helps me vibe to what I’m doing
Exactly!!! I was thinkin the same thing! 👍🏽
Nice job
I had the same exact idea. This commercial brick maker that is on various other videos has a poor lever pressure system. This is how you can easily improve it. I did not know there was a 4 brick configuration of this machine.
Good job. Completely worth all the effort. Flour!!! I'm going to start using it. Please show another vid with the funk flames...please
Thanks Uzuriuk! I think it's worth it as well, I made so many of these bricks that I forgot which ones have the funky Flames mixed in! I will definitely make more and go heavy on the funky flames and we'll see what happens!!
I was going to ask about heavy metals in the inks etc but then you threw on the funky flames and I was like "understandable have a nice day"
That was a nice hack brother.
I had a dream last night..the water was flowing from the bricks..and there was a guitar lots and lots of guitar..that’s it that’s all I remember 😂😂😂
I see what you did there Alfred... Very funny.. :O)
FYI Please do not burn glossy magazines. There is clay coating they use on the paper and it can be detrimental to your lungs. I only know this b c for years i made paper.
@CypyCup you probably don’t want that mess in a good heater anyway. Have no idea what it would leave in the pipe.
Lots of good ideas here. Use shredded paper, add sawdust for better burning and flour for binding. Use a hydraulic press for better water removal. Add pipes for air holes in the centre, and then remove them while wet.
To make them a bit easier to burn, maybe add that last layer but don't press it down as much, so it's less dense and catches fire more easily.
All great tips - thanks!
Now thats a great idea!!! maybe just as a final layer to just add and lightly press in raw shredded paper, much easier to light! 👍🏽👍🏽
please stop the 5 second guitar loop in future videos it's a good video besides that!
"The mute button will set you free" :O) Music to my ears.. so to speak. Cheers FBK-a
5 second guitar loops rock! 🎸
To then use 'grey water' instead of good drinking water is a double advantage, which is what I did when living in an isolated area with very limited water resources.
Just playing about the guitar the bricks look amazing
I'm going to make a press with my everlast welder to make a dozen briquettes at a time and hopefully speed up the process.
Thats exactly what i was planning to do but just haven't had the time! 👍🏽
Thank you for that video......The idea of flour as a binding agent is incredible,,because if you know your science,,flour has a flash point. I got to see that first hand when the bakery in our neighborhood literally EXPLODED a few years ago. The fire dept said it was because of the flour dust and the bakerys LACK of proper storage is what caused the HUGE BOOM!! So with that in mind,,it makes a great aid in your logs ability to light and burn good. Please do a burn video,,as I would like to see if yours have any difference in length of burn time compared to mine. Thanks again for a MOST INFORMATIVE video.
Frank Castronuovo Thanks Frank! I didn’t know about the flour and flashpoint, i got the idea from a few other brick makers. I’ll have my burn video up soon just have to do a voiceover and upload it but I’m rearranging my computer area so I’m out of commission for about a week.
Hal McAdams Do you have any videos of the process or can you recommend any? Thanks
The idea is good.... good large briquettes. I wish you had made the frame for the press sturdier.... Please test burn the guitar loop with the briquettes xD
I have since rebuilt the frame and it's much sturdier but when your experimenting with something your not sure will even work in the first place you just try it out with what you have available. Then when it proves to work you can build it better.
Using the items in your description above are items that would end up in the bin which would have been sent to the waste collector and then put in the dump to lay until it decomposed, its a better use to use in you "Bio Briquettes" to provide heat.
Using screws to brace down the 4x4 gantry? I would use all thread with washers and bolts on both ends.
WOW!!
Thank you for sharing honey!
You could use a rain barrel for your water needs and even a short 1/8in rain is enough to fill a 40gal barrel.
For drying out your bricks you can make a hot box. Like #2 45 degree triangles with a back bored painted black and with a used window pane of some kind. Then you could put a air vent to let the moisture out. It’s basically a cheap solar cooker which can get up a few hundred degrees.
You should try to save the water from the squeeze to add to new buckets since it will contain flour and other solids
Most folk use normal torn paper and mix the water in with a paint mixer. The water soaks into the paper in a couple of minutes.
Tim the Tool Guy would be impressed with your hydraulic press, but have you considered the Binford 8200 series hydraulic pump ?
Great job, I too have this setup, I work for a “ School “ system, and of course I get huge bags of shredded paper free, and large bins of sawdust from the carpentry shops at multiple schools, experimenting now with the cooking Labs waste veggie oil. However cant right now as its -24c where I am .
Madd Macc shredded paper sure is much faster and easier to turn to pulp than just regular paper! And with access to sawdust too... you got it made!!
Great video 👍 shame the press wasn't up to the standard needed. Jamie
The music is driving me crazy xD
Nice video, thanks for posting. My lord people are such j*@koffs!! I was reading the comments for the answer to the rain question and couldn't believe the crap people complain about!! I didn't even notice the guitar loop!!! People should comment online the same way they would in real life, because in real life these a holes know they'd get the snot smacked out of them!!
Dude!!! I totally agree! most shit comments come from people that just found youtube yesterday and feel the need to criticize every video they watch. Glad to see folk out there like you Paul that get it! Thanks Buddy!!
@@Bucket247 Your viewers gave you honest feedback on what they disliked, and instead of hearing them, you decided to be a twat. Lose the ratty guitar lick; it'll make your video much more watchable.
@Paul C Are you saying that propose a violent reaction against speech you don't like?
With this you can built houses😊
Very clever !👏👏👏
nice job
Wow, the critiques in the comments😂 I just saw this vid randomly on my video feed. I really enjoyed the vid and admire your handyman skills 👍
Dezzaster...Thanks buddy!! Yea the comments are pretty wild and diverse!
Very crafty! Great job!
monica shelvin Thanks for watching!
Cool cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Portugal RULES! :)
i am useing an angle grinder or rotary tool to put notches where it meets the rods and thread the rods use nutz and big washe,
r so it so slip and bend
Good Job!
Much better briquettes 👍
I dare to think that you used more energy then thees briquettes will give you. But still if it gives a joy why not to do that.
I seriously doubt that. Have made these in the past. Requires very little electrical energy expenditure for quite a reasonable return in heat energy. If you're talking about energy in effort, you haven't done much firewood collecting! Lol. Either way, it's better using it as heat than throwing the paper in the bin, which may go into landfill(if Australia's recycling system is anything to go by!). It's also better than cutting more trees down.
As for use of power tools, who's to know if he/they aren't "off grid" and powering everything from solar PV panels, batteries and inverter?
my grandparents did that during WW2
Good ideas I learned thank you
great
is it possible to easy make Bio Briquettes for BBQ and Shisha pipe with charcoal dust...
Somebody should do a cost analysis of this...
The material cost, time cost, of course how long the bricks burn for and how many BTUs it gives off vs normal gas heating
Mark making it on this scale is hardly worth the money when you could head out to the woods. However if you do it on an industrial scale with industrial equipment, you can take landscaping waste and turn it into pallets and pallets of bricks and sell for a little bit of money. Most of the money would be from the landscapers dumping their waste at your site.
Free waste paper, minimal elbow grease, and a $50 press vs around $400 a cord of firewood times at least 2 a season, $20 or so for starter/bio logs times at least 50 a season and cutting down your own trees, transporting then to your processing site, chainsawing, splitting, chopping,stacking for a whole season....! C'mon this is sooo much easier and cheaper than the alternatives!! I mean I round up trees and large branches that fall on my property and that's a big undertaking to process for firewood. If I didn't HAVE to get rid those logs I would never take on that project just to save a few bucks!! I use the wood in my outdoor firepits just because I have to get rid of the mess on the farm and be a shame to pay someone to remove it and then go buy firewood when I want to hang out buy the fire.
Brilliant 👍 thanks
About three times as much paper and sawdust for that amount of water and it will stick together but dry faster.
Hi, can I use part of your video to my compilation homemade inventions and projects ?
Sure, just shoot me the link when your done. 👍🏽
@@Bucket247 ok no prob thank you
@@Bucket247 video is ready Thank You ruclips.net/video/6x8CsqgzJUA/видео.html
Great way to recycle paper if you have nothing else to do...but I have 2 concerns. One is you’re using flour, I.e. food in the production and second is shredded xerox paper has a lot of chemicals.
STOP the music…amazing video
I've thought of a brand new, revolutionary, unlimited and potentially free resource. I call it "firewood".
Try running that past someone living in the desert 🐫......
All the work it takes processing firewood vs this is no comparison!! Not to mention the infinite supply of junk mail that comes to a house on a daily basis, the fuel carries itself to your house!! Spin a drill for a few mins, press it and lay it out for a few weeks, man that's hard work!!
Could you char the paper, the same way wood is made into charcoal, then use that to make normal biquettes?
I cannot see why not. If paper is pure cellulose (which it should be, though chemicals are added), then it should make a very pure (and also very dense) charcoal. If you're using it for cooking, well, I'd probably be afraid of the added chemicals/inks burning into your food, but if you are using it for blacksmithing, it might work, you just wouldn't want it as large as seen in the video.
Hard getting ready shredded paper from offices etc during these covid times.
Yeah... things have definitely changed.. Something so simple. Very sad. Who would have ever guessed. Cheers VK
could probably add a bit of cement mix to replace the hydraulic press.
Theses are for burning... not building.
awesome!! thanks for sharing. can you put up a video of how long they burn?
Optimus Yarnspinner you got it buddy! Voila!! ruclips.net/video/KKoK3D8zwdY/видео.html
Bucket247 wow amazing! thank you so much :)
Brilliant 👍🏾 how long was the burn time on each?

No matter what the radical ecologists are saying its a very good idea paper recycling plants have to much wasted overstock paper thousands of tons not knowing what to do with them anymore since the price of recycle paper went down drastically some do end up in the landfill polluting much more than the fact of burning the water based inks on them ,the only paper that we shouldn't use are the glossy papers covered with a plastic formula !
yes there is an over supply of waste paper, pity that there isnt a law to make all notebooks, toilet tissue and paper hand towels out of recycled paper to increase demand
how about putting in some horizontal pvc bars in there? To create more air flow for a more complete burn?
Vikram Agawaane well I’ve got two in them now and they burn pretty good, i can flip them on their side and get a faster air flow.
I make mine without any holes and they burn fine. I suppose adding air flow might make them burn a bit more efficiently, but overkill isn’t necessary.
20 cent each brick $10 for labor = 10.80 four bricks.
J. C. 😂
why not make your bricks shape in stackable shape; this way, it is easier like lego to make homes?
you get huge points for cutting to the chase. i love the double press and air holes. if you open the release on you jack enough to remove it, then close it, you can just open it again and squeeze you r jack into place much faster. well done! how long does it take to dry on average?
Thanks Abe! I live in San Diego so if i pump out some bricks in the summer it takes about two to three weeks to dry, i flip them over every week until dry. Winter could take a month to dry completely if not more.
Add some shredded guitar dust next time.
I missed the word "guitar" the first read.. the I got it.. Now that is HUMOR. Cheers.
Is this a way to improve the world we live in or just cheaper than buying the same BTUs in firewood? The time to mix in small 5 gallon batches, and hand pressing with a small jack doesn't seem worth the time and effort. If this could be scaled up with large shredders, mixers, and powered presses it might seem reasonable way of reprocessing the large amounts of shredded paper produced everyday by society. I assume these bricks burn at least as long a standard dried and split wood or they would not really be practical.
Would they be safe to use in indoor construction-if coated with lime or other plaster?
I'd say that if you want to do that you'd probably have to mix it with boric acid or borates I think it's called. This should in theory make it flame retardant but I'm not a 100% sure.
I know boric acid is used in paper insulation but if you try researching it a bit I'm sure you'll find out. Good luck with it 🙂
great video[s].......had the idea along time ago packing all that junk mail but you made it work!!!....wonder about a lil paper mache mix for a binding agent?...kutgw!!!
ok this 1 got me!!!...but i think im going to build a jig & mold to do big log type, maybe cut a few into 3 or 4 inch thick pancakes but burn 1 big section...great video, im a guitarists so the music is fine for me...haha..
I know it's 4 years old but I'm wondering how well that block maker held up
I had to re-enforce it once but short of that it’s fantastic!
OMG {me too} if it doesn't work I'll burn it too!! And yes I hv to agree w/ the majority= smash & burn the guitar also. But great video, keep it up.
This is very good !!
chris cullen Thanks buddy!! 👍🏻
After mixing it I couldn't tell if it was your paper mix or concrete!
not for everyone, but well done
Just put your speaker off! The guy says nothing
use the left over water in your garden!
Yeah, but how do they burn?
Just asking. Is it worth all the effort when one can easily access wooden pallettes as fuel?
No, it's only worth it if you have more paper available to you than wood. I must admit it was hella fun making different concoctions and playing around with this for fun but if the wood is readily available then stick with that.
@@Bucket247 was thinking of using olive press residue for briquettes.
The flour will promote the bricks to get moldy.
I think that's why in the notes it states to: Cook not Burn the logs. And oh by the way, they do need to be refrigerated until use. Cheers!
LOL, I used a plastic bucket inside with the drill & a paint mixing metal rod. Result (when the rod went through the side of the bucket) was a bloody mess. I didn't do that again. LOLOL.
Hahaha!! we live and learn from our mistakes!!!
Amaziiiing where did u get that machine?
Amazon, i think i put a link in the description.
really great idea, how long does each of the bigger bricks burn? thanks
here's the burn test video link...ruclips.net/video/KKoK3D8zwdY/видео.html
Did you do a burn test? If you mentioned it I missed it. I turned off the sound. The guitar was mind numbing.
yea i did a burn test, it's on the channel somewhere.
Liked your Video, couldn't find the 4 in 1 paper log maker link. I'd appreciate that. a link would be great:
I added the link, not sure where it went because it was in there before. I think amazon is out of stock right now. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTP5UQE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Magazines, junk mail and colored gift-wrapping paper may seem like harmless items to burn. Only use plain newspaper or uncoated paper in your fireplace, and use it sparingly. While you should generally not burn paper, it is acceptable to use a small amount of tightly rolled, plain black-and-white newspaper as kindling. Make sure to place it between small bits of wood and avoid any paper with colors or gloss. But the ink printed on the paper releases toxic fumes when burned.
Keeping warm is more important than what goes up the chimney … priorities Karen
@@nineteen8486 Death from toxic fumes or chimney fire from soot or keeping warm? 🤔
@@sammas7440You are aware that burning wood also produces toxic fumes, no? Ever heard of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds?
@@mgord9518 Yes. So what's your point?
@@sammas7440 So the argument about burning paper in your furnace killing you with toxic fumes makes no sense?
No no no use a smaller bucket oh for the record the lignon(wood glue) in the wood is a binder once it drys
Thanks for the video. We're running out of wood. This should help us burn the bodies.
Gas!...you need gas to burn em!! 🔥
My question is, how long do they burn? And is it time effecient enough to make these to heat a home?
very cool video, I tried to do something like this a couple of weeks ago (before finding your video) but can't seem to get my 'bricks' to dry out. How long did it take for your bricks to dry out?
In the summer time they take about two weeks to dry out. Flip em after one week. Before I started to hydraulically press out the water they were taking roughly a month to dry out.
The main problem all of us face is shredding de paper...
The rest is... history :-)
Mihai Mateescu if you soak normal pieces of paper for a longer time you can accomplish the same results.
how long is it taking your logs to dry ? I am in New Jersey , i place my logs in a shed , the shed is always 100 hot , but my logs are still not drying ?? Thanks Mike
In the summer it takes about 2 to 3 weeks to totally dry. I put mine up on the roof and flip em over once a week.
ok thanks , mine are in my shed for 3 days but not dry yet , Mike
Try getting some asphalt felt like they wrap around the exterior of buildings. It's really really really black and insulating, then add sun
O k , thanks , I was putting them in the sun and they were drying but it was slow , Thanks Mike Espo..
Do you move them in case it rains? Do they deteriorate in rain?
Hello. What drill and drill bit are you using. Tks
I’d use s plug in drill if i were you, cordless drills burn out. i welded a saw blade on to a long shaft for mixing but snything similar would work.
why don't you use old engine oil in the mix instead of water would probably burn more slowly
Well i suppose i could but it might never dry out and might smoke like crazy.
I cut about 6 to 8 cords of firewood a year depending on how cold the previous winter was. Seems to me this guy is working harder then I do. What ever happened to the 'KISS' principle?
Will ToSurvive The KISS principal goes out the door when you don’t have 6 to 8 cords a year to cut. Why not just go one step further and order the 6 to 8 cords already cut and delivered to your doorstep? Personally I don’t waste my time with wood anymore... I got a sweet pellet stove and boo-coo bags of pellets, no splinters in my fingers, no cutting 6-8 cords of wood and no splitting and stacking... just nice clean bags of pellets, don’t get any KISS-ier than that! It also helps to live in San Diego... best weather in da woyld! I just do the Bio Bricks so I don’t waste bags and bags of shreds coming from work and I burn em in my outdoor fireplace for fun.
Delivered firewood cost $225.00 a cord. A ton of pellets are about the same price. The idea of burning wood is to save money not spend it on buying fuel. Cutting and spitting it myself is free except for the time I put in and some gas and oil. I'm sure it would take me longer to gather paper and make bricks then it does to cut some real oak logs.
Will ToSurvive ....well there ya go... you got access to wood, I got access to paper shreds. If it were all about KISS we’d just be wearing Parka’s and forego all the hard work.
These work great in a wood stove and they are free. Not everyone has access to free wood. Cost of firewood is expensive.
@@Bucket247 as someone who spent FAR more of their childhood cutting wood for heat than any modern kid should.... I support your efforts. I'm surprised by how much hate this video gets
